IWC Portugieser Automatic IW500109

This gorgeous Portuguese Automatic has many excellent qualities, but perhaps the most interesting is the movement's power reserve. It's not just the impressive length of stored power, but also the technical ingenuity employed to go above and beyond the call of duty. The watch is engineered to come to an automatic stop after seven days, despite the fact that the actual power reserve is more like eight days. Why? This avoids relying on the last part of the mainspring's stored power, which would entail diminished torque and potential problems with consistent accuracy. When coupled with the Portuguese's handsome appearance and prestigious history, this watch is a very enticing offer indeed.

This IWC has undergone a thorough inspection of accuracy, functionality and condition at our IWC certified service centre to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been checked against our records to ensure authenticity. All our watches have a 24-month warranty for your peace of mind.
