Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42 Red Gold / Silver / Alligator

In Context

At 42.4 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 60 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

IW3442-02 is one of 4 executions of the IW3442 base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a silver dial and a red gold case. Introduced in 2020. Beyond the time it carries a perpetual calendar.

Mechanical movement with Pellaton automatic winding system; perpetual calendar with display for the date, day, month, leap year and perpetual moon phase – central hacking seconds
