{"product_id":"unworn-iwc-portuguese-chronograph-2019","title":"2019 IWC Chronograph Portuguese UNWORN CONDITION","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe unworn IWC Portuguese chronograph is a stunning timepiece that exemplifies the artistry of modern watchmaking. The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Ref. IW371491 is one of the most quietly iconic chronographs in modern watchmaking. It belongs to the legendary 3714 generation — the reference that became IWC's single most successful watch ever produced, running virtually unchanged from its 1998 introduction until 2020. That kind of longevity in a luxury catalog doesn't happen by accident. It happens because a design is so perfectly resolved that no one dares touch it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe origins of the Portugieser trace back to 1939, when two Portuguese businessmen walked into IWC's Schaffhausen manufacture asking for a wristwatch with the precision of a marine chronometer. IWC responded by dropping a pocket watch movement into an oversized case — a radical idea at a time when most men's watches were barely 33mm. This unworn IWC Portuguese chronograph carries on that DNA: the thin bezel that makes the 40.9mm case wear larger and more open than the numbers suggest, the applied Arabic numerals, the elegant feuille hands, and the perfectly balanced bicompax layout with running seconds at six and a 30-minute counter at twelve. The blue sunray dial on this reference is stunning — it shifts between deep navy and electric blue depending on the light, and the snailed sub-dials add a layer of texture that rewards a close look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowered by IWC's Caliber 79350, this is a watch that was never about chasing specs. It's about restraint, proportion, and a design philosophy that proved itself over two decades of continuous production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEY DETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eName:\u003c\/strong\u003e IWC Portugieser Chronograph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e IW371491\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection Generation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ref. 3714 family (produced 1998–2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel (brushed edges, polished bezel ring \u0026amp; lugs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.9mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fixed, polished stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Convex sapphire with anti-reflective coating on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Back:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid, screw-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue with sunray finish, snailed concentric sub-dials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHour Markers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Applied polished Arabic numerals with dot minute markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leaf-shaped (feuille), polished silver-tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e IWC Caliber 79350 (automatic, based on Valjoux 7750)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJewels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28,800 vph (4 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Reserve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 44 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hours, minutes, small seconds (6 o'clock), chronograph with central seconds and 30-minute counter (12 o'clock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 meters \/ 100 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black alligator leather with deployment buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pull\/push\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45158198870095,"sku":"150KV","price":4970.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/1733\/5375\/files\/8c14bbc57164c6cac17fd76581c0a73e.jpg?v=1777568477","url":"https:\/\/kingdomwatchcompany.com\/products\/unworn-iwc-portuguese-chronograph-2019","provider":"Kingdom Watch Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
