The replica IW545104 recreates one of the cleanest hand-wound dress watches ever made: a Portuguese-style reference with a silver-white dial, applied numerals and a small seconds subdial at six. It is the kind of watch that reads as a quiet classic on the wrist instead of a statement piece. This guide covers what the reference looks like, what it is built from, and what to expect from the ordering and delivery process.
Key Features
- 44 mm polished stainless steel case with a slim bezel and gently curved lugs
- Silver-white dial with applied Arabic numerals and slim leaf-shaped hands

- Flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating for a clear, low-glare read
- Crocodile-grain leather strap in black or brown with a steel pin or deployant clasp
- Splash-resistant construction for everyday wear, rain and hand washing
- Presented in a travel case with a polishing cloth and spare spring bars
Materials and Specifications
The case is 316L stainless steel, hand-polished on the sides and lightly brushed on the case back, which keeps the 44 mm size visually slim on the wrist. The dial is a lacquered silver-white finish with printed minute track and applied steel numerals; the hands are heat-blued or polished steel depending on the variant you choose. The movement is a hand-wound mechanical calibre with a decorated bridge and blued screws, running at a standard beat rate with a power reserve that comfortably covers a full day between windings. The strap is stitched leather with a soft lining, and the lugs accept standard 22 mm straps, so swapping to a mesh bracelet or a fabric strap takes only a few minutes.
Is the replica IW545104 close to the original design?
Yes. Case proportions, dial printing, applied numerals and the position of the small seconds all follow the original layout closely, which is why this reference is popular as a dress watch rather than a flashy one.
How often does a hand-wound watch need winding?
Once a day is enough for most wearers. Wind it gently at the same time each morning until you feel resistance, and never force it past that point.
Can it be worn with a suit and casually?
Both. The slim case slips easily under a cuff, and a strap change to brown leather or fabric makes it work with knitwear and denim.
Shipping and Returns
Orders are packed discreetly in plain outer packaging and dispatched with tracking, usually within a few business days. Delivery windows vary by destination, and a tracking number is provided as soon as the parcel leaves the warehouse. If the watch arrives with a defect or does not match the description, contact support within the stated return window for a replacement or refund; keep the original packaging and tags until you have confirmed everything is correct. Exchanges for a different strap colour or dial variant are handled the same way.
