Design concept
The design style of the IW501701 watch fully reflects IWC’s perfect combination of tradition and modernity. The Portuguese Series Automatic Watch 42 was first launched in 2000. It is equipped with a balanced hollow dial with a power reserve display at 3 o’clock and a small seconds dial at 9 o’clock. This watch is equipped with a 42.4 mm diameter stainless steel case, silver-plated dial, gold-plated hands and hour markers. The watch adopts a newly designed case structure, with a slimmer case lining, and sapphire glass mirrors on both sides, making the watch more elegant and sophisticated. The finely carved dial is a highlight, created using a complex process consisting of 60 independent processes. The dial is coated with 15 layers of transparent lacquer, then finely ground and highly polished, creating an unusual, deep and charming optical effect. The small dial is polished on a brass base plate and lacquer layer, using a special printing process to highlight the 3D effect. Finally, the hour markers are set on the dial one by one by hand.
Materials and craftsmanship
The case and bracelet of the watch are made of high-quality 316L stainless steel, which not only has excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, but also has a surface treatment process that makes it smoother and more delicate. The watch mirror is made of hard sapphire crystal, which has excellent scratch and impact resistance. It also has a certain degree of light transmittance, so every detail of the dial can be clearly seen.
Movement technology
The IW501701 watch is equipped with the IWC 52011 self-made movement, which is carefully decorated with bead-shaped patterns and Geneva ripples. The Pellaton winding system is equipped with wear-free zirconia ceramic components, and its dual barrels provide a power reserve of up to 7 days (168 hours). The watch is paired with a black alligator leather strap and a stainless steel folding clasp.
Functional performance
In addition to the basic hours, minutes, and seconds display functions, the IW501701 watch also has date display and power reserve indication functions, making it more practical.
