IWC Portugeiser Automatic and Chronograph “Blue Panda” Editions

There has been the Type XX update, Replica Big Pilot Annual Calendar Le Petit Prince and Top Gun Ceramics. However, IWC are no one trick pony, also producing a wide range of dress and sports watches. The most popular of which is the Portugeiser with two classic examples, the IWC Portugeiser Automatic IW371620 and Portugeiser Chronograph IW500715, now available in “Blue Panda” colourways.

Essentially, the bicompax layout of subdials on both Best IWC Replica Watches are blue, set into a white dial. The two-tone pattern riffs on the traditional black and white of the panda design but with an aquatic edge that gives them the “Blue Panda” nickname. The IWC Portugeiser Automatic features its small seconds and power reserve subdials in a horizontal format while the Chronograph’s 30-minute timer and small seconds are stacked vertically.

Alongside the blue subdials, both Copy IWC Watches have blue Arabic numerals and blue feuille hands. While they’re very different watchmakers, the aesthetic of these IWCs remind me of the Marine Torpilleur Panda from Ulysse Nardin. In fact, looking back at the Marine Torpilleur, it was the last time a watchmaker used the term panda for a blue colourway as well, so the comparison is more apt than I thought.

Ultimately the Swiss IWC Portugeiser Automatic IW371620 Replica and Chronograph IW500715 “Blue Pandas” are simple and attractive recolours. Which means the specs will be familiar to anyone who knows the collection. For the Automatic that means a 42.3mm steel case housing the calibre 52010 automatic movement with pellaton winding and a 7-day power reserve. Then the Chronograph has a 41mm diameter case and the calibre 69355, a column wheel chronograph movement with automatic winding and a power reserve of 46-hours.

The Portugeiser Chronograph IW500715 Replica Swiss Made is presented on a sporty, blue rubber strap while the Automatic IW371620 is on blue alligator leather. Between the difference in strap and substantial difference in movement, the prices of the two watches also differs dramatically.

IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph in Mint Green and Titanium

Facelifted in 2021 with a slimmed-down case that went from 43 mm to 41 mm, the Cheap Replica IWC Pilot’s chronograph is a longstanding bestseller that’s now more wearable.

The new chronograph is the first official team watch, meaning it will be worn by all team members ranging from mechanics to strategists. It’s naturally dressed in the team’s signature colour.

The overall design for the new chronograph appears almost identical similar to the standard model, except for the colour. But a few additions reveal themselves up close, including the sandblasted titanium case, which set it apart from IWC Replica Swiss Made current offerings.

The case material is notable – no other Pilot’s chronograph has a sandblasted titanium case – and sensible choice for a “instrument” watch. And the metal also makes sense given the Formula One context since titanium is widely used in automotive engineering due to its corrosion resistance and high strength-to-density ratio.

But it is the mint green that makes the watch truly unique. The green livery will be appealing to fans of the racing team, and more broadly its resemblance to currently fashionable Tiffany blue will no doubt be a big plus.

And a chronograph is also the most appropriate complication for a racing team. That said, there’s a disconnect between the idea of an aviator’s IWC Knockoff Watches and the official timepiece for a Formula 1 team.

The choice of the same green for the markers, indices, and lettering creates an aesthetic that is appealing and distinctive, while still retaining the classic look of IWC’s signature pilot’s chronograph.

The IWC Replica Watch is fundamentally the classic pilot’s chronograph, so the case retains the same dimensions. It is fairly thick, though it’s almost a full millimetre thinner than its 43 mm predecessor. While still big at 41 mm, it is far more wearable than the 43 mm version. More importantly, the fact that the case is titanium will make it more wearable since it will be tangibly lighter than the steel model.

The iwc replica watches reviews movement inside is the cal. 69385, the same movement that powers the standard Pilot’s chronographs. Introduced in 2021, the cal. 69385 is part of the 69000 family of movements. Like most IWC calibres, the 69000 is engineered to be robust and functional, while having an industrial aesthetic.

IWC Big Pilot’s Replica Watch 43 Spitfire in Titanium

IWC presents its smallest Big Pilot replica watch to date. Smaller, but not small, the latest Big Pilot is 43mm, very large and clear, but more wearable.

The brand soon followed up with the Big Pilot’s 43 Spitfire, which features the same proportions but with new styles and materials. There are two variants to choose from: titanium or bronze, but the standout is definitely the lightweight metal model.

The original Big Pilot’s 1:1 replica watch 43 was inherently attractive, large enough to be an oversized pilot’s instrument, but small enough to fit relatively comfortably on the wrist. This is in stark contrast to the original Big Pilot, which was 46.5mm in diameter.

Of the two Spitfire versions, the titanium version is distinguished by its unusual, history-inspired dial. It also has an atypical case finish that mimics a worn vintage case.

The bronze model, on the other hand, is identical to the steel model except for the bronze case and green dial – in fact, it adheres to the same formula that applies to other Spitfire models. The AAA IWC replica watches china bronze version feels like another predictable variant, but the titanium model is novel.

Like the stainless steel Big Pilot’s Watch 43, the titanium Spitfire has a dateless, unadorned dial. But the beige luminous material in the titanium version does have a noticeably more retro look, giving it a contrived feel.

That being said, the titanium version has a more pronounced military flair, thanks to the scalloped dial with oversized minute numerals, a layout unique to the Big Pilot Exact replica watches family, be it large or small.

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, the dial works well. It has an attractive aviation instrument look while also maximizing the space in the large chassis.

The Cheap IWC Replica dial also features subtle colors and textures that vary with its constituent elements. The dial itself is matte black with a grainy finish up close. The hands echo the matte black finish, making it the only Big Pilot’s Watch 43 with black hands.

The dial features three types of markings, each with a different colour to differentiate the indications on the dial according to their relative importance.

The innermost ring and hour numerals are discreet grey. Its Arabic numerals do improve legibility, but the grey font conveys the fact that the hours are not the most important indication on the IWC Replica Watch dial. That’s because pilots need minutes and seconds at a glance, not hours.

In addition to the dial, another highlight of the Big Pilot 43 Spitfire titanium watch is the case. While titanium is a common material in watchmaking, it’s rarely seen in IWC’s catalogue these days, especially for the brand’s pilot watches.

Besides the material itself, the finish of the Spitfire case is also unusual. The Copy IWC Watches case has an even, lightly worn look reminiscent of a vintage watch.

IWC sister company Panerai first used this finish when it launched the Radiomir 8 Days PAM 992. But since Panerai applies this treatment to the stainless steel case, the finish of the Radiomir PAM 992 looks finer and shinier.

Another attraction of the titanium Spitfire is the closed back, which is more traditional for aviation instruments than its steel counterpart, the sapphire back. A sturdy caseback has a real advantage, albeit a slight one. It allows the use of a soft iron inner shell or a Faraday cage to prevent magnetism.

The IWC replica watches forum Spitfire Titanium Edition is a great follow-up to the steel model, the same size but with an unusual execution, a feat considering the number of pilot watches IWC has put out. It has a different case and dial – in a good way – which easily makes it the most compelling iteration of the Big Pilot 43.
