Best Fake IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Big Date Wrist Watch

Friday is a pretty big date – Valentine’s Day. So, to get ready, we’re going to take a last minute look at the best fake IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Big Date. Whether you need the complication to make sure you don’t miss the holiday or you just like it, the Big Date is a modern classic in the making.

It is though the most complicated member of the Portofino family. At 12 o’clock, just below the lone Roman numeral, is the big date complication, which uses two disks to display the two numerals. To the left, just around 9 o’clock is the power reserve indicator for the hand-wound 8-day movement. Down at 6 o’clcok a large sub-seconds register finishes things off. Because of the large dial in the 45mm case, none of this looks crowded or cluttered.

Sure, the mens fake IWC Portofino Big Date debuted less than a year ago at Watches&Wonders in Hong Kong, but it already feels like a core part of the Portofino collection. It combines the simple case shape with gently curved lugs, classic dial with baton markers, and beautiful leaf shaped hands that tie the entire family together.

Santoni alligator straps finish off both the red gold and white gold versions of the Big Date, making it perfect for, well, that big date.

Turning the case over, you’ll find the in-house calibre 59230 movement. The movement is hand-wound, meaning there is no rotor to get in the way of admiring the rest of the mechanics. The large bridges are just short of looking austere, giving little looks at components like the large barrel at 12 o’clock and the balance down at 5 o’clock. When you pull the crown, you’ll see the balance stop along with the small seconds hand on the dial.

Sure, the 45mm size is substantially larger than what you might expect from a relatively dressy IWC copy watch like the Portofino Big Date, but it does make the watch seem a little more casual.
