SIHH 2010: IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar (Ref. IW5023)The Swiss brand has once again updated its gorgeous IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar range extending the line with three extra model and two choices of metal (now you can get it in red gold and white gold, too).The most appealing to yours truly is the model ref. IW5023 with its traditional moon phase display and a perfect combination of blue dial and white gold case reminding of a frozen blue flame.Powered by the same Calibre 51613 automatic movement as the earlier iterations of the model, the IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar Ref. IW5023 features the same complex functionality perfectly displaying current day, date, day of week, month, four digit year and moon phase.The only disadvantage of this movement is that it will need date correction on February 28, 2100, but that is hardly a problem, unless you plan to live another 90 years.

When you own a Panerai, it is a simple job to get a decent custom made strap for it. When you own , it is a bit harder…?Ǭ?the IWC soft strap of the AMG version will fit perfectly, but IWC doesn’t make a leather strap for this model. creates leather straps for all types and makes of watches. Including a strap for the IWC Ingenieur. I heard about it via e-mail, when a reader of this blog noticed that Jacob was making these straps and did know that I own a 3227 as well The writer of the mail also sent me a link to a short review of the Jacob strap for the IWC Ingenieur on Watch Talk Forums ().Before I clicked, I wondered if Jacob had made a solid construction for the strap ends (that are being connected to the case with a genius spring system). And he did. Jacob uses a steel core layer to give the strap the proper ‘strength’, because the construction of the lugs and strap could easily ‘break’ the strap if not strengthened by something more solid inside it. I think the official IWC soft strap uses the same kind of construction with a metal core inside.Price for an IWC Ingenieur strap is 130 Euro, excluding shipping costs. Prices (and some examples) of IWC Ingenieur straps can be found here: Below is an example picture (from Jacob’s website) of the Ingy strap:Thanks to Maarten for letting me know!
