The IWC Portugieser (ref. IW358304) distills nearly a century of minimalist elegance into a wearable 40mm format, pairing a stainless steel case with a crisp silver dial. This model revives the simplicity and balance of the original ref. 325 from the 1930s while incorporating modern performance under the surface.

At just 12.4mm thick, the case rests comfortably on the wrist, framing a symmetrical dial with Arabic numerals, leaf hands, and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock – all signature elements of the Portugieser design code. Inside, the in-house calibre 82200 features Pellaton winding with ceramic components, offering a 60-hour power reserve. The display caseback reveals its refined finishing and efficient automatic architecture. Water-resistance is rated to 30m.

Compact by Portugieser standards, the IW358304 broadens the appeal of IWC’s storied line with proportions suited to everyday wear, while staying true to the collection’s dress-chronometer roots.
