IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days Mens Watch IW510103

The IWC Portofino collection can be traced back to the 1970's when the Lepine pocket watch was the inspiration for the Portofino collection. First presented in 1984 the "pocket-watch-style" wrist watch with the name "Portofino". Since then, this watch collection has been a range of minimalistic and classically designed timeless watches that retain their value. Over the last three decades, the IWC Portofino family has become one of the most successful collections; and equally popular for both men and women; and it is easy to see why. This particular model features the IWC manufactured 5910-callibre movement which will run precisely and reliably for a full 192 hours or 8 days before it automatically stops. Strictly speaking, it is 9 days, but the extra day in reserve ensures that the movement maintains as constant a driving torque as possible and continues to run precisely. The owner will always be on the safe side if he winds his watch once a week. The power remaining can be read off on the power reserve display on the dial. Presented on a brown alligatory strap from the House of Santoni, this timepiece features a 45mm stainless steel case with silver plated dial, solid gold indices and small seconds and date displays.
