IWC Portofino Chronograph automatic white dial leather strap 39 mm

The timeless sophistication of the Portofino collection

Inspired by the relaxed elegance of the famous Italian coastal town, the Portofino collection holds a distinctive place within the world of IWC Schaffhausen. Since its introduction in 1984, it has been characterised by pure lines, a round case and a deliberately understated aesthetic. The Portofino Chronograph 39 IW391502 enhances this classic identity with a practical and sporting complication. Its compact 39 mm diameter creates particularly balanced proportions, making it suitable for a wide variety of wrists and occasions.

A luminous and elegant silver-plated dial

Crafted from polished stainless steel, the case reveals a refined silhouette extended by the collection’s characteristic slender lugs. Its silver-plated dial provides a clear and harmonious display, complemented by rhodium-plated hands and appliques. The vertically arranged counters give the dial a balanced structure while preserving the understated character of the Portofino. The chronograph function can measure elapsed times of up to 30 minutes, bringing a dynamic dimension to this sophisticated timepiece.

The IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre

The Portofino Chronograph 39 IW391502 is powered by the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre. Built around a traditional column-wheel architecture, this automatic chronograph movement has been engineered for robustness, precision and clearly defined switching sequences. Its bidirectional pawl-winding system builds up a power reserve of 46 hours. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire glass case back.

A versatile expression of everyday elegance

This Portofino is presented on a beige strap made from fully traceable Swiss calf leather, whose soft tone beautifully complements the silver-plated dial. An integrated quick-change system allows the strap to be replaced easily, enabling the appearance of the watch to be adapted to different styles and occasions. Refined enough for formal attire yet relaxed enough for everyday wear, the Portofino Chronograph 39 embodies IWC Schaffhausen’s modern, balanced and versatile interpretation of the chronograph.
