The Game Changer: Integrated Movement
For years, IWC Portugieser replica fans had to settle for thick, noisy watches. APS Factory changed everything. By building the movement from scratch (instead of adding plates to a base movement), they achieved the correct 13.9mm thickness and a stable, quiet rotor. This is not just a replica; it’s a piece of engineering.

Why Choose This IWC Portugieser Replica?
1. Real Long Power Reserve
Unlike cheap replicas that die in a day, this IWC Portugieser replica features a twin-barrel system that holds power for 3-4 days. The power reserve indicator on the dial works perfectly, showing you exactly how much energy is left.
2. Correct Case Profile
Thickness matters. Because the movement is integrated, the case is razor-thin at 13.9mm. It slides under a dress shirt cuff effortlessly, unlike the bulky 15mm versions from other factories.
3. Stunning Visuals
The sapphire crystal is domed and coated with colorless Anti-Reflective (AR) coating, making the dial look like it’s floating. The blue hands are heat-blued steel, changing color from black to electric blue depending on the light.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is the power reserve really 7 days?
A: The genuine watch is 7 days (168 hours). This IWC Portugieser replica achieves about 80-100 hours (approx. 4 days). This is double the industry standard and very impressive for a clone.
Q: Is the watch waterproof?
A: It is rated for 3 ATM, which means it is safe for hand washing and rain. However, it is a dress watch with a leather strap, so we advise against swimming with it.
Q: Does the movement make noise?
A: APS has improved the rotor bearings significantly. It is much quieter than the older ZF versions. You will barely hear it on your wrist.
Q: Can I change the strap?
A: Yes. It uses standard 22mm lugs. You can upgrade to a genuine alligator strap for an even more luxurious feel.
