THE IWC PORTUGIESER CHRONOGRAPH CLASSIC BUCHERER BLUE EDITIONS – FOR SEAFARERS AND WATCH ENTHUSIASTS LOOKING FOR AN EXCLUSIVE STYLE ICON

Lucerne, June 2018 – Bucherer is proud to announce the launch of the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS in red gold, limited to 88 watches. Bucherer’s legendary BLUE EDITIONS collection was created in honour of the colour blue, and, with this latest model, now comprises 18 exclusive timepieces and one motorbike par excellence.

The long and illustrious history of the IWC Portugieser watch family dates back to the nautical instruments used by the seafarers and explorers of old. It seems more than fitting that this classic line should include a nautically inspired, ocean blue precision chronograph.

The Schaffhausen watch manufacturer therefore created the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS, a watch that features a stunning combination of a blue dial with the warmth of a red gold case.

The shimmering dial with its sun -pattern finish creates a subtle contrast with the red gold counters and hands, which at once add a striking touch of lustrous colour and yet harmonise perfectly with the rest of the watch.

The 89361 manufacture calibre with flyback function indicates the measured hours and minutes together on a subdial at 12 o'clock, while the quarter-second scale that surrounds the dial allows for precise measurement of shorter time periods. The transparent case-back in sapphire crystal offersan unimpeded view of the mechanical inner workings of this sporty chronograph.

About the Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS

The Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS watch collection comprises 18 exclusive timepieces that
Bucherer created in cooperation with 11 renowned watch manufacturers.

For 130 years, Bucherer has offered its customers a large selection of outstanding timepieces
from first-class watchmakers. Its unique relations with the most distinguished brands in the
industry are the fruit of many years of continuous collaboration, rooted in know-how, mutual
respect and exceptional technical expertise. These rare partnerships produced the 17 men’s
and ladies’ watches from the exclusive Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS collection, which Bucherer
developed jointly with the watchmakers Audemars Piguet, Baume & Mercier, Carl F. Bucherer,
Chopard, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Longines, H. Moser & Cie., Panerai, Piaget and Tudor. The
central theme of the collection is the colour blue. For countless artists over the centuries, blue
has been a source of inspiration, reminding us of the sky and sea, and of the blue blood of the
nobility. It has also become a symbol of the company Bucherer, and hence an identifying
feature of the Bucherer brand.
