The IWC Portuguese Automatic 40 IW358303 showcases the timeless elegance of the Portugieser collection, first introduced in the late 1930s. It features a sleek 40.4mm stainless steel case with a silver dial adorned by a railroad-style minute scale and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, both hallmark design elements of the series. The watch’s refined look is enhanced by leaf-shaped hands and applied Arabic numeral indices.|||Powered by the in-house Caliber 82200 automatic movement, it offers a 60-hour power reserve and incorporates a Pellaton winding system with ceramic components for enhanced durability. The see-through caseback reveals the intricate mechanics, adding to its allure as a mechanical timepiece. Sold in June 2020, this model has undergone maintenance by the manufacturer and exterior finishing at the retailer, although minor scratches are present on the glass coating. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a classic, understated, and mechanically advanced watch.
