Hello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. With the popularity of green wristwatches, perhaps driven by the fame of the Rolex “Green Ghost” or the need to break free from traditional constraints for freshness and freedom amid pandemic-induced oppression, green watches have become the darling of the watch industry in recent years. In the watch world, the mention of “Portugieser” immediately brings to mind IWC’s Portuguese series. As one of the brand’s most iconic collections, it combines unique design, elegance, and sportiness, boasting millions of fans. What spark will ignite when a green dial meets the Portuguese Chronograph? Today, let’s take a look at whether the ZF Factory IWC Portuguese Chronograph IW371615 green dial catches your eye and how its quality holds up.
How is the workmanship and quality of the ZF Factory IWC Portuguese Chronograph green dial IW371615?
The ZF Factory IWC Portuguese Chronograph green dial measures 41mm in diameter with a stainless steel case. The dial features a newly formulated metallic green, not the emerald green of grassland green, which is closer to the original color. The sunburst-finished dial makes this green more striking and eye-catching.
The dial uses silver Arabic numeral hour markers as scales, accented with dots, and an angled outer ring serves as the minute dial. It adopts a three-hand design: style hour hand, minute hand, and chronograph second hand. Additionally, there is a 30-minute chronograph sub-dial at 12 o’clock and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock. The sapphire crystal uses ZF Factory’s latest universal anti-glare blue film treatment, enhancing texture and anti-glare functionality.
From the side, the stainless steel crown is polished, engraved with the IWC logo, and features a non-slip texture design, feeling comfortable in hand and easy to adjust and operate. The top and bottom buttons are for starting/pausing and resetting the chronograph, with tactile feedback that showcases the thrilling mechanical chronograph function.
The ZF Factory case back undergoes large-area polishing and screw hole slotting treatment, a relatively complex process. The polished areas are extremely shiny, and the font on the case back is deep, bold, and with enhanced three-dimensionality.
The new see-through version of the ZF Factory IWC Portuguese Chronograph uses a Dandong 7750 movement modified to replicate the original CAL.69355 movement, matching thickness, dimensional data, layout, balance wheel position, and functional purposes in all aspects without flaw. This year, IWC upgraded the Portuguese Chronograph with its in-house 69355 movement and changed the original solid case back to a see-through design, allowing better observation of the movement’s operation, which is visually pleasing. Of course, with the movement upgrade and see-through design, the price of the Portuguese Chronograph has increased accordingly, but within the same price range, IWC is undoubtedly a top choice for many watch enthusiasts.
The black imported calf leather strap has dense edge stitching that resists fraying. The leather is soft and comfortable in hand, interchangeable with genuine straps. For those with higher strap requirements, upgrading to an alligator leather strap is recommended. The steel clasp is the same as the authentic model, a ZF Factory specialty—the brushed IWC logo is extremely fine, and when opening the clasp, the internal polishing and three-dimensional font are both excellent.
In summary, as more people grow dissatisfied with ordinary colors and crave uniqueness, IWC’s official authentic models have also broken conventions to try more innovative colors, making green increasingly popular! The ZF Factory IWC Portuguese Chronograph green dial offers extremely high restoration and exquisite craftsmanship, providing watch enthusiasts with one more option for green replica watches! Those who like it might as well start one! I am Bokey, see you next time!
