IWC Portuguese Automatic Watch

IWC Portuguese Automatic watch is one of those timepieces that perfectly illustrate the refined art of watch-making.

How did the nick "Portuguese" stick to IWC watches? The story is quite interesting. Everything started in 1936 when two traders from Portugal visited Schaffhausen with a special aim. They wanted to order a wristwatch that would unite the characteristics of an on-board chronometer and represent an imposing timepiece, even more special for its outstanding accuracy. The IWC was ready to satisfy the traders' needs. The company's watchmakers relied on its 74 Caliber pocket watch, as well as later, more sophisticated one, the caliber 98.

No wonder the IWC workers started to call the watches produced for the traders "Portuguese." This simple way the nick appeared and a myth was born.

The new Portuguese Automatic watch has been based upon the spirit of the watch that was created back in 1936. It features a classically-styled face with the tradition-forward slim hands, Arab numerals and railway-like minute display.

Due to the sapphire back you are able to drop a look at the magnificent caliber IWC 50010 movement. In fact, the caliber 50010 represents one of the largest automatic movements worldwide that was initially introduced by the brand with the notable Portuguese Automatic watches of 2000 limited edition.

Developed with the diameter of almost 40mm and the balance wheel with frequency of 18,000 oscillations per hour, the caliber 50010 keeps to the best traditions of wristwatch movements. The timepiece is provided with the 7-day power reserve indicator, taking care of the watch's prolonged precision.

The steel Portuguese Automatic, also available in platinum and pink gold, is clearly 100% IWC production, proved by the prestigious gold “Probus Scafusa” hallmark featured on the balance wheel and the winding crown.

Having united special elegance and sobriety, Portuguese Automatic has a steel case with 42 mm in diameter, characterized by perfect matt and brilliant polished finish and an exceptional mechanism. Pay your meticulous attention to the dial with blue numerals and hands.

Every watch owner will no doubt be greatly satisfied by the majestic crocodile bracelet equipped with massive yet highly practical folding clasp.

It is functional and refined at the same times no matter when and where you choose to wear it.
