The replica IW545120 recreates one of the most recognizable dress-watch silhouettes in modern watchmaking: a wide, uncluttered dial, a small seconds subdial at six, and a slim bezel that lets the numerals do the talking. It is a first-copy build aimed at buyers who want the look and feel of a Portugieser-style hand-wound watch on the wrist without the original's price tag. Here is what to expect from the case, dial, movement and strap before you order.

Materials and Specifications
The case is machined from 316L stainless steel and measures roughly 44 mm across and about 10 mm thick, with a 22 mm lug width. Sides are brushed while the bezel and lug tops are polished, which gives the watch its period-correct contrast. The dial is brass with a lacquered silver-white finish; numerals are applied and the minute track is pad-printed, so it stays crisp rather than fuzzy at arm's length. Inside is a hand-wound mechanical movement running at about 21,600 vibrations per hour with a power reserve in the region of 40 hours, and the seconds hand stops when you pull the crown to set the time precisely. The strap is genuine leather with a soft lining, fitted with quick-release spring bars so you can swap it without tools.
Shipping and Returns
Every order is packed in a padded watch box with the strap wrapped and the crystal protected, then shipped with tracking; most orders leave the warehouse within two business days and you receive a tracking number by email at dispatch. If the watch arrives and does not suit you, unused pieces in their original packaging can be returned within the stated window for a refund or exchange — just contact support first and we will send return instructions.
Does the replica IW545120 have a working small seconds hand?
Yes. The subdial at six is driven by the movement rather than being decorative, so the seconds hand sweeps continuously and can be used to check that the watch is running.
Is it hand-wound or automatic?
It is hand-wound. You wind it through the crown, which gives roughly 40 hours of running time, so the simple habit is to wind it each morning while you put it on.
How does it wear on a smaller wrist?
At 44 mm the watch wears large but flat, and the short, curved lugs keep it from overhanging. Wrists under about 6.5 inches will find it dramatic rather than discreet, which suits the design's intent.
