Bokey TimeHello everyone, I am Bokey. Today, I will share with you the watch review of the IWC Portuguese Seven-Day Chain series from ZF factory. It has a rose gold case and a gray dial. The official model is: IWC Portuguese series IW500702 watch. Now let’s take a look at how the workmanship of the ZF factory V5 version of the Portuguese Seven with rose gold and gray dial is?
The IWC Portuguese 7-day chain watch is a star product of IWC. The automatic watch not only has a case with a diameter of 42.3 millimeters, but also has the largest IWC automatic movement on the market, that is, the 51011 movement. This movement has now adjusted a more suitable size for slender wrists. In addition to retaining the elegant appearance of the famous original Portuguese watch in the 1930s, this movement also retains embedded Arabic numeral scales, railroad minute circles and slender swallow-tailed hands. It is equipped with the most outstanding function of IWC today, the Pellaton automatic winding system, elegant small seconds hand and 7-day power reserve display. More new and advanced functions are added, such as coated convex sapphire glass watch mirror, two-layer case or new screw-in sapphire glass bottom cover.
This IWC IW500702 watch, the rose gold case with a gray dial has always been one of my favorite IWC watches. Its unique elegant temperament is truly natural. The nobility of the rose gold case originally has a noble atmosphere, and the watch with a gray dial has a very deep feeling. Because gray is a color between black and white, it can be roughly divided into dark gray and light gray. The neutral gray gives people a feeling of stability in store design, and the gray dial design will give people an elusive and deep feeling. So when the rose gold case is matched with the gray dial design, and then decorated with the classic formal IWC Portuguese Seven, it will further highlight the noble, mature and stable temperament of successful men.
The rose gold case and gold hour hand will give you a different feeling. If the steel model with a white dial and blue hands gives you a feeling like a clear spring, then this watch with a beige dial and gold hands gives people a hotter feeling. What remains unchanged is the overall simple, accurate design style and watchmaking standards of the watch.
The iconic sapphire mirror material is coated with a blue film on the surface. Under the reflection of light, it will further highlight the overall texture of the watch.
This V5 version of the IWC Portuguese Seven watch from ZF factory has a power reserve of up to about three days. It is located at 3 o’clock and has a power reserve display. The dial is divided into eight areas. The red part is to remind the owner of the watch that it is time to wind his beloved watch. The small seconds dial located at 9 o’clock is very streamlined. The ink-printed hour marker dial is matched with a rose gold needle-shaped small seconds hand, exuding an elegant temperament in simplicity.
Located at 6 o’clock, in the trapezoidal display box with a narrow top and a wide bottom, there is a date display with a black background and white characters. The simple display method is consistent with the overall simple style of the watch dial.
The case is made of stainless steel with rose gold plating on the outer layer by PVD. The case is polished smoothly, and the brushed treatment is also very delicate and smooth. At the connection of the lugs, the polishing is angular and meticulously crafted, and the overall polishing treatment is quite in place.
The overall thickness of the ZF factory v5 version of the Portuguese Seven with rose gold is very consistent with the genuine product, with a thickness of 14 millimeters. However, in terms of weight, it will be slightly lighter than the genuine product. Because the genuine product is made of precious metal material with a relatively large density, while the ZF Portuguese Seven with rose gold uses stainless steel material with PVD rose gold plating, so it will be lighter. The weight is 110 grams, which is about ten grams lighter.
The rose gold screw-in crown has the same size ratio as the genuine product. There is a circle of polished gear-shaped patterns on it, which increases the friction on the crown and is convenient for adjusting the time. The top is the concave-convex and smoothly polished IWC brand logo.
Regarding the precious metal mark of the ZF factory’s rose gold Portuguese Seven, the mark of his V5 Portuguese Seven replica watch is mainly engraved at the connection of the lugs. This design is also in sync with the genuine product.
The dog head mark and the 750 precious metal mark are all available, and the engraving is also very clear and three-dimensional.
The see-through bottom cover design has a disassembly notch at the bezel. It is a glass bottom cover installed by screwing. The mirror material on the back is also sapphire glass. The style and workmanship of the bottom cover are completely in accordance with the genuine product. The engraved number 3959846 on it represents the code of each watch. One watch has one code and there is no repetition.
The watch is powered by a Dandong-replicated Caliber 52010 movement, delivering precise and stable timekeeping. The exquisitely finished movement features meticulously polished bridges adorned with vibrant ruby jewels that enhance visual depth. The sandblasted rotor reveals a golden circular medallion engraved with the IWC logo at its center, flanked by crisply etched text on both sides – all rendered with exceptional clarity.
The ZF rose gold Portuguese Seven is matched with a brown cowhide strap with imitation crocodile pattern, which is fashionable and atmospheric, and the texture is also very good. It is matched with a folding clasp. The clasp is crafted with brushed details and polished corners. It is very delicate. It is one-to-one with the original version and can be interchanged with the original. The size and thickness of the engraving on the clasp are also indistinguishable from the genuine and fake.
Summary: This watch once again brings a new experience to many IWC watch fans. It is simple and generous without losing the masculine charm. I believe that every man cannot resist the charm of the Portuguese Seven. It can be perfectly controlled in any occasion and with any clothing. This watch produced by ZF factory is the closest to the genuine product. The replication is extremely excellent. It is a watch that is hard to come by.
