Portugieser Automatic 42

The IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 is a testament to timeless elegance and precision engineering. This sophisticated timepiece features a generously sized 42.4mm stainless steel case, offering a commanding presence on the wrist while maintaining the collection's classic proportions. The clean, silvered dial exemplifies the Portugieser line's signature aesthetic, with applied Arabic numerals and blued slim feuille hands ensuring excellent legibility. A small seconds subdial at nine and a power reserve indicator at three o'clock add both functionality and visual balance to the face. At the heart of this watch beats the IWC-manufactured 52011 calibre, a self-winding movement visible through the sapphire caseback. This robust mechanism boasts an impressive seven-day power reserve, thanks to its Pellaton winding system with ceramic components. Water-resistant to 50m, the Portugieser Automatic 42 is fitted with a handsome blue alligator leather strap, secured by a stainless steel folding clasp.
