In this article, we present three affordable IWC Replica watches that are perfect as a first luxury watch or as an addition to your own collection. Each of the models comes from a different series of the brand and represents what is special about IWC watches. The models are among the absolute IWC classics.
As one of the most important luxury brands, IWC is known for flawless design and the high technical standard of its in-house movements. There are six popular regular collections and one limited edition series from IWC. The regular IWC collections include Portugieser, Portofino, Da Vinci, Ingenieur, Aquatimer and the pilot’s watches. The watches in the Jubilee series, on the other hand, are limited and were released on special occasions.
1.IWC Mark XVIII
The first watch in our article is the latest in the famous IWC pilot’s watch collection: the IWC Mark XVIII. The history of these watches goes back to 1936. “The special watch for pilots” was the first watch that could withstand the extreme conditions of flight. It had a black dial with contrasting luminous hands and large hour markers. To this day, these features have remained unchanged in the legendary IWC pilot’s watches.
The Mark XVIII also features this famous dial design: large indexes and luminous hands. Since the Mark XII, the watches have also been equipped with a date display. The XVIII has a 40 mm case and is powered by the automatic IWC caliber 35111 with a 42-hour power reserve.
The latest Mark XVIII is available in various color configurations. The classic version comes with a black dial and clearly contrasting white hour and minute markers and a black strap. There is also a version with a white dial on a black or beige textile strap. The price for the IWC Mark XVIII is just over EUR 4,500 — a relatively low price for a legendary piece of watchmaking.
2.IWC Aquatimer Automatic
In 1998, the watch was relaunched and the IWC Aquatimer GST Automatic 2000 was introduced. It was the beginning of the Aquatimer series as we know it today. The latest model in the collection is the IWC Aquatimer Automatic from 2014. It is the most reduced of all Aquatimers. It comes with a date display and an internal and external SafeDive bezel system for timing dives. The dial is contemporary and functional, and the large hour indices are perfect for diving. The watch is powered by the automatic IWC caliber 30120, which offers a 42-hour power reserve.
The standard version of the Aquatimer Automatic has a black rubber strap and a choice of black or white dial. Both versions cost just over 5,300 EUR.
3.IWC Portofino Automatic
The last affordable IWC watch in our article is the IWC Portofino Automatic. The Portofino collection was first introduced in 1984. The design is inspired by the IWC Lépine pocket watches from the 1970s. The name “Portofino” refers to the elegant lifestyle of the Italian fishing village of the same name. Although the Portofino collection does not have as extensive a history as the Mark XVIII and the Aquatimer Automatic, it is still one of the most successful IWC series and is equally popular with women and men.
