IWC Portugieser Chronograph IW371604 2021 [Preowned]

The IWC IW371604, part of the iconic Portugieser Chronograph line, exemplifies IWC's ability to blend classic design with contemporary watchmaking. This reference continues the legacy of one of the most beloved chronographs in the watch world.

At 41mm in stainless steel, the case size remains true to the Portugieser's origins, offering a presence on the wrist without overwhelming it. The clean lines and thin bezel maximize dial real estate, a signature element of the Portugieser aesthetic.

The dial is where this reference truly shines. A silver dial with applied Arabic numerals and leaf-shaped hands offer excellent legibility. The chronograph subdials at 12 and 6 o'clock maintain perfect symmetry, a hallmark of the Portugieser Chronograph's enduring appeal.

Powering the IW371604 is IWC's in-house caliber 69355. This column-wheel chronograph movement, visible through the sapphire caseback, boasts a 46-hour power reserve and showcases IWC's commitment to haute horlogerie. The movement's architecture and finishing offer a feast for the eyes, elevating this Portugieser beyond mere timekeeping.

The watch comes fitted on a black alligator leather strap, providing a classic contrast to the dial and reinforcing its versatility as both a dress watch and a sporty chronograph.

With the IW371604, IWC demonstrates why the Portugieser Chronograph remains a staple in many watch collections. It's a piece that seamlessly transitions from boardroom to weekend, all while carrying the gravitas of IWC's watchmaking heritage.

Competitively priced in the luxury chronograph market, this Portugieser offers a compelling mix of timeless design, in-house technology, and the prestige of the IWC name. It's a modern classic that continues to captivate watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.
