A Cursory Look At Calendar Swiss Watches

By Humberto Braga


IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar, Reference 5023 has often been compared to an opulent theatre on a miniscule stage.

The face with the watch has a superbly depicted starry night sky using a moon that moves from the left to the right with the watch, imitating the real moon's movement. When it reaches the centre of the watch, it really is a full moon and is thus displayed.

The style by the watch engineers is so precise that in 577.5 years the deviation of the moon within the watch and also the real moon's actual course is just by 1 day. It's a different story that apart from the engineers no 1 else has noticed the deviation.

It has a special display that shows the actual course of the moon on the dial and also the deviation is just a minor 12 seconds in one full Lunar year.

The watch can be a complete treat for the senses and is really a timeless treasure for its owner. Featuring a perpetual calendar, automatic movement for 7 days along with the Pellaton winding, 4-digit year display plus a energy reserve display, IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar is really a must-have for a connoisseur of watches.

The IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar watch comes in two models. 1 has a red-golden case, a shadowy blue sky backdrop, a silver dial along with a gold-plated red moon.

The other version is in white gold along with rhodium plated appliqus. The dial is slate colored and has a stylish sun-pattern polish.

IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar, Reference 5021 is actually a true navigator's watch that comprehends the vitality with the moon while sailing to unknown destinations. Featuring the perpetual calendar, 4-digit year display and date and month, it also tells you the exact number of days for the next full moon.

The initial model of the watch had a black dial and brown alligator wrist strap. The newest model can be a rhodium plated white gold, blue dial along with the alligator wrist straps are now black. The moving moon is actually a shadowy blue and silver to denote the waning and waxing of the moon.
