Movement and Functions

AZ Factory lists a 52010-style automatic mechanical movement for this watch. It provides central hours and minutes, small seconds and a power reserve display.

The automatic winding system uses wrist movement to build stored energy. However, the factory has not specified the actual running time after a full wind.

Therefore, the movement designation alone does not confirm seven days of power reserve or the same internal construction as the genuine IWC calibre.

Central Hour and Minute Hands

The shorter central hand displays the current hour, while the longer hand indicates the minutes.

Together, these hands provide the main time display. The separate subdial at 9 o’clock handles running seconds.

Small Seconds at 9 O’clock

The left subdial displays normal running seconds.

Its hand continues moving while the movement operates. Consequently, this display helps you check whether the watch is running.

Power Reserve Display at 3 O’clock

According to the factory information, the right-hand display indicates the movement’s remaining stored energy.

As winding adds energy, a functioning indicator should move toward the higher end of its scale. Conversely, it should move toward the lower end as the movement uses that energy.

Our inspection team will check the indicator’s response during QC. However, confirming the exact running time requires a separate full-wind runtime test.

Case and Dial

The factory lists a 42mm case with a rose-gold-tone finish and a matching bezel. The warm exterior contrasts with the blue dial and creates a distinctive colour combination.

Meanwhile, the displays at 9 and 3 o’clock balance the dial around the central hands. This arrangement separates running seconds from the power reserve indication.

A sapphire crystal covers the dial. In addition, its anti-reflective coating helps reduce glare under different lighting conditions.

Strap and Clasp

The leather strap complements the classic Portugieser styling. A matching rose-gold-tone folding clasp secures the watch around the wrist.

The factory has not specified the strap colour or leather grade. Therefore, actual product photos and QC videos should confirm these details before shipment.

Water Resistance

The factory states 30 metres of water resistance. However, no independent pressure-test report confirms this rating.

Avoid swimming, showering and immersing the watch. Also, keep the leather strap dry and do not operate the crown while the watch is wet.

A professional pressure test can establish the individual watch’s water resistance. Until then, the factory rating should not serve as a guarantee of protection against water exposure.

Care Instructions
Wind and adjust the watch gently.
Keep it away from strong magnetic fields.
Avoid heavy impacts and sudden temperature changes.
Clean the case with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
Keep the leather strap away from water, perfume and cleaning chemicals.
Close the folding clasp fully before wearing the watch.
Arrange an inspection if timekeeping or the power reserve indicator behaves unusually.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the case diameter?

AZ Factory lists the case diameter as 42mm. This page follows the supplied factory measurement.

What movement does this watch use?

The factory lists a 52010-style automatic mechanical movement with hours, minutes, small seconds and a power reserve display.

Is the case made from solid rose gold?

The supplied specifications do not confirm solid gold or the coating method. Therefore, this page describes the exterior as rose gold tone.

What does the subdial at 9 o’clock show?

It displays normal running seconds. The small hand continues moving while the movement operates.

What does the display at 3 o’clock show?

The factory identifies it as a power reserve display. Our inspection team will check its response to winding and energy use during QC.

Does this watch have seven days of power reserve?

The factory has not confirmed its actual running time. Consequently, this page makes no seven-day power reserve claim.

Does this version have a date display?

The supplied specifications do not list a date function. Actual product photos or a QC inspection should confirm whether this version includes one.

Can I wear the watch while swimming?

Swimming is not recommended. The factory-stated 30-metre rating has not undergone independent verification, and water exposure can damage the leather strap.

Will you inspect the watch before shipment?

Yes. Our team will inspect the movement, display functions and exterior after the watch arrives from the factory.

We will then provide two QC videos showing movement operation and the actual watch. Finally, we will confirm the model and delivery details with you before shipment.
