Iwc Schaffhausen

Men's Blue Portugieser Automatic Watch .4mm

IWC Schaffhausen demonstrates first-hand what makes a timepiece iconic with its Portugieser Automatic 40 watch. The elegantly athletic model is more than a sought-after design, it forms part of one of the Swiss brand's most prestigious collections, which had its start in the 1930s. The story goes that IWC was approached by two Portuguese businessmen requesting a wristwatch with the same precision as marine chronometers and, as a result, the first Portugieser was born. Today, the style remains one of horology's finest and you can analyse its legendary, robust movement at work thanks to the sapphire-glass case back of this modern rendition.
