IWC Schaffhausen launches three new versions of the Portugieser Chronograph at Watches and Wonders Geneva. The new dial colours, Horizon blue, Obsidian, and Dune, are inspired by the never-ending cycle of day and night. The first watch features a Horizon blue dial in combination with an 18-carat white gold case and a blue calfskin strap. The second boasts an Obsidian dial, an 18-carat 5N gold case, and a black alligator leather strap from Santoni. The third impresses with a Dune coloured dial, a stainless steel case, and a black alligator leather strap. The models are powered by the IWCmanufactured 69355 calibre, a robust mechanical chronograph movement in classic column-wheel design.
The price for the steel version is CHF 8,700, while the gold one will cost you CHF 19,000.
