IWC Portugieser Automatic Black Dial Black Leather Strap Watch 42mm - IW500703

From IWC, the origins of the Portugieser date back to the late 1930s, when IWC Schaffhausen used a high-precision pocket watch movement to create a distinctively large wristwatch with chronometer precision. First introduced in 2000, the Portugieser Automatic 42 features an open, balanced dial, with a power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock and the small seconds positioned on the opposite side at 9 o’clock. This version features a stainless steel case with a diameter of 42.3 millimeters, a black dial, and rhodium-plated hands and appliques. The watch appears elegant and refined thanks to a thoroughly reworked case construction with a thinner casing ring and box-glass sapphire crystals on the front and the back. The Portugieser Automatic 42 is powered by the IWC-manufactured 52010 caliber. The Pellaton winding system is reinforced with virtually wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic components and builds up a power reserve of seven days (168 hours) in two barrels. The watch is fitted with a black alligator leather strap with a stainless steel folding clasp.
