The SS version is very tempting and one is missing ...
I'm a sucker for the Portuguese line and this one is a beauty.
I could be more happy without the date (Watch manufacturers, please notice: Date, day of the week, month and year belongs to the smartphone.) but the historical beauty of the Portuguese (why change the name to Portugieser, considering that the real name is "Português"?).
Anyway, IWC hit the mark with this one. Even with the unnecessary date, the watch is perfectly balanced. Great!
One that is missing here is the Yacht Club. For this one, IWC reduced the size to a more human 43.5mm, making is a serious candidate for me.
Now, I hope that this reducing trend is expanded to all product line.
Thanks Anthony,
Nilo

I think the Portugieser dial is the last one suited for the digital calendar indication. Marcus

I am very confused.
What 75th Anniversary is IWC celebrating? If this is a reference to the 325 (which was never called a "Portugieser"-that comes in 1993 with the Jubilee watch, r. 5441), this watch was first sold in Portugal in 1939. Last year would have been 75 years. The...
