By Humberto Braga


Imprinted with the IWC logo, the Portuguese Vintage Collection Restricted Edition watch has a black alligator leather wrist band along with a platinum casing.

The Portuguese hand wound has a big screw balance, Breguet spring, plus a 98295 calibre having a 2.5Hz frequency.

It has Arabic hour markers and minute markers along with a smaller circle inside the centre of the watch that separates the mid-point of the dial.

This watch also displays what is called the 'railway track' that was very significantly in fashion when the watch was designed.

The front glass of the watch has an arched edge and is analogous to a Portuguese pocket-watch of the ancient times. It has a round-shaped silver-plated dial as well as a modest seconds sub-dial too at the bottom of the watch.

The 44 millimeter case has a ridged bezel related towards the older models of Portuguese watches. It has the best of modern technology, despite its historically inspired capabilities and look. The bridge has a silver and nickel plating and is decorated with Geneva stripes and round graining.

This watch is hand-wound and can give a power reserve of 46 hours when fully wound. Its anti-reflective coating on each sides provides you with an unhindered viewing of the time on the watch. The watch is resistant to water as much as 3-bar.

IWC was founded by American watch-maker F.A. Jones as a result of his dream of combining gorgeous Swiss construction with American modern technology. He formed International Watch Business in 1868 in Switzerland and the company has since grown to be an industry leader in watch-making.

Jones protected the high standard of mechanical construction and accuracy of time in his watches. To this day, his firm has maintained this high standard of quality and has turn out to be world-famous and synonymous with luxury, high end watches.
