Schaffhausen/Dubai, 10th February 2023: IWC Schaffhausen introduces a new version of the Portugieser Automatic 40 with a stainless steel case and a striking salmon-coloured dial. Introduced to the collection in 2020, the Portugieser Automatic 40 brings back the timeless design of the first Portugieser from the late 1930s in a compact and easily wearable case size of 40 millimetres. This new model is powered by the IWC-manufactured 82200 calibre movement with a 60-hour power reserve.

In the late 1930s, IWC’s Reference 325 established a classic design idiom which has run as a common thread through the history of the Portugieser family ever since. It featuresa clearly organised and open dial, a characteristic minute’s scale, and small seconds at 6 o’clock.

The Portugieser Automatic 40 presents this timeless design in an easily wearable case diameter of 40 millimetres.

The new Portugieser Automatic 40 (Ref. IW358313) features a stainless-steel case as well as rhodium-plated hands and appliqués. However, the most eye-catching detail of this new version is the striking salmon-coloured dial. Thanks to the pared-back Portugieser design and the refined sunray finish, the beautiful colour is displayed in all its glory. The black alligator leather strap with a butterfly folding clasp perfectly matches the dial colour.

This timepiece is powered by the IWC-manufactured 82200 calibre. This robust and precise automatic movement features the winding system developed in the 1950s by IWC’s former Technical Director, Albert Pellaton. Using movements of the rotor in both directions, it efficiently builds up a power reserve of 60 hours. In addition, components like the heart-shaped cam or the clicks are made of virtually wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic.
