ABOUT THIS WATCH

• ​The Portugieser is an integral part of IWC’s catalogue, with an enduring design that’s remained relatively unchanged since its introduction in the late 1930s
• With its large 41mm case width, slimline proportions, and minimal bezel, this watch is almost all dial on the wrist
• ​As chronographs go, this Portuguese is a remarkably elegant example favouring a minimalist type approach to the classic complication
• ​It was produced as a special edition to commemorate IWC’s 150th anniversary 
• ​It features a striking lacquered blue dial with printed numerals, rather than then applied versions we’re used to seeing on the Portugieser line 
• The result is a mechanical chronograph that offers a desirable blend of elegance and usability
• This example is paired with a factory black alligator strap and signed IWC deployant clasp
