IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Chronograph

DESCRIPTION

The Portugieser Chronograph is one of IWC Schaffhausen's most iconic models. With its compact diameter of 41 millimetres, it fits almost any wrist. However, the thin bezel gives one the impression of wearing a significantly larger watch. The clear, functional dial boasts applied Arabic numerals and slender Feuille hands. Printed with a quarter-second scale, the characteristic rehaut not only allows precise reading of the stop time but also reminds us of the Portugieser's origins as a nautical precision instrument for the wrist. This model features an 18 carat 5N gold case, a slate-coloured dial, as well as golden hands and appliques; it is fitted with a black leather strap. Inside the sporty-elegant chronograph, the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre is at work. The robust and precise chronograph movement in classic column-wheel design is visible through a sapphire-glass case back.

IWC has been at the forefront of watch innovation for over 150 years. Our chronometers continue to redefine the standards of Swiss luxury watches. Each model presents mechanical finesse in which intricate design balances expectations of grandeur.
