Portugieser 7-Day Automatic – Blue Sunburst Dial (42.3mm)

The Portugieser 7-Day Automatic is widely regarded as one of the most perfectly proportioned watches ever designed. This blue dial edition adds a layer of contemporary luxury to the classic silhouette. With its imposing size and uncluttered face, it bridges the gap between a dress watch and a casual daily wearer, making a statement of sophisticated taste.

Design & Craftsmanship

Sunburst Blue Dial:
The dial is the star of the show. Finished in a deep, midnight blue with a sunburst pattern, it changes character depending on the light—appearing almost black in the shade and vivid royal blue in the sun. The railway minute track surrounds the perimeter, framing the applied Arabic numerals perfectly.

The “Owl” Layout:
Symmetry is key to this model’s appeal. The sub-dial at 3 o’clock displays the power reserve status (indicating how much energy is left in the mainspring), while the sub-dial at 9 o’clock houses the running seconds. This balanced arrangement is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Refined Architecture:
At 42.3mm, the case is substantial, featuring a polished bezel and brushed sides. The curved lugs ensure it sits comfortably on the wrist despite its size. The rhodium-plated leaf hands are slender and elegant, providing excellent legibility against the dark background.

On The Wrist

This watch demands to be seen. The blue dial is magnetic, drawing the eye instantly. While it pairs perfectly with a business suit, the bold Arabic numerals give it enough casual flair to be worn with a blazer and jeans. It feels intellectual, modern, and unmistakably premium.
