Brand history

IWC Schaffhausen is a brand with over 150 years of tradition – combining Swiss precision with engineering vision since 1868. In the 1930s, the company became famous for its "Pilot's Watch" aviation watches, and over time, it expanded its portfolio to include elegant, timeless models. The Portofino line was born as a tribute to the Italian "dolce vita" style – simple elegance, subtle details, and comfort for everyday wear or special occasions.

Model description

The Portofino Chronograph IW391031 is both interior and style in one—a clean, stainless steel case, a classic dial, and a chronograph function that adds character without detracting from its elegance. The watch looks good with both a suit and a shirt in the city—the perfect balance between elegance and function.

Characteristics

The stainless steel case has a subtle 42mm diameter, creating an elegant yet presentable size on the wrist. The slim lines and thin bezel make the watch comfortable under a shirt cuff. The entire watch is covered with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal , ensuring readability in all conditions.

The dial is classic in style: well-laid out, with two chronograph subdials and a simple date, providing maximum functionality with minimal clutter. The hands and indices are meticulously crafted to give the watch a luxurious yet understated look.

Powering the watch is the proven IWC Calibre 75320 automatic movement , renowned for its reliability, precision, and comfort. It offers a power reserve of approximately 44–46 hours , typical for this class, making it a practical choice for everyday wear.

A steel bracelet or leather strap (depending on the version), an elegant case and chronograph functionality combine to create a watch that can be both a discreet accessory and a distinctive style statement.

The Portofino Chronograph is also water-resistant to 30-60m (depending on the version), making it safe for everyday situations – from rain to contact with water.
