IWC Portuguese Chronograph Ref. 3714

WHY THIS WATCH

A perennial favorite, the IWC Portuguese Chronograph is arguably IWCs most recognizable and highest selling watch. This watch remained largely unchanged until the unveiling of the new reference IW371605 which replaced the Valjoux based movement with a new In House Movement. This particular version is the 3714, which has the same creamy silver dial, blued hands/indices, and reliable Valjoux module that made this watch famous for decades. This watch hits all the right notes. Although it's 41.8 mm in diameter, it fits more like a 40. IWC has somehow slimmed the case size and it's surprisingly thin for a Valjoux based calibre. The dial is stunning, beautifully simple, and legible.
