From navigation watch to sporty all-rounder
The Portugieser line is deeply rooted in IWC's history. Originally conceived as a precise wristwatch with the accuracy of a marine chronometer, it quickly became a design icon. Large cases, uncluttered dials, and elegant hands define the line's appearance to this day.
With the Yacht Club Chronograph, IWC has given the Portugieser a sporty touch – without abandoning its classic design language. The model brings nautical functionality to the collection and expands it with an option for those who value robustness and versatility.
Technology that plays along
Inside the Yacht Club Chronograph is the IWC-manufactured caliber 89361 – an automatic movement with a 68-hour power reserve, integrated chronograph mechanism, and flyback function. The elapsed time is displayed on a combined hour and minute counter at 12 o'clock.
In addition to its sporty stopwatch function, the watch impresses with its practical everyday suitability: The case is water-resistant to 6 bar, the crown is screwed down, and the movement is shock-resistant. This makes the watch suitable not only for formal occasions, but also for active days—on the water or on land.
Variants that are impressive
The Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph is available in various versions – classic stainless steel or luxurious rose gold. Dials in silver, blue, or anthracite offer visual variety. Depending on the model, the watch is equipped with a stainless steel, textured rubber, or textile strap. The combination of sporty functionality and classic lines makes it a versatile companion – stylish and confident.
