On the occasion of the Watches & Wonders Shanghai show, IWC combines its iconic Portugieser Chronograph with a version with a bracelet that transforms it from an elegant chronograph into a sporty and versatile timepiece.
The stainless steel bracelet with butterfly folding clasp is also available as an accessory for all new Portugieser Chronographs.
Introduced over 20 years ago, this replica IWC chronograph added a touch of sportiness to the line that, as we know, derives from the pocket fake watches that the manufacture made before the war.
The clean dial with the two counters set at 6 and 12 o’clock, and the internal flange with printed quarter-second scale, have made it one of the most popular models of the Maison of Schaffhausen.
The stainless steel bracelet with polished and satin surfaces is rich in elaborate finishes.
The new reference (Ref. IW371617) features a stainless steel case, silver-plated dial, and blue hands and applied elements.
Inside beats the IWC-manufactured 69355 caliber, a chronograph movement with a classic design with a column wheel visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. The bi-directional automatic winding system with ratchets accumulates a power reserve of 46 hours in a very short time.
The new stainless steel bracelet is available as an accessory for all new models of the Portugieser Chronograph (Ref. IW3716).
