IWC has not shied away from releasing numerous new replica watches this year. Unlike brands like replica Rolex, which has introduced a ton of new models across its extensive collections, IWC is usually more cautious in its approach – which is exactly what the Swiss-German brand is like on almost any given day.
Last year, we only had a few different releases. This year, the brand has brought a colorful collection of replica luxury watches with many stunning models from the Portugieser collection. One of the most impressive is the complicated Perpetual Calendar. While most mainstream watches like the Perpetual Calendar, Chronograph, and Pure Timepieces are available in a variety of dial colors, the most surprising and interesting to me is the only Tourbillon in the new Portugieser collection. The color options may be limited on this watch, but it does offer unique black and gold options.
The new IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Day & Night continues the classic design of the Portugieser collection while adding a tourbillon complication. This collection has always been a favorite among watch enthusiasts and is usually a great choice for newcomers to IWC. The design is simple yet bold, and eye-catching enough without being too over the top. The case has been subtly redesigned, with double sapphire glass on both the front and back, and measures 42.4mm in diameter and 10.8mm thick. While that’s not a small size – IWC isn’t afraid to draw attention to size or experiment with new technology – it remains comfortable to wear.

I almost ignored this watch at IWC’s press event. Instead, I was drawn to the Perpetual Calendar model with its 18K Armor gold and “Obsidian” lacquer dial. This dial has layers of lacquer that have been treated with a sunray texture that catches the glow in direct light and a deep black in shadow. Similar to the tourbillon dial, the hands, and appliques are also gold-plated. While the perpetual calendar dial itself is complex and difficult to fully understand, I particularly appreciated the combination of gold and black. While past replica IWC Portugieser Tourbillon collections have included a range of styles from simple to complex (such as the Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph), this new watch is somewhere in between, and the uniqueness of the design left me a little confused. That slightly off-kilter tension made me want to take a closer look.
The tourbillon is essentially an older technology that serves more to add a dynamic aesthetic to the dial than is necessary. Another visual highlight of this watch is the day/night indicator. As you adjust the hands, the day/night indicator lights up to show whether the time is set to AM or PM. Located at 9 o’clock on the dial, this little orb splits down the middle into a deep black or gold hemisphere, and while its design is reminiscent of Arnold & Son’s Luna Magna, the sphere here is not a moon phase display.
This complication is powered by the IWC-manufactured 81925 manual-winding movement, which operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 84 hours. The movement is fully visible through the sapphire case, with circular Geneva stripes showing the grand design pattern. As a lover of a good story, I couldn’t help but be attracted by the interesting facts about the new movement that the IWC replica watches team shared with me.

The design of the new Portuguese Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night was inspired by a (now-former) apprentice at IWC who submitted the idea for consideration. Imagine being a young watchmaker and coming up with a potential new complication at a large, storied brand like the imitation IWC. What would the reaction be like when you learn that the brand plans to re-introduce this complication as one of its main collections? This process proves that great ideas can come from anywhere, as long as the brand is willing to listen and adopt them.
