When talking about IWC Schaffhausen, the Portugieser collection is inevitably at the forefront. Created in 1939 at the request of two Portuguese businessmen who desired a wristwatch with the precision of marine chronometers, this iconic line has become a symbol of the brand. The Portugieser Chronograph, introduced in 1998, is one of the most sought-after models in the collection and perfectly embodies the elegance and watchmaking tradition of IWC.
The IW371605 reference, introduced in 2020, represents the latest evolution of this celebrated chronograph. At its heart is the IWC-manufactured caliber 69355, an automatic movement visible through the sapphire crystal case back. Featuring the Pellaton winding system, which uses ceramic components to minimize wear, the movement ensures exceptional efficiency and durability thanks to its bi-directional rotor that powers the mainspring.
The silver-plated dial of the IW371605, enhanced by applied Arabic numerals and blue indices, is a masterpiece of balance and readability. The slender leaf-shaped hands provide timeless elegance, while the chronograph counters complete the design with a harmonious layout. The watch offered for sale is brand new, never worn, and was purchased from an official IWC dealer in October 2021. It comes with an extended international warranty valid until October 2029, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
