IWC Portugieser Flying Tourbillon 18kt Rose Gold Special Edition with Gorgeous satin opaline silver dial features applied rose gold Arabic numerals and the minutes chapter is comprised of dots which are engraved into the dial and then filled with gold. The hands are rose gold leaf style. There is a subsidiary seconds dial at the 6 o’clock. Of course, the most exciting aspect of the dial is the tourbillon cut away at 9 o’clock which reveals the tourbillon perpetually travelling its 360 degrees in each minute arc. - For watch lovers, one of the most fascinating aspects of this model is the unusual presentation of the flying tourbillon. The mechanical manual-winding IWC-manufactured 98900 Calibre movement with its intricately decorated nickel-silver three-quarter bridge can be admired through the transparent sapphire-glass back. It consists of 227 components, 21 Jewels, and gorgeous Côtes de Genève engraving. The tourbillon rotates around its own axis once every 60 seconds to counteract the pull of gravity on any disequilibrium in the balance wheel that would adversely affect the watch’s rate and accuracy. The arched-edge front glass gives the watch a classic, balanced appearance. The horns have also been ergonomically optimized to make the watch more comfortable to wear on a slimmer wrist. Case measures 43.2mm and is fitted on a dark brown alligator leather strap with an 18kt rose gold fold-over deployant buckle.
