IWC Portugieser IW501705

iwc, Portugieser Steel Beige Dial 42mm, IW501705

The IWC Portugieser Automatic (ref. IW501705) refines a design legacy that began in the 1930s, now expressed in a slimmer form and versatile new proportions. Released in 2024 as a follow-up to the long-running IW5007 series, this iteration combines IWC’s signature clean dial layout with a restrained beige tone and updated movement architecture. Housed in a 42.4mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 12.9mm, the IW5017-05 retains the elegant profile of the Portugieser line while improving wearability. The warm beige dial is minimally interrupted by applied Arabic numerals and a sunken small seconds at 9 o’clock paired with a power reserve indicator at 3. Inside, IWC’s in-house calibre 52011 provides a seven-day power reserve thanks to a dual-barrel Pellaton winding system – a technical evolution of the earlier 52010 first seen in select Big Pilot references. With a transparent caseback showcasing the movement’s refined finishing, the IW501705 balances mechanical depth with classic aesthetics. Its revised dimensions and subtle dial colour signal a modern shift within IWC’s most historically rooted line., alarm: False annualCalendar: False bezelMaterial: Stainless Steel braceletColor: Black braceletMaterial: Alligator Leather calibre: Calibre 52011 calibreDiameter: calibreThickness: caseBack: caseDiameter: 42 caseMaterial: Stainless Steel caseShape: Round caseThickness: chronograph: False clasp: Folding Clasp claspMaterial: Stainless Steel constantForce: False crystal: Sapphire date: False dayOfTheWeek: False deadbeatSeconds: False dialColor: dialDetails: dialFinishing: dialMarkers: Arabic Numerals dualtime: False equationOfTime: False exoticSkin: False flybackChronograph: False frequency: functions: Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Date, Power Reserve Indicator gender: Men gmt: False grandeSonnerie: False hours: False jumpingHour: False leapYear: False lugWidth: minuteRepeater: False minutes: False month: False moonPhase: False movementMechanism: Selfwinding noOfJewels: 31 noOfParts: openWorkedSkeleton: False passingStrike: False perpetualCalendar: False powerReserve: False powerReserveHours: 168 satelliteWanderingHours: False seconds: False splitSecondsChronograph: False tourbillon: False waterResistance: 50m worldtime: False yearDiscontinued: yearReleased: 2024
