fake iw371446

The IW371446 is the stainless steel Portugieser Chronograph with IWC's deep blue dial, and it is one of the most requested references we carry. This 1:1 replica reproduces the 41mm case proportions, the twin-register layout and the applied numerals closely enough that the silhouette reads correctly from across a table. Here is what you get, how it is built, and how ordering works.

Key Features

• 41mm stainless steel case with the original's slim bezel and curved lugs
• Deep blue sunburst dial with applied silver numerals and feuille hands
• Twin vertical registers: chronograph minutes at 12, running seconds at 6
• Working chronograph pushers with clean start, stop and reset action
• Domed sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating
• Exhibition case back showing the decorated automatic chronograph movement
• Choice of hand-stitched leather strap or brushed steel bracelet
• Water resistant to 3 ATM for rain and hand washing

Materials and Specifications

The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and measures 40.9mm across, 12.3mm thick, with a 20mm lug width, matching the reference numbers. The dial is a lacquered sunburst blue with rhodium-plated markers, and the hands are the correct leaf shape with lume applied only where the original carries it. Inside runs a 7750-based automatic chronograph beating at 28,800 vph with roughly 40 hours of power reserve, finished with Geneva stripes and blued screws under the sapphire back. The crystal is double-domed sapphire, and the strap is hand-stitched calf leather with a signed pin buckle.

Does the chronograph actually work?

Yes. Both pushers are functional: the top pusher starts and stops the central seconds hand and the 12 o'clock counter, and the bottom pusher resets both to zero.

How close is it to the genuine Portugieser Chronograph?

Externally it is very close, with matching case dimensions, dial printing, hand shapes and crystal profile. The main difference is inside, where the movement is a proven Asian chronograph caliber rather than an in-house IWC movement.

Is the blue dial the same shade as the original?

It is a deep navy sunburst that shifts toward blue-grey in bright light, which is exactly how the genuine dial behaves. Under indoor lighting the two are very hard to tell apart.
