The simple, exquisitely executed railway-track-style chapter ring, the appliqu\u00e9d Arabic numerals, the slender feuille hands: for three-quarters of a century, these have been the design cues that have made the Portuguese\u00a0unmistakable. The guilloch\u00e9 subdials for the small seconds on the left and the power reserve display on the right are the same colour as the dial and as unobtrusive as the date display at \u201c6 o\u2019clock\u201d.

Nevertheless, the design engineers in Schaffhausen have succeeded in further improving the 50000-calibre family and produced a worthy successor in the form of the in-house 52000-calibre family. The main difference: thanks to its ceramic components, the self-winding mechanism is practically wear-free. With two barrels instead of just one, the IWC-manufactured 52010 movement now has a 7-day power reserve. There is certainly plenty of room for it in the 42.3-millimetre case. The legendary bidirectional Pellaton winding system has been further improved: the pawls, automatic wheel and rotor bearing are now made of ceramic, giving the mechanism a special status in modern watchmaking technology. The white- or black-coloured zirconium oxide reduces abrasion to virtually zero. But that is not all. The indexless balance has an increased frequency of 4 hertz (28,800 beats per hour). Combined with the Breguet spring, bent into shape using traditional techniques, this guarantees even greater precision. <br \/><br \/><strong>A PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE NEW MOVEMENT <\/strong><br \/><br \/> The sapphire glass, which extends over nearly the entire back of the watch, provides a generous view of the 52010 calibre. In the course of overhauling the movement, IWC\u2019s design engineers slimmed down the skeletonized rotor and modified\u00ad the\u00ad proportions\u00ad of\u00ad the\u00ad golden\u00ad \u201cProbus\u00ad Scafusia\u201d\u00ad medallion. As a result, it is easier to view the watch\u2019s intern- <br \/> al workings (the screw balance, new barrels and ceramic components), the bridges decorated with Geneva stripes and circular graining and the polished screws. From the rear of the watch, the lightly curved lugs and the strap horns shaped to fit the case are clearly recognizable. These make the watch more comfortable to wear, even on a slimmer wrist. As you would expect, the workmanship on the case is superb. The polished lugs, the bezel and the case back encircling the transparent back cover all gleam sumptuously\u00ad while\u00ad the\u00ad sides\u00ad of\u00ad the\u00ad case\u00ad are\u00ad satin-finished. <br \/><br \/>The Portuguese Automatic is water-resistant to 3 bar and available in two 18-carat red gold and three stainless-steel versions.

CUTTING-EDGE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY FOR AN ICON
PORTUGUESE AUTOMATIC
Hardly any other watch from Schaffhausen is as well known as the Portuguese Automatic: thanks to its iconic design and 7-day power reserve it has come to epitomize the Portuguese line. To mark the watch family’s 75th anniversary in 2015, the Portuguese Automatic has been equipped with the newly developed IWC-manufactured 52010 calibre and optimized strap horns. The dial, which is famous for its balanced design, remains unchanged.
The Portuguese Automatic (Ref. 5007) is a modern icon of haute horlogerie. The classic design retains the appeal of the legendary original Portuguese of the 1930s and, in terms of discretion, balance and elegance, would be difficult to surpass. The simple, exquisitely executed railway-track-style chapter ring, the appliquéd Arabic numerals, the slender feuille hands: for three-quarters of a century, these have been the design cues that have made the Portuguese unmistakable. The guilloché subdials for the small seconds on the left and the power reserve display on the right are the same colour as the dial and as unobtrusive as the date display at “6 o’clock”. They blend harmoniously, without detracting from the clarity and symmetry of the dial.
