Unmistakeable design

The Portugieser Automatic offers timelessly modern Portugieser design with a compact diameter

Featuring the classic design codes of the original Portugieser Ref. 325 from 1939

A clearly structured open dial with a small seconds at “6 o’clock” but with no date display: in the Reference 325, unveiled in the 1930s, IWC established a stylistic idiom that runs like a thread through the history of the Portugieser family. The selfsame design cues are found virtually unchanged later in the Portugieser anniversary edition, the Portugieser Minute Repeater, the Portugieser F.A. Jones Limited Edition and the Portugieser Hand-Wound Eight Days.

Now this classic, timelessly modern dial design celebrates its return to the collection in a new automatic model with a compact 40-millimetre diameter. Ticking away inside the Portugieser Automatic 40 is the IWC manufactured 82200 calibre. Featuring components made of virtually wear-free ceramic, the Pellaton winding system reliably builds up a 60-hour power reserve. Models are available in either stainless steel or 18-carat 5N gold.
