IWC Portugieser Chronograph Year of the Dragon

IWC Schaffhausen welcomes the Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon with a special edition timepiece which is limited to 1000 pieces. Featuring an ergonomic 41-millimetre stainless steel case with beautiful finishing, the Portugieser Chronograph impresses with a striking burgundy dial and gold-plated hands and appliques. Burgundy is a charming shade of red, symbolizing the vibrant color of fire, which is traditionally used to welcome the New Year in China. Red symbolizes longevity, happiness, success, and luck. The chronograph allows for precise measurements of up to 30 minutes and displays the stopped minutes in a totalizer at 12 o’clock position for easy legibility. A glance at the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre through the sapphire glass case back reveals the true highlight of this special edition: the gold-plated oscillating weight in the form of a dragon. Efficiently converting the movements on the wearer’s arm into energy for the mainspring, the automatic winding system builds up a power reserve of 46 hours. The case back ring features an engraving of “2024 YEAR OF THE DRAGON”. This special edition is delivered with two straps: one black calfskin strap and one burgundy rubber strap, allowing the wearer to choose between two different looks. An ergonomic butterfly folding clasp ensures excellent wearing comfort on the wrist.
