Portugieser chronograph, iw371605

The Portugieser Chronograph is one of IWC Schaffhausens 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 Portugiesers origins as a nautical precision instrument for the wrist. This model features a stainless steel case, a silver-plated dial, as well as blue hands and appliques; 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.
