Portugieser Automatic 42

IWC Schaffhausen introduces new Portugieser Automatic 42 models at Watches and Wonders Geneva, featuring a completely re-engineered case construction with a slender side profile, making them particularly elegant and refined. Box-glass sapphire crystals offer an excellent view of the dials, which are elaborately finished with 15 layers of transparent lacquer. Larger aperture sapphire crystals on the back showcase the IWC-manufactured 52011 movement, featuring a Pellaton winding system with ceramic components.

The Portugieser Automatic is distinguished by its balanced dial design with the power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock and the small seconds at 9 o’clock. With the new Portugieser Automatic 42 (Ref. IW5017), IWC Schaffhausen now launches a timeless and modern instrument dress watch, which fully retains the DNA of the original Portugieser Automatic (Ref. IW50001) from the year 2000. Crafted with a stainless steel case, and a Silver Moon dial with blue hands and appliques. The blue alligator leather strap with stainless steel folding clasp offers comfort on the wrist.
