The
Portuguese Green Calendar is inherited from the 44.2mm large diameter of the
original model. The faceplate is composed of small seconds and a seven-day
storage display. The small dial is closer to the edge of the faceplate, so 3
points and The 9 o'clock direction timestamp has to be discarded. As for the
11 o'clock to 1 o'clock direction, the brand uses the "American
calendar", that is, the date, the week and the month window are arranged
one above the top of the dial, so these three places The time scale must also
make trade-offs, but in terms of the overall vision, the absence of these
five-point time scales will not cause much trouble for reading.
▲ Double-sided dial with American-style calendar, the
faceplate not only looks simple and degenerate but also the green radiation
the pattern makes the single-color faceplate look more layered.
The green
the surface is not only rare for the Portuguese series but even if it is a
brand-wide collection, it may be limited edition, so the green and previous
silver and blue-faced stainless steel models are also available on the
faceplate. The difference is that the first two use the silver hour markers,
while the green ones are replaced with the rose gold hour markers. The
combination of green and gold looks very eye-catching, giving people a feeling
of low-key luxury, especially green. Radiation pattern treatment, so the color
will reflect the shade of color with different light or different angles, which
will make the green surface green and layered.
▲The black ceramic cam located at about 9 o'clock on the
back of the watch is the fine adjustment of the 52850 movements on the signature
Bühler winding system. Also, the movement frequency is changed from
21,600 vph of the 51000 series to 28,800 vph.
The 52850
the caliber of the IW503510 has the IWC-branded Peleton winding system, also known
as the Woodpecker Winding System. This design is unique in that it has a metal
of unequal length underneath the automatic disk winding. The cam, by the
movement of the metal cam and the metal arm connected to it, pushes the barrel,
which is called the woodpecker, because the metal arm has a beak-like pawl that
achieves two-way winding operation. And the 52850 movement is good, except that
it has the IWC-branded woodpecker winding, and because the device is more
refined on the basis of the 52000 series, the original metal cam and the
interlocking metal arm are from the original The white ceramic is made of black
ceramic made of cobalt oxide, which improves the original durability. In terms
of appearance, it is also changed from a white ceramic that is mistakenly considered
by plastics to a black cam with a texture. Besides, its power is output by
two barrels, so it can achieve the effect of a 7-day chain, with the automatic
winding, the long-term movement can be more than enough for everyday wear.
