IWC just released three new versions of their dressy, yet somehow also laid back, Portofino Chronograph! I’ve long been a big fan of IWC’s Portofino collection, one which has been somewhat disappointingly overshadowed by the iconic Portuguese and Pilot’s Watch collections. I have always found the style of these watches to be beautiful, however unpretentious, and maybe the most versatile available from IWC. Those good looks are definitely apparent in these new chronograph models, all three of which are, to my eyes anyway, more attractive than their existing 42mm counterparts.
Here’s an assessment between the brand new 39mm and the existing 42mm model (not to scale). The Portofino style, with haphazardly bisected Roman quantities, a plated silver watch dial, and tasteful gold accents, is very clearly shared together. They’re both gorgeous, classical designs, but the new 39mm is, in my view, better because it’s missing several elements. Specifically, the 39mm model drops the day as well as date complications, and it relocates the seconds subdial through 9: 00 to 6: 00, omitting the hour register entirely. In exchange, the wearer receives a far cleaner, dressier dial that better suits the Portofino’s character. I will admit that I do like the raised areas at the center of each subdial in the 42mm model, however; it’d be nice if so have kept that on the smaller one.
All of the fresh IWC Portofino Chronographs look better, at least to me, but to a lot of people the most interesting aspect of the actual 39mm version is the addition of a green dial along with matching eco-friendly strap. Every brand is focusing on environmentally friendly dials recently, but IWC has done an exceptionally good job in this article. It’s a dark green sunburst, which in some photos, at least in the darker areas of the particular dial, appears to be a forest green. In others, however , it can take on a more olive tone. Honestly, that is one of the big advantages to using a sunburst dial with a bold color; you usually get to explore a wider portion of the spectrum than a matte dial.
Of course , if you’re not a fan associated with green dials, there are two others to choose from, including this nice black sunburst dial, the IW391404. Like the silver dial, it features high-contrast gold hands and hour markers, which give the switch a touch of colour and improve legibility.
I, however , being a boring person, much prefer the more traditional silver precious metal dial together with gold features, which is quite beautiful. I love IWC’s silver knobs, which have a certain austere subtlety to them. That said, across all of these, and others Portofinos, they commit typically the sin regarding cutting off figures. In my opinion, it would be better to have a partial index at 6: 00 and 12: 00, even though Portofino is the Roman numeral collection (as opposed to often the Arabic numeral Portuguese models), but perhaps this is simply another portion of Portofino’s lighthearted aesthetic.
Naturally, we can’t really have a complete discussion about the IWC Portofino Chronograph 39 without discussing that 39 part, the smaller case. Down from 42mm, each watch is more flexible for everyday wear compared to its larger counterpart. I think most people will be better served by the 39mm size than the 42mm version, although those with bigger wrists may yet choose the original. I tend to think going smaller is better with a traditional, reserved design like the Portofino’s. Right now, the entire group models tend to be exclusively in steel, but I’d become surprised if we don’t see a gold edition in the next few years.
I wish I could show you the exact movement, however it’s covered by a steel back anyhow. If it had a blue back, what you’d find is the 79350 automatic, an IWC-revised model of the famed Valjoux 7750, probably the most widely-used Swiss wathe movement of all time. It’s not really a particularly fascinating movement, so those looking to expand their horological horizons may not find it uniquely appealing, but there are few, if any, chronographs as widely respected for their reliability and also toughness as the 7750 (IWC version or otherwise).

It’s priced better than its 42mm predecessor as well. All three models are $5, 900, compared to $6, 100 for the 42mm model. It is not a difference, but given that I think that these are much better looking in any case, it’s a nice bonus. You can pre-order all of them here at Timeless with the links below, to have in mind that all Timeless pre-orders receive our special 10-year warranty.
IWC’s undisputed biggest news involving 2021 was its launch, during Watches & Wonders, of the BP43, a more reasonably sized technology of its iconic along with famously huge Big Pilot’s Watch. Lately, the Schaffhausen-based manufacture has opted to continue the downsizing trend using three brand-new models within the elegant Portofino collection, the first IWC Portofino Chronographs to come in a completely new reduced case diameter connected with 39 milimeter.
