Woo! I love this new Portuguese from IWC.
Beautiful thicker 45.5mm Case, with 14.5mm Thickness. Sapphire Crystals front and back, with a 60m Water Resistance. The sapphire back gives a beautiful view of the IWC Caliber 89360 with pellaton winding system, and finally a Date on the Portuguese! Only thing I’m not sure about is the Rubber strap, red second hand and Yacht Club written on the dial.
The IWC caliber 89360 is designed completely in-house with 40 jewels and a 68 hour power reserve. The Caliber 89360 puts the hours and seconds counters for the chronograph on a single subdial at 12 o’clock for easier reading. Date is at 3 o’clock

LOVE it! I love everything except the “Yacht Club” on the 6 o’clock sub-dial.
Is there an MSRP for this yet?

Beautiful Watch but what were they thinking with the yacht club writing … its a great looking Watch, but the Yacht Club writing hurts the watch for me. It wasnt necessary.

Interesting… I have read complaints about the “yacht-club” on the subdial; but how many of Rolex’ popular, highly rated and timeless classics go without a title? 0. You can barely see the “yacht club” anyway. The only one who’s going to notice it is the owner. Great watch. I’ve had mine for almost a year now and it is my favorite!
