From IWC, presenting the Portugieser (ref. IW5043-03), a contemporary classic shaped by careful watchmaking know-how. The exterior is thoughtfully executed: crafted in white gold and measuring 44.2 mm in diameter, with a thickness of 14.2 mm, defined by a round silhouette. The caseback is open, and the crystal is sapphire, delivering water resistance to 3000 meters. At a glance, the dial balances texture and clarity: a skeleton tone, framed by arabic numerals hour markers, and feuille hands. At its heart beats a proven engine: the 50910 caliber. Produced in limited numbers, appealing to focused collectors. Initial production year: 20042004. With considered ergonomics, it feels composed during extended wear. Brushed and polished elements play with light to emphasize crisp geometry. For buyers researching specifications and real-world impressions, this reference stands out for coherent design, dependable mechanics, and lasting relevance within modern horology.
