The IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 IW501705 is a study in elegant watchmaking that blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design. Its 42.4mm stainless steel case is refined by a slim casing ring and box-glass sapphire crystals that reveal the movement from front and back. The dial color, known as "Dune" carries remarkable depth created through 15 layers of lacquer, each finely polished to a mirror finish.
Case Diameter: 42.4mm stainless steel
Dial: Dune-colored with gold-plated hands and appliques
Movement: IWC-manufactured caliber 52011 with 7-day power reserve powered by a Pellaton winding system reinforced with zirconium oxide ceramic parts

The meticulous detailing continues on the dial where the subdials are milled into both the brass base and lacquer for a three-dimensional effect enhanced by a special printing process.
