IWC IW371624 Portugieser Chronograph SS Dune Dial

The IWC Portugieser Chronograph IW371624 is a 2024 addition to one of the brand's most familiar designs, introduced with the new Dune dial. The warm, sand-colored lacquered dial is paired with gold-plated hands and applied numerals, giving the watch a softer, richer look than the standard silver or blue versions of the Portugieser Chronograph. Its 41 mm stainless steel case keeps the collection's slim bezel and the vertical chronograph register layout that has defined the model since 1998. Inside is the IWC caliber 69355, an automatic column-wheel chronograph built for solid daily wear and a clean, precise pusher feel. The movement follows IWC's straightforward engineering style: sturdy construction, practical performance, and a traditional chronograph control system that still appeals to experienced collectors. IWC launched the Dune dial alongside Horizon Blue and Obsidian references during Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024, expanding the current Portugieser Chronograph line with a more varied color palette. Fitted on a black alligator leather strap, the IW371624 has a formal, restrained presence, but the dial gives it enough warmth and contrast to stand apart within the current Portugieser range. For someone looking for a current-production Portugieser with a newer dial treatment and the model's established proportions intact, the IW371624 is a strong option.
