IWC Vintage Collection - PORTUGUESE  0 Comments

Published Wednesday, May 21, 2008 by Harry SK Tan |

 


Here is the cover shot of the Vintage Portuguese. Admittedly I was disappointed that the steel version came with a black dial. However having seen it in the metal, I think the overall balance works. What I was surprised was how big the watch was and at 44mm with a very thin bezel, the watch looks gargantuan on the wrist. The saving grace is that its a relatively slim watch as well as having a nice FA Jone Caliber movement (first seen on the FA Jones Limited Edition).

Click on the image above to see it in full size. Do come back soo to download the desktop wallpapers of these two watches.
To see how these and others from the collection look like from another set of lenses, do also check out SJX's report of the Vintage Collection that he photographed together with me at the IWC Singapore HQ - CLICK HERE.
