Portugieser Automatic 42.3mm IW500710 exemplifies IWC Schaffhausen’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, mechanical innovation, and timeless elegance. As one of the flagship models in the Portugieser collection, the IW500710 is defined by its large case size, exceptional power reserve, and deep blue dial—making it a standout piece for discerning collectors and modern professionals alike.

The 42.3mm stainless steel case offers bold wrist presence without compromising on comfort or elegance. Its polished finish reflects IWC’s attention to detail, while the domed sapphire crystal and slim bezel enhance the spacious feel of the dial. This watch captures the essence of the Portugieser line: nautical inspiration, functional clarity, and impeccable proportions.

The sunburst blue dial is both vibrant and sophisticated, offering dynamic reflections that shift with the light. Applied silver-tone Arabic numerals and leaf-shaped hands add refined contrast and exceptional legibility. A small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock balances the power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock, providing not just visual harmony but critical functionality. The elongated minute track pays tribute to IWC’s marine chronometer roots, enhancing the technical look of the watch.

Powering the IW500710 is the IWC-manufactured Calibre 52010, an automatic movement engineered for endurance and precision. The twin barrel system delivers an impressive 7-day (168-hour) power reserve, ensuring the watch runs reliably for an entire week when fully wound. The movement includes IWC’s renowned Pellaton winding system, made with wear-resistant ceramic components for long-term durability.

A see-through sapphire case back reveals the beautifully finished movement, complete with Geneva stripes, perlage, and a skeletonized rotor adorned with the IWC medallion. It’s not only a mechanical marvel but also a visual delight for any watch enthusiast.

The timepiece is paired with a black alligator leather strap from Santoni, known for its supple feel and hand-finished patina. It fastens securely with a stainless steel folding clasp, adding both comfort and confidence for daily wear. This high-end strap enhances the luxurious aesthetic of the watch while ensuring long-lasting wearability.

With a water resistance of 30 meters (3 bar), the Portugieser Automatic 42.3mm IW500710 is built for everyday sophistication rather than rugged environments. It fits perfectly under a shirt cuff, making it an ideal companion for business, formal occasions, or refined casual wear.

This model is especially suited for collectors and professionals who value heritage watchmaking with modern convenience. Its 7-day power reserve is a rare technical achievement in dress watches and speaks to IWC’s legacy of innovation and reliability.
