IWC Schaffhausen’s new stainless steel bracelet watch is a class apart

At the Watches & a Wonders exhibition in Shanghai, which end on September 13, Swiss luxury watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen presented the iconic Portugieser Chronograph on a stainless steel bracelet, for the first time.
Thanks to this new bracelet option, the sporty chronograph becomes even more versatile and apt for a whole new range of adventures. The high-quality stainless steel bracelet with a butterfly folding clasp is also available as an accessory for all new models of the Portugieser Chronograph.

The company has established the Portugieser Chronograph as a sportier design expression. The watch’s clear and open dial with the two recessed totalisers at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock, the inner flange printed with a quarter seconds scale, the timelessly modern chronograph has turned into one of the most popular models from Schaffhausen.

Making it even more versatile, for the first time, IWC has launched a version of this iconic timepiece with a stainless steel bracelet. The bracelet is polished and has satin-finished surfaces and comes with a butterfly folding clasp.

“Stainless steel is robust and practical for everyday use, but also corrosion-resistant and unaffected by moisture, sweat and seawater splashes. With this new bracelet option, the Portugieser Chronograph becomes the timepiece of choice for even more activities and adventures, and an extremely versatile companion on the wrist,” said Christoph Grainger-Herr, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen.
