The dial has a blue surface with a radial pattern; The silver hour markers are a classic element of the Portugieser series. Workmanship is the same as the original.

The polished steel ring around the glass is concave designed; It is not in a semicircular shape that protrudes from the ordinary. In this way, scratches resulting from daily contact can be prevented to a large extent.

Glass detail: the sapphire glass of the dial is not flat, but slightly raised. It has a slight curve, just like the original.

There is an IWC mark on the folding clasp. There is no need to doubt ZF's workmanship as a buckle manufacturer.

On the movement side, ZF uses its specially made 82200 movement. The black ceramic gears and claws on IWC's iconic Pellaton winding mechanism, as well as IWC's iconic oversized balance wheel, combined with the round gold patterned decoration, create a striking touch. This does not make the whole mechanism look too simple; The similarity rate is also quite high.
