The IWC Portugieser Yacht Club “Moon & Tide” (ref. IW344001) marries nautical precision with IWC’s refined design language in a striking 44mm rose-gold case. The deep blue dial is more than a visual anchor – it houses a sophisticated tide indication and double moonphase complication, underscoring this model’s sailing pedigree.

Powered by the in-house calibre 82835, the watch features a Pellaton winding system and delivers a 60-hour power reserve. The elegant dial balances symmetry with function, displaying the next high and low tides at 6 o'clock, while the double moonphase at 12 o’clock shows spring and neap tides. The robust case is water-resistant to 30m and mounted on an integrated blue rubber and textile strap, lending both comfort and durability suited to deck or dock.

As the first IWC complication dedicated to lunar and tidal cycles, ref. IW344001 stakes a unique claim within the Portugieser line. Its combination of navigational heritage, mechanical innovation, and precious metal case has made it a standout for collectors drawn to complications that serve a genuine purpose at sea.
