Actually, a lot of wrist watches have its unique background when they launch in the market. Maybe it is in memory of a famous person or a novel or a match. Yes, now I am going to introduce the replica IWC Portuguese Yacht Club. It is almost 1:1 copy from the genuine no matter its appearance or movement. This series of collection is inspired by a competitive match, it uses the Volvo ocean Race as its design background. From this replica, we can know that it reveals brave spirit which the competitors has behaved in this match fully. Thanks for the virtuosity,this excellent replica has complimented in the end. I feel so excited to see this incredible replica. Now I can not wait to show you its detail. So let’s go!
First of all, the case size is 40.9*12.3mm which is almost as the same the per original, not only because it is made out from a 1:1 case but also because the team conquer so many difficulties to develop a replica A79350 movement. Some editions are not able to do the same size case as original edition is because it is limited by the movement inside of it, some factories are not able to copy the original movement. Then let’s move to the dial, the craftsmanship and fine details are just the same as original. IWC’s logo is very clear, and the character size is the same as original, there is no difference by looking at it. The outside markers for chronograph second function is also copied greatly. The blue long needle is for showing chronograph second, and sub-dial at 12:00 position shows chronograph minute. Sub-dial at 6:00 position together with two hands in the middle to show the time. Time Markers are numeral. Look into carefully, even the axis to hold those three hands are done as well as per original, perfectly in details! Both V6 edition and original’s front glass are made of sapphire crystal, this is a easy job for ZF to follow. Look at the case side, no matter the polish or matt work, they are exactly the same as the genuine. On the crown and the buttons for adjust functions, they are looking the same in shape and engraving logo on it, but V6 edition’s is painted with blue coating which is for protecting them from the scratch. For the strap, the original one is using crocodile leather, V6 edition’s standard strap is real cow leather but Z factory also offer crocodile leather with extra pay.
This replica watch has elegant temperament and simple appearance as a whole. It still with the classic dial style of IWC, which may have ultra big diameter, yes, it has 44.5mm. Its case was made of solid stainless steel 316. There are steel rail-mounded minute scales on the black dial. The hour hand was steel leaf hand which was the representative of elegance. The slender hands help us to read time clearly. What’s more, it has set a seconds sub-dial at 6:00 position. The transparent sapphire crystal was so clear and can be wear resistant. Correspondingly, the case back also used this crystal. This considerate design gave us a precious opportunity to observe the operation of movement clearly. This replica matched with a black leather strap, even its stitch was also black. Along with the black dial which has steel hands inside. I think it can highlight your shrewd and capable temperament obviously when you wearing this wrist watch. The thickness of case only has 11.5mm, really thin in shape, which may be more fit for wrist with comfortable wearing experiment.
