Chronograph IWC Portuguese
Portuguese from IWC is one of the most recognizable classics in the line of IWC watches, having changed very little from generation to generation, although new variations have emerged as the FA Jones, the 5000 series 7 days with the Portuguese system Pellaton winding, and the new Portuguese regulator. The chrono-Portuguese is probably the most commonly – the change to the IWC, and also the model of input level.

Here is one I have a case of steel, with the dial and gold hands and Arabic opaline. The hands are blued steel chronograph to differentiate from that time show. The movement is a modified Valjoux 7750 IWC that is the caliber 79350. The date wheel has been removed, and the subdial seconds moved from position 9 hours to the position of 6 hours. The movement is also the gold-colored version of the Valjoux 7750 as you can see below.

The dial is a beautiful piece of work, with guilloche subdials of writing and finely painted, and the case of three-piece is very well worked. The frame is polished stainless steel with a sapphire Crystall arched, and the case and the caseback are mostly stainless swept. Crocodile belt that came with it is the thin side, but still quite useful. The only thing that shows is missing is a date, but the dial probably suffer from the addition of a window of time.

A shot back:

The case is 41mm in diameter, almost the same size as the Breitling Navitimer, and it bears very similarly as well. The model of the watch is suitable for slightly older consumer because it is less sports and more traditional. In general, a perfect piece with tons of history and design. The port of the IWC mark indicates those around you that you are a watch aficionado, not just a casual wearer.

Diameter: 41.5mm
Case: stainless steel 3-Piece
