Burgundy symbolizes the color of fire
29 January 2025 marks the beginning of the Year of the Wood Snake – a combination that will occur in the Chinese calendar for the first time since 1965. People born under this zodiac sign are considered wise, clever and courageous. Freestyle skier and IWC brand ambassador Eileen Gu perfectly represents this special edition that captivates with its striking burgundy dial. This unique shade of red symbolizes the vibrant color of fire, which is typically used to welcome the Lunar New Year in China.

Powerful and Elegant
The Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 Year of the Snake is powered by the IWC-manufactured 32800 caliber with automatic winding and a power reserve of five days. A special highlight is hidden on the back: the gold-plated oscillating mass is crafted in the shape of a snake, a nod to the Lunar New Year. For added versatility, the Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 comes with two straps. One is crafted from black calfskin and one from burgundy calfskin, while both feature a butterfly clasp.
