A traditional line of nautically inspired precision instruments would be incomplete without a chronograph with a quarter-second scale for precision timing. The elegant design and moderate height of the case have made the Portuguese Chronograph one of the most sought-after Portuguese models of them all. The hands, numerals and totalizers are harmoniously integrated into the clear-cut dial.
A chronograph is an elegant way of recording periods of time
Excellence on the high seas
Recessed totalizers and perfectly proportioned feuille hands
Stylish and sophisticated
Embossed Arabic numerals
The tradition behind the Portuguese family of watches stretches all the way back to the precision nautical instruments used by seafarers to discover the world. A traditional line like this needs a chronograph with a scale calibrated to an accuracy of a quarter of a second. The elegant design and moderate height of the case have made the Portuguese Chronograph one of the most sought-after Portuguese models of them all. Everything is integrated harmoniously on the clearly organized dial: the recessed totalizers, the embossed Arabic numerals and the perfectly proportioned feuille hands for hours and minutes. The chronographs in cases with the warm appeal of 18-carat red gold exude a distinctive luxury. The slate-coloured dial with its shimmering sun-pattern finish is in discreet contrast to the deep black counters, whilst the blued hands for times recorded by the stopwatch provide a colourful highlight to the silver-plated dial.
With its Roman numerals and moon phase display, the Portofino Hand-Wound has the same timeless elegance as the historic original. Improvements made ...

I don't have words to describe this beauty
fantastico !!! mi arriva domani...
I own this beauty and it worth every penny. I wish they sell it with a folding buckle which I had to buy separately.
Does the folding clasp from the Portuguese automatic fit it, or do you need to buy a new strap too? I believe the clasp is about $500US and the strap $380-quite a lot for a feature that should already be on such an expensive watch
L'orologio più elegante del mondo !
Excuse me, I just want to purchase the Reference 371476 which sets with precious stones.
I OWN THE 3714 WITH THE BLUE HANDS AND MARKERS AND IT'S ONE OF THE MOST ELEGANT AND CLASSIC WATCHES AVAILABLE BY ANY BRAND. IT'S ALSO VERY ACCURATE, AT ABOUT 3 SECONDS/DAY, WHICH ALSO MAKES IT A CHRONOMETER-GRADE CHRONOGRAPH.
someone who can tell me, how much is this beauty( IW371438) in Euro(SWISS? or USA
I´am with Erkan_1982!
how is the back view of this watch??!!!
whats the price?
The most beuatiful watch in world.... As Cancer Leukemia survivior....
One day I will Own myself One... the pleasure to look de Art and craftman of this watch is very pure Hope and joy.. Great Video about History Navigation.
Thank you

I've priced this watch in Ireland (€5825) and in England (£5250). The back of the watch is stanless steel too which is a pity.
I wonder why this is the ONLY Portuguese were the movement is NOT shown, hmmm wonder why. Shame to be ashamed on a valjoux and shame that its used in a 4000 plus watch..
Dear Milton
You can use the Portuguese Automatic folding clasp on Portuguese Chono. And there is no need to buy a new strap. It simply will fit.
Cheers
I have that one but i want to change the strap for a folding buckle one.... does anyone know which one i should go for? and the reference please... thank you. its such a beautiful watch...
One day I'll have one of these!
Picked up my 371480 yesterday. Can't stop looking at it. :-)

My watch. And I just LOVE IT!!!
An image of beauty and perfection.
A great watch to start my IWC collection with!
Recently got this watch as my 30th badly present from my wife. Love it!!
Beautiful watch ... but, the words IWC Schaffhausen should be centered on the 3 o'clock hour marker just as the words Chronograph Automatic are centered on the 9 o'clock hour marker.
Beauty it is
Just bought a steel with a black alligator strap. It came standard with a folding clasp. Is this new for 2012?
Dear "Big_B",
the folding clasp is a new standard for the Portuguese Chronograph since end of 2011.
Please enjoy this beautiful masterpiece.
Best wishes from Schaffhausen

Just bought Portogeuse Blue Chrono yesterday! Been eying it for a while and absolutely love it love love it! I wore it with jeans casual and tomorrow with suit. There is no watch like this.
good news is new series coming with folding clasp but is there anyway it also comes with sahire glass back to see the back of watch? and if not can replace the back with other model with glass back plat to see the back ?
I Got mine last week and all I have to say is: SUPER
I'm generally not the fan of chronograph watches, but the beauty of this piece is overwhelming!
i STARTED FALL IN LOVE WITH iwc
Could someone at IWC in Schaffhausen confirm if the Calibre 79350 is still the Valjoux 7750? And if it is, is it modified by ETA or by IWC and what the modification specifically means. If it is the Valjoux, like I have reason to believe, is it still fabricated in Vallee des Joux by ETA Valjoux SA at Les Bioux?
Dear Juhaparikka,
Calibre 79350 is based on the 7750 ETA movement. There are several changes and differences which can be seen in comparison to the Aquatimer or Pilot`s Chronograph. Day and date are removed as well as the 12 hour counter and the small second is moved from 9 to the 6 o`clock position.
Ever since ETA’s strategic medium-term decision to discontinue the supply of ébauches (i.e. movement kits) and to make only fully assembled movements, we have been in a period of transition. As a result, since 2007, we have been using ETA’s fully assembled movements, manufactured to our standards and specifications, as well as our own calibers, assembled in our workshops and based on the Valjoux 7750 ébauche. The number of ébauches supplied has been decreasing steadily since then, and deliveries were ceased altogether at the beginning of 2011. From now on, ETA will supply us only with fully assembled movements. However, since ETA has already integrated all the modifications required by IWC into its production processes, these complete movements also feature all the latest developments and comply with IWC’s high quality standards. Regardless of whether the ébauche is assembled by IWC or ETA supplies a fully assembled movement, every single one of them is subjected to IWC’s comprehensive and exacting testing procedures.
We regard an IWC watch as an all-round work of art. Together with the movement, the form and the design, selected exclusive materials and outstanding ease of use combine to ensure that our timepieces represent a precision product of the highest quality across all price categories.
With best wishes from Schaffhausen
Even though IW371480 shows to have the 18-carat red gold case, it doesn't have the same shade of red gold as the IW500113 (which appears to be a darker shade), correct? Of all the IW371480s that I have seen at authorized dealers and IWC boutique shops, they all seem to be more of a lighter shade rose-gold, than red-gold. If it is correct, will the darker shade red gold be available on the chronograph?
I've owned this watch for almost two years without any problems. I wore it tonight and came home to find that the stopwatch has stopped, is stuck, and will not reset. It's quite upsetting considering how expensive it is and that I've worn the watch less than 20 times over 2 years! I'm planning on taking this back to the retail store it was purchased from, and I'm planning on not paying for this repair!!
Dear Mr. Djkhoi
we are sorry to hear of your issue. Please visit one of our boutiques or an authorized IWC retailer. The friendly staff will be pleased to give due consideration as each request is handled personally.

Pulled the trigger on a 3714-45. Changed out the black croc strap for a deep blue to bring out the 'blued' minute counter and 'seconds hands. AWESOME !! This is one of the best looking semi-dress/sport watches available....anywhere. 100% enjoyment guarenteed.
