Portugieser Automatic
The Portugieser Automatic (Ref. IW500710) is driven by the IWC-manufactured 52010 calibre. The Pellaton auto- matic winding system is adorned with ceramic compo- nents and generates a 7-day power reserve in two barrels. A display at “3 o’clock” indicates the energy remaining at any given time. The small seconds subdial is positioned at “9 o’clock”. The stainless-steel case and the rhodium- plated hands provide a winning contrast to the deep blue of the dial.
