ZF Factory IWC Portugieser Annual Calendar Wristwatch Review and Rating

The IWC Portugieser model is produced by ZF Factory with a solid stainless steel case, 44 mm diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

Case and Body Workmanship

The bezel is arch-shaped, round and natural; Fine polishing and machining has made the entire dial bright and sparkling, preserving the usual high-end quality. The watch glass is made of sapphire glass with an anti-reflective blue coating; Clear and transparent, visibility is very good. However, the cutting and processing process of dome-shaped sapphire glass is extremely difficult and the waste rate is extremely high; We offer you an unrivaled experience that is closest to the original, without avoiding costs.

Dial and Hand Details

The text printing and front appearance are almost perfect; A two-needle design consisting of hour and minute hands was used. There is a power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock and a small seconds dial at 9 o'clock. The combination of the rail-shaped striped hour markers on the outer ring with Arabic numerals on the dial surface makes it comfortable and easy to read the time. The dial logo is extremely clear; It has the same three-dimensional appearance as the original and gives you a feeling of classy, ​​classic perfection.

Let me give you a little information: we must distinguish between annual calendar and perpetual calendar watches! Simply put, annual calendar watches show the date, day and month, but cannot recognize the number of days (28, 29) of short months; so it needs to be adjusted manually once every year. Perpetual calendar watches, on the other hand, can display the date, day and month, as well as leap year and the annual calendar.

The classic logo is engraved on the tip of the crown; It looks clear and three-dimensional, its size and spacing are perfectly adjusted, and it looks quite full. The case is made of stainless steel; It has gained an extremely smooth appearance by going through polishing and brushing processes.

Movement and Caliber Performance

As for the mechanism part; Thanks to the transparent sapphire glass case back, we can see at a glance the elegant structure of the movement we produced in a completely new way. The Portugieser perpetual calendar disassembly was based on the original IWC 52850 movement (326 parts); The stones are the color of pigeon blood. Thanks to numerous trials and data analysis, the mechanism achieved an 80% compliance rate; The adjustment method and touch feeling are perfectly matched.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The strap is made of black Italian calfskin; Crocodile skin texture is pressed on the leather, the texture is nice. It may feel a little stiff when wearing it at first, but after using it for a while, it becomes more comfortable and soft. If you are uncomfortable, you can directly replace it with a crocodile strap! One of the biggest highlights this time is the folding clasp; It has reached a mutually compatible level with ZP.

Now let's look at the look it creates when worn on the wrist and other color options.

Finally, let me summarize: With this article, I believe that the Portugieser Annual Calendar watch will be greatly appreciated in light of the high technical targets. The design of the annual calendar dial is simple and eye-catching, suitable for wearing in any environment; With its new type of mechanism, this watch can be considered a new milestone in the history of IWC. For those who love Portugieser series watches and want to deal with a watch with more fun functions, this annual calendar will definitely offer a different experience.
