IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Chronograph (IW371611)

The IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Chronograph IW371611 is the quintessence of classic elegance in a modern, watchmaking twist – a model that has impressed for decades with its harmony of proportions, legibility and timeless style. It is a watch that does not follow temporary trends, but consistently builds its identity as a symbol of sophistication, precision and calm self-confidence.

The 41 mm case, made of 18 ct rose gold, retains the slim silhouette characteristic of the Portugieser line. Its elegant, rounded shapes combined with a thin bezel make the watch look extremely light on the wrist, despite its clear presence. It is a design based on classic marine chronometers – legible, balanced and perfectly proportioned.

The focal point of the model is the white dial, which gives the whole a noble and calm character. The distinctive arrangement of the chronograph’s two sub-dials – the minute counter at 12 o’clock and the small second at 6 o’clock – creates a clean, symmetrical composition, which is the hallmark of the Portugisier. The gilded hands and indices subtly contrast with the blue background, emphasizing the luxurious yet unobtrusive character of the watch. This dial is designed for maximum legibility and aesthetic balance.

At the heart of the watch is the IWC calibre 69355 movement – an automatic chronograph with a column wheel, designed for reliability and precision. This movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 oscillations per hour and offers a power reserve of about 46 hours. Thanks to the sapphire glass caseback, you can admire its refined architecture and high-quality finish – a detail that every lover of traditional watchmaking will appreciate.

The watch is set on a brown alligator leather strap, which perfectly harmonizes with the color of the dial, emphasizing the classic and elegant character of the whole. The strap provides high wearing comfort, and the steel buckle signed with the IWC logo completes the coherent, luxurious image of the model.

The IWC Portugieser Chronograph IW371611 is a watch for a man who values classicism, balance and authenticity. It is a timepiece that will work well both in formal situations and in everyday use – discreet but expressive; elegant but unpretentious. It combines a heritage of maritime precision with modern technology and aesthetics to create a watch that defies the passage of time with class.
