Meet IWC Portugieser (ref. IW3712-01), a contemporary classic shaped by careful watchmaking know-how. The exterior is thoughtfully executed: crafted in stainless steel and measuring 40.9 mm in diameter, with a thickness of 12.3 mm. The caseback is closed, and the crystal is sapphire, delivering water resistance to 3000 meters. At a glance, the dial balances texture and clarity: a silver tone, framed by arabic numerals hour markers, and feuille hands. At its heart beats a proven engine: the 76240 caliber. Initial production year: 19952004. 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.
