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 réhaut 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
appliqués; it is fitted with a black alligator 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.
