IWC Portugieser Automatic 42The origins of the Portugieser date back to the late 1930s, when IWC Schaffhausen used a high precision pocket watch movement to create a large wristwatch with chronometric accuracy. First introduced in 2000, the Portugieser Automatic 42 is distinguished by its clean and well balanced dial, featuring a power reserve indicator at 3 oclock and a small seconds subdial opposite it, at 9 oclock.
