A 40 mm Portugieser-style dress watch with a hand-wound movement is the classic answer for anyone who wants a slim, uncluttered watch with old-school mechanical charm. This first copy version keeps the clean dial, applied numerals and small seconds that make the reference so recognizable, and pairs them with a movement you wind yourself. It suits buyers who prefer a traditional crown-wound caliber over an automatic rotor and want a watch that sits flat under a shirt cuff.

Materials and Specifications
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and hand-polished, with a thickness of roughly 10 mm and a 20 mm lug width, so the watch slips easily under a cuff. The dial carries applied numerals and a printed minute track, with a small seconds subdial at six. Inside, the hand-wound caliber beats at about 21,600 vibrations per hour and holds roughly a 40-hour power reserve when fully wound. The domed crystal is sapphire-coated for everyday scratch resistance, and the strap is stitched leather with a brushed steel buckle.
Do I have to wind it every day?
Yes. A hand-wound movement has no rotor, so you wind it by the crown, usually once each morning. That ritual is the point for many owners, and it takes only a few turns.
How does the 40 mm case wear?
The 40 mm case with slim lugs wears close to a traditional dress watch, sitting comfortably on wrists from about 6.5 inches upward. It reads formal rather than sporty, so it pairs best with a shirt or a light jacket.
