Background
The IWC Portugieser chronograph watch 3716 replica is an updated take on the 3714. The latter was introduced in 1998, itself building on the template that was introduced with the 1995 Portugieser Chrono-Rattrapante ref. 3712. The look would proof to become hugely popular and quite timeless.The Future
One such classic that stands to benefit from the patent ubiquity of clean dials, is the IWC Portugieser 41mm watch IW371604 fake. And the brand is clearly doubling down on the future of this model by outfitting it with a brand spanking new in-house movement. For a brand like IWC operating at a luxury price point, an in-house (or, at the very least, proprietary caliber) is a must these days. These value-conscious youngsters are making their feelings felt. As a result, the industry is responding appropriately.Honestly, I’ve never been a huge fan of IWC. I love the brand’s Aquatimer diving watches. But the models for which the company is perhaps better known have always missed the mark for me. I have to admit, though, that this release has done more to change my opinion than any in the Portugieser line so far.
In-house movement
An excellently designed rotor weight elevates an otherwise unremarkable movement. Beneath the rotor, through the four cut-outs, it’s true that there is little other than anticipatedly good-quality finishing to get excited about. But the design of the rotor is simultaneously elegant and industrial and seems, in a weird way, to encapsulate the style code of the Portugieser line in a pinch.Six options
This movement is from the 69000 family (caliber 69355). It is visible through the sapphire display case back of the new 41mm by 13.1mm Portugieser. Pleasingly, this is an integrated design with a column-wheel control component. Thankfully, the watch has automatic winding as the 46-hour power reserve is a little thin by today's standards. There are six different references available, all on alligator leather straps. There are four models in stainless steel and two in 18-karat rose gold.The steel models' dial options are either silver-plated with gold indices (Ref. IW371604 replica), silver-plated dial with blue hands and appliqués (IW371605 replica), blue (IW371606 replica), or black (IW371609 replica). The gold cases are fitted with either a slate-colored dial (IW371610 replica) or a silver-plated alternative (IW371611 replica). Prices vary due to taxes, but in the Netherlands, this one (in steel) will set you back €7,950. The rose gold versions are priced at €17,700 in the Netherlands.
