IWC Portofino

Overall Condition: Excellent condition overall. Case shows only faint signs of wear from gentle handling. Dial and handset are in excellent condition. Factory strap and deployant only show light wear.

The Portofino line has long been an overlooked corner of the IWC catalog.

Inspired by classic 1960s models, modern Portofino watches combine tried-and-true characteristics of favorite mid-century timepieces with excellent modern movements, handsome dial designs, and a wide array of strap choices. Their chronographs in particular provide a welcome, dressier alternative to the popular, sportier choices prevalent in today’s market.

The particular IWC Portofino we have here is a beautiful contemporary reference. Housed in a 39mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished bezel, it features a satin black dial with applied indices, a matching ‘feuille’ handset, and a date display at 3 o'clock.

Powered by the IWC's Caliber 30110 automatic winding movement, it comes paired to a signed black leather strap with a signed steel deployant clasp.

The Portofino line is an excellent option if you are looking for a dressier option from IWC — and if the chronograph isn't your cup of tea, this simpler time & date variant may just be the thing for you.

Furthermore, simply swap out the strap for something in a more casual leather, and you've got a piece that make for an easy-wearing everyday experience.

Either way, you can’t go wrong!
