IWC Portofino Ref. 2401

IWC is known for producing high-quality mechanical watch movements, and their calibers are often used in their various watch collections, such as the Portuguese, Pilot’s Watch, Portofino, and Aquatimer series.

The IWC Ref.2401 is known for its thinness and reliability. At a glance, the dial seems to be enameled. However, IWC practiced cost-cutting policies to compete during the early days of the Quartz Crisis, the company introduced the “simile enamel” dial, a type of dial that resemblant to an enamel dial yet cut the painstaking process of making a proper porcelain dial.
