The Portugieser series, the flagship of IWC's five major collections, initially featured pocket watch movements, large case diameters, leaf-shaped hands, and Arabic numeral hour markers. Today, the Portugieser series boasts numerous complex functions, including chronographs, power reserve displays, moon phases, minute repeaters, and tourbillons.

The IW3714, launched in 1998, featured a 41mm case diameter and was powered by the Cal. 79240 automatic movement based on the ETA 7750. Many of its details laid the foundation for subsequent models. After several iterations, the current Portugieser Chronograph (IW3716) has been upgraded with a transparent case back and the original 69355 movement.
The most distinctive and recognizable design feature of the Portugieser chronograph is its upper and lower "eye" layout—two chronograph subdials (30 minutes and 12 hours) are located at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock respectively. It lacks a date function, giving the dial a more complete and vintage look. Compared to the 79 series movement, the 69355 movement features a column wheel, slightly increasing the power reserve to 46 hours. The automatic rotor of this movement winds bidirectionally (compared to the unidirectional winding of the 79 series movement), resulting in higher efficiency.
In 2024, the Portugalieser Chronograph introduced three new color options: a steel case in "bright beige" (IW371624), an 18K red gold dial with a black dial (IW371625), and an 18K white gold dial in "ice blue" (IW371626), all based on the classic design. The fact that the Portugalieser Chronograph's design has remained largely unchanged since its debut in the 1990s is a testament to its success https://www.firstwatchclone.co.
