IWC IW371605 Portugieser Chronograph SS Silver Dial

Introduced in 2020 as part of the reworked Reference 3716 series, the IW371605 represents a significant update to one of IWC's most recognizable modern chronographs. Its stainless steel case frames the classic Portugieser layout with a silver-plated dial, applied Arabic numerals, feuille hands, and the signature vertical register display that has defined the model since 1998. This reference is distinguished by blue hands and appliques paired with a blue alligator leather strap, giving the watch a sharper and more contemporary character than the black-strap silver-dial variants. Power comes from the IWC-manufactured caliber 69355, an automatic column-wheel chronograph movement with a 46-hour power reserve and a sapphire display back that finally reveals the mechanics of the model to the wearer. The 69355 is valued for its robust architecture, precise switching feel, and practical long-term serviceability, all qualities serious buyers expect from IWC's modern in-house chronograph family. At 41 mm, the case preserves the Portugieser's balanced proportions and thin bezel, allowing the dial to dominate in the clean, open manner collectors associate with the line. The watch is not a limited edition and was not produced for a specific country or boutique, which reinforces its role as a core catalog reference rather than a market-specific release. Within the broader Portugieser collection, the IW371605 stands out as an especially pure expression of the model's dress-sport identity, combining maritime-inspired restraint with genuine mechanical substance. For collectors seeking a modern Portugieser Chronograph with in-house movement, display back, and one of the most versatile dial configurations in the range, this reference remains a highly relevant choice.
