Since 1868 Swiss watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has been
creating masterpieces of haute horlogerie that combine precision
engineering with exclusive design. Over the years, their
straightforward, no-nonsense style has appealed to adventurers far and
wide—especially pilots.
Elegant and refined, this Portofino by IWC possesses the style and grace to make bold statements without a lot of fuss.
The black-colored dial showcases a
clean and sleek set of functions. There is a date window at 3; baton
markers on the hour, except at 12 and 6, where you will find classically
styled Roman numerals; and a minute track in white with a dash of
subtle red. Lovely hands guide the eye to the time and there is a center
hacking seconds hand.
The stainless steel case measures 40
mm in diameter, a comfortable 9.2 mm in height, and, speaking of
comfort, rests upon a supremely comfortable Milanese mesh stainless
steel bracelet with a deployant folding clasp that is both a treat to
wear and a conversation piece to boot.
You’ll find IWC’s 35111 caliber in
the engine room, which, as a self-winding automatic watch, beats at
28,800 vph, has 25 jewels, and gives you a 50-hour power reserve.
Additional features include a water resistance down to 30 m / 3 atm, a
closed case back, a push / pull winding crown, and a scratch-resistant
sapphire crystal.
From its cool minimalist stylings to
its reputation for precision, we believe this IWC Portofino dress watch
will make an essential addition to your collection.
Standout feature(s): Fashionable Milanese mesh stainless steel bracelet; convenient 50-hour power reserve; sleek and elegant design.
