The Portugieser line is one of IWC’s most popular and important models. It shares this accolade with its sportier counterpart, the Pilot’s watches. The Portugieser is a rather dressy piece, and it has a few design elements that were present in the original models that are still recognizable in the modern variants. Firstly, these watches are “all dial” in the sense that there is close to no bezel. Looking closer into the dial, you’ll notice the delicate leaf hands, stark Arabic numerals, and at least one sub dial. Some combination of these qualities is the formula for the modern Portugieser watches that IWC manufactures today.
