This gives me hope to see a ref. 3714 with 89361 inside.

No Paul, it's three strikes you're out! Ask the Rangers LOL
I agree with you about a 3714/98361 combination: who knows. The dressy Portofino Chrono shows the potential of a modern dressy chronograph. One step up and, well, let's hope.
About the "in": I guessed someone might react. I knew about the "out" but modified the saying to express my feeling that titanium definitely is back to IWC, which is so great, giving sporty watches that extra touch, along with it being tough and light.
Kind regards, Paul
Hi Paul,
it was just a silly joke of mine :)
I agree with you, it's great to have titanium back in the Portuguese line too.
Am I wrong if I say this is the first titanium Portuguese ever produced?

Ooooh, one of the coolest large-diameter Portuguese watches i've seen. Hope it will look as good as on these pictures in real life :) I googled that the reference is IW390212 and price about 13k Euros... not cheap ;) SHING, it's not a limited edition but "only" a special edition watch.

Bought the 'standard' Yacht Club Chrono with silver dial only a month ago, this new model makes me wish that I waited a just bit longer:-) Carbon fiber, matte finish and Titanium - this version is tough looking! Great that IWC is moving more in the direction of durable tool watches - even with the Portuguese - suits the group fine.
I absolutely adore this watch. Even more so i love the folding clasp. If i remember correctly this was also featured on the Siderale Scafusia (perhaps for that watch in different materia) but not on other watches featuring a folding clasp like a Portuguese 7 days. Is this the new IWC style of making these clasps?

I agree! The Ti, 6 bar water resistance, carbon dial, rubber strap, deployment clasp, etc etc etc. make this a great "sports" watch. not only does it look great, but it is also wearable in just about all conditions.
Why do IWC have to make things so difficult for us - I have been mulling over my next watch purchase for the last few months and ideally want something that I can swim in, meaning it needs either a metal or rubber strap kind of "limiting" (I wouldn't really call the range limiting, but you know what I mean) me to the Aqautimers and some of the pilots and as I already own 2 Pilots I have kind of ruled out another Pilot purchase for the meanwhile so have been looking for a good condition Aquatimer GST 3536, considered the Aquatimer 3769 and the current Aquatimer 2000 but this new Yacht Club will go sensationally with my Portuguese 5001! I am not a diver (I dont even snorkel) so except for the aesthetics a divers watch would be lost on me. The Yacht Club bridges the gap nicely. Great job IWC, I think I may have just found my Christmas pressy to myself - next job is to try and get one in Australia as we tend to have a bit of difficulty with access to these limited editions . . . .
Cheers,
Ben

Ouch! That's still a sore spot around this neck of the woods! :>)) This is one of the most impressive sports watches I've seen. I think IWC hit all the right 'notes' on this special edition!

If IWC ever make the Deep Two in Titanium, I will wait outside the Boutique till they open for business and buy one.
