Please note that delivery times noted are estimates and may be subject to change based on supplier stock.** Since its introduction in 1998, the IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Chronograph has epitomized sporty elegance within the collection. Known for its IWC-typical vertical subdial arrangement, it enhances readability by placing stopped minutes at the 12 o'clock position and small seconds at 6 o'clock, making it a hallmark of design. The dial, housed in a polished 18-carat 5N gold case with a 41mm diameter, features an Obsidian color complemented by gold-plated hands and appliques. This model stands out due to its multi-layered lacquer dial, created through a meticulous 60-step process including the application of 15 layers of lacquer, finely ground and polished to achieve a deep, glossy finish. The depth effect is further intensified by milled subdials and a special printing process, with hand-mounted appliques adding to its luxurious appeal. Powered by the robust, IWC-manufactured 69355 caliber, this watch promises reliability and precision. It is beautifully finished with a premium black alligator leather strap by Santoni and secured with an 18-carat 5N gold pin buckle, ensuring both comfort and style.
