IWC has proudly introduced a special edition of its revered Portugieser Chronograph, crafted to honor the significant Year of the Dragon in the Chinese lunar calendar. Bearing the reference IW371629, this exceptional timepiece is encased in a 41mm x 13mm stainless steel casing, adorned with a sapphire crystal featuring anti-reflective coating on both sides.

The focal point of this limited edition is its captivating burgundy dial, a color deeply rooted in Chinese tradition as a symbol of festivity during Lunar New Year celebrations. Enhanced by contrasting gold-plated hands and appliques, the dial exudes a rich and regal allure.

Powering the Portugieser Chronograph Year of the Dragon is the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre, a robust and precise mechanical chronograph movement employing a classic column-wheel design. The transparent sapphire crystal case back offers a mesmerising view of the gold-plated rotor, intricately detailed with a graceful dragon.

Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and boasting a substantial 46-hour power reserve, the movement harnesses energy through a bidirectional pawl-winding system, akin to the renowned Pellaton mechanism.

With a water resistance of 30 meters (100 feet), the Portugieser Chronograph Year of the Dragon comes complete with two interchangeable straps: a sophisticated black calfskin strap and a distinctive burgundy rubber strap. The wearer can effortlessly switch between these options, each secured by a butterfly clasp, ensuring optimum comfort.

Limited to a mere 1,000 pieces, the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Year of the Dragon, ref. IW371629, is now available for enthusiasts and collectors. Priced at Euro 10,200 / US$ 9,350, this exclusive timepiece can be acquired through IWC boutiques, authorised retail partners, or conveniently online.
