The short answer
The closest alternative to the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic is the IWC Schaffhausen Iw505701 Portugieser Eternal Calendar — same family (Portugieser) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Bremont ALT1-C at $6,150 (vs $13,900 for the Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Manufaktur Waldhoff Multimatic is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Visually similar. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic ($31,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
