The replica is a real chronograph watch because its basic movement is a valjoux 7750 chronograph movement. The factory modified its movement plates and auto rotor to make it look closer to genuine IWC 79350 Caliber, and they did it. When you open the case back, you can not even tell the movement difference between the replica and genuine. So you can relax and do not worry to be spotted when wearing it among your friends.Black leather strap, plus black hand stitching, perfectly match the leisure style of the replica watch. The band is made of genuine alligator leather, it will be very durable. The leather band is fitted a deployant clasp, which is brushed and features “IWC” engraving. This IWC Portuguese is very necessary for men who need a watch to fit their business suits.
However, rather than being fitted with the same style of bracelet that is found on other Date watches of the same circa, the reference 15238 Date is fitted with a rivet-link Oyster bracelet in 18k gold. The watch itself is fairly modern, both inside and out; however, this style of bracelet was most commonly seen throughout the 1950s and 1960s, and was phased out long before the reference 15238 ever made its first appearance. The unique combination of modern and vintage aesthetics provided by the unusual presence of the rivet-link bracelet, helps to set the reference 15238 apart and make it unique; however it also makes the watch an excellent option for those in the market for a slightly smaller alternative to the Day-Date that is also still crafted entirely from solid 18k gold.
First, its size is 40.9mm×12.3mm, which can satisfy your requirement in sense of beauty. It is a little big with such diameter, and it is thinner than other normal wrist watch. Using such different size proportion really can give us special feeling in vision. And such unique style is almost revealed in every design details perfectly. Its case was made of solid 316L stainless steel, which is so delicate and bling in appearance. Combining with the scratch-proof sapphire crystal, it is so perfect collocation that has reflected its skillful craftsmanship fully. And also reflects the extraordinary temperament of wearer at the same time. Its dial uses black color, which can highlight its elegance and nobleness. What’s more, It’s markers are in golden, really a good matching with its black dial. It can be more lived with such decoration. Gold and black as main color in the whole, it reveals the style of gentleman. As we all known, In China, gold color means noble, which is only used for king in ancient age, and most of us still has this feeling now.
