The simplified dial layout of this Portugieser Automatic watch manufactured by IWC Schaffhausen, is in part, a quality that has led to the collection’s success since the 1930s. When two Portuguese businessmen set out to create a pocket watch sized wristwatch built with marine chronometer accuracy, the design was met with resounding success. Today the design of the IWC Portugieser watch has changed very little. Straightforward timekeeping is granted in this unique design which combines an indulgent deep blue dial with silver coloured numerals placed around the hour track. Feuille hands are another signature design trait, as is the slim bezel, which in this case is executed with a brushed technique.
The IWC Portugieser Automatic watch is powered by an engine from the 89000 series. The Calibre 82200 is put at work through a transparent sapphire crystal glass caseback, granting a clear view into its unique construction and performance. The watch offers a compact and wrist friendly case size of 40.4mm and wraps effortlessly around the wrist with a supple Santoni black leather strap for round the clock wear. The self winding movement is capable of an impressive 60 hour power reserve and beats at a performance of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Sitting at a height of 12.3mm on the wrist, this men’s IWC Portugieser watch is perfect for nestling underneath the cuff of a business suit.
