Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3716 Portugieser Chronograph for its legible and handsome design, with specific appreciation for the contrasting blue subdials on a white dial, often referred to as the "Blue Panda." The comfortable blue rubber strap is noted as versatile, though some suggest a leather strap for formal settings. The in-house automatic Calibre 69355 movement is visible through the display caseback, and its column-wheel chronograph actuation is described as crisp and smooth. One owner reported the watch arriving DOA and found damaged parts during attempted repairs, while another noted that the chronograph function should be used sparingly to avoid issues. The 30m water resistance is considered a minor drawback by reviewers. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3716 Portugieser Chronograph highly for its attractive aesthetic and refined movement at its price point.
Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic for its timeless beauty, stunning design, and pure class, with reviewers highlighting the dial's depth and brilliance achieved through 15 layers of lacquer. The 42.4mm case, while noted as being on the larger side by some, is described as fitting well and not feeling out of place, though a few owners express a desire for smaller 36-38mm sizing options. The watch features a 7-day power reserve from the caliber 52011 movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic highly for its compelling aesthetics and impressive power reserve at its price point.
