Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic for its timeless beauty, stunning design, and pure class, with particular admiration for the dial's depth and brilliance achieved through 15 layers of lacquer. The 7-day power reserve, housed within a 42.4mm case, is a significant draw, often noted as a compelling feature for a watch of this size. Some owners find the 42.4mm case to be on the larger side, with one owner preferring it on a strap over a bracelet and another noting it was pushing the size limit for a 6.25" wrist. A desire for smaller case size options, specifically 38mm or 36-38mm, is also expressed by multiple owners. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic highly for its captivating aesthetics and impressive 7-day power reserve.

Reviewers note the updated Caliber 3861 movement provides excellent accuracy, consistently meeting its Master Chronometer specifications, and the new bracelet is a significant improvement. Some owners, however, consider the current prices too high for a watch lacking applied markers and with only 50m water resistance, while others disagree, highlighting its value at lower price points and its status as an accessible chronograph. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Co Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 42mm highly for its historical significance and iconic design, which are considered its primary drivers.
