This unique colorway adds a fresh dimension to the iconic Portugieser line, appealing to both traditionalists and contemporary watch enthusiasts.
Distinctive Dial Design
The Dune dial is adorned with gold-plated hands and appliques, creating a harmonious contrast against the beige backdrop. The dial’s sunburst finish catches the light beautifully, enhancing its visual depth. Vertically aligned sub-dials at 12 and 6 o’clock provide a balanced aesthetic and facilitate easy readability. The inner flange features a quarter-second scale, allowing for precise time measurements—a nod to the watch’s chronograph capabilities.

With a power reserve of approximately 46 hours and operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement exemplifies IWC’s commitment to technical excellence. The transparent sapphire case back offers a glimpse into the intricate mechanics, showcasing the brand’s meticulous craftsmanship.
