With the Portugieser Chronograph, IWC established the sportier design of the Portugieser family more than 20 years ago. With a clear, open dial featuring two slightly recessed counters at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock and a flange with a printed quarter-second scale, this timeless and modern chronograph has become one of IWC's most popular models.

 For the first time, this iconic IWC model is available on a stainless steel bracelet. The bracelet is beautifully and meticulously finished with polished and satin-brushed finishes, and the ergonomic butterfly folding clasp ensures a perfect fit on the wrist, ensuring exceptional comfort.
