The IWC Portugieser origin dates back to the end of the 1930s when two Portuguese businessmen visited The International Watch Company headquarter in Schaffhausen proposing a development of a large stainless steel wristwatch housing a high precision movement. The outcome was a 43mm wristwatch, extremely large especially during the time when most watches are under 33mm, it has thin bezel, Arabic numerals and a large sub-second at 6.
It was relaunched in 1993 for the 125th anniversary of IWC with the Jubilee edition powered by the Cal. 9828. With the success of the line more model are introduced with different complications integrated to the design.
In 2003, IWC introduced the Portuguese Perpetual Calendar featuring the infamous Perpetual Calendar movement that has been around since the 1980s, invented by Kurt Klaus, a former head watchmaker in IWC. It is known for the total synchronization and the ease of use. The calendar is all synchronized and can easily be adjusted by Turing the crown.
This variant in 18K White Gold measures large at 44mm in diameter with 15mm thickness. It has a sunburst grey dial with a highly legible and balanced layout. The moon phase indicator is placed at 12, date and power reserve indicator at 3, month indicator at 6 and day with the running second at 9. It also indicates the year with a window between 7 and 8.
The IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar is powered by the Cal. 51613 Self-Winding movement with a 7 day power reserve.
