With this new timepiece, IWC has integrated a moon phase display into a Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days iwc big pilot top gun for the first time. The watch is a tribute to the Reference 5251 from 1984, another timepiece that was equipped with this complication.

The Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase houses the manufactured 59800 calibre, which beats at a frequency of 28,800 A/h. IWC watch designers enhanced the basic 59000 calibre with a moon phase module that only needs to be adjusted by one day after 122 years.

The watch with a case diameter of 45 millimetres is available in two versions, both of which have gold-plated hands. The first version has an 18-carat red gold case, a slate-coloured dial and solid gold appliqués (Ref. IW516403), while the second one has a stainless-steel case, a silver-plated dial and gold-plated appliqués (Ref. IW516401). Both models are fitted with a dark brown alligator leather strap by Santoni.

Ref. 516403

Formed in 1867 once the British colonies of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick had been united in to the Dominion if Canada, the Canadian Federation supplies style and design impetus for the engraving within the case back with the new observe. The Portugieser Rattrapante is definitely an icon inside the IWC line because of its potential to measure a 2nd simultaneous occasion simultaneously as measuring the very first occasion. The new IWC Canadian Protugieser Rattrapante is crafted in stainless steel case using a silver-plated dial. The two chronograph totalizers are black, along with the hands are red. Around the caseback, IWC has made an engraving of the maple leaf-Canada’s most recognizable symbol.
