Big Watch Buyers offers authenticated, pre-owned IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser watches in the New York Diamond District. Explore the Portugieser inventory below.
The Portugieser is IWC's flagship dress collection — a large-diameter watch (40–42mm) with a thin profile and clean dial layout that emphasizes the movement. Originally created in the 1930s for Portuguese merchants who wanted a wristwatch with marine chronometer precision, the Portugieser has evolved into IWC's most recognized collection. It's the watch that watch enthusiasts buy — the movement finishing, dial legibility, and case proportions are optimized for horology rather than brand signaling.
Key Portugieser Models
Portugieser Chronograph (IW371491, IW371605) — The most popular Portugieser reference. 41mm steel with column-wheel chronograph, applied Arabic numerals, and leaf-shaped hands. The blue dial variant is the best-selling IWC of the past decade.
