In 2025, IWC once again set off a wave of high-end sports dress replica watches with the Portuguese series chronograph IW371624. This new work with a stainless steel case and a dune-colored dial combines classic nautical genes with modern technological innovation, becoming another perfect interpretation of the brand’s “elegant pragmatism”.
Dune Aesthetics: A Visual Feast of 60 Steps
The dune-colored dial of IWC IW371624 replica is not a simple matte coating, but is crafted through 60 independent processes. The base is made of brass blanks and 15 layers of transparent paint. After fine grinding and high polishing, it presents a gradient luster similar to the desert wind erosion landform. The vertical brushed lines in the center of the dial form a subtle contrast with the sun pattern on the periphery, and the gold-plated small seconds dial at 6 o’clock highlights the three-dimensional sense through a special printing process. The time scale uses 18K gold three-dimensional nails, which are hand-inlaid by craftsmen, and together with the gold-plated willow needles, it forms a visual rhythm of light and shadow.
Movement innovation: Technological breakthrough of the self-produced 69355 movement
As the core upgrade of the Swiss Replica IWC Portuguese Chronograph, the self-produced Calibre 69355 movement bids farewell to the ETA era. This column-wheel chronograph structure movement contains 205 parts, a vibration frequency of 28,800vph (4Hz), a power reserve of 46 hours, and is equipped with a two-way pawl winding system. Its biggest breakthrough is that the chronograph module and the basic movement are integrated into a single-layer structure with a thickness of 13 mm, which is 15% thinner than the previous generation. The Geneva wave-polished plywood and hollow rotor can be seen through the sapphire case back. The stability of the movement is endorsed by the brand’s internal “8-year extended warranty” plan, becoming a benchmark for the Richemont Group’s technology matrix.
Design language: modern expression of maritime genes
The 41mm stainless steel case continues the iconic design of the Portuguese series: concave chronograph sub-dial, track-type minute scale, and 12 o’clock triangle luminous logo. The new model is innovative in that the lug curvature is optimized, making the 13mm thick case fit the wrist curve better, and paired with a 20mm wide black crocodile leather strap, it can achieve seamless switching between formal and casual scenes. The IWC replica watch mirror uses double-sided anti-glare sapphire glass, and the waterproof performance is increased to 3 bar (30 meters), meeting the needs of daily wear.
Market positioning: the rational choice of the new money class
As the first work of the Portuguese series with “sand dune aesthetics”, the IW371624 is expected to be priced at around $10,000, filling the gap between high-end formal fake watches and sports replica watches. Its target customer group is the “new money class” aged 30-45, who pursues the feeling of Swiss-made replica watches while emphasizing the practicality of daily wear. Compared with competing products at the same price, this watch has differentiated competitiveness with its 8-year long warranty, self-produced movement certification, and 60-step dial craftsmanship.
Conclusion: Eternal coordinates in the sea of sand
IWC Portuguese Chronograph IW371624 replica is not only a timekeeping tool, but also a contemporary interpretation of the sailing spirit by IWC. The dune-colored dial is like a logbook weathered by time, and the 69355 movement is a silent declaration of precision machinery. When traditional watchmaking craftsmanship meets the metaphor of desert aesthetics, this watch is destined to become the most poetic existence in the high-end watch market in 2025.
