We all know someone who’s always up for anything—skydiving one weekend, sipping espresso in Central Park the next. That’s the spirit of the Portugieser. It’s as ready for adventure as it is for a relaxed Sunday afternoon. Whether it’s dressing up for rooftop cocktails or unwinding with the morning paper, this watch fits right in.
Originally designed to meet the demands of two businessmen searching for a wristwatch with the precision of marine chronometers, the Portugieser was born—and has continued to evolve ever since.
Created to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Portugieser in 2015, this limited edition of just 250 pieces features a striking sunburst blue dial encased in elegant pink gold. Inside, it’s powered by an in-house IWC movement with a 68-hour power reserve and features a perpetual calendar with bold, double-digit displays for the date and month, plus a leap year indicator.
The Portugieser is one of IWC’s most beloved models, and it just might become your new favorite companion.
