Overhaul IWC Portugieser Automatic Chronograph

I’m looking inside an IWC Portugieser Automatic Chronograph equipped with an IWC calibre C79350 movement. This movement is based on Valjoux 7750 and beautifully decorated with Geneva stripes. The screws are mirror polished. Every detail is just perfect.

This video is not a Rolex, Breitling or Seiko restoration. It just shows the beauty of watchmaking, movement finishing and attention to detail.

On top of that are these well made golden hands which are, in addition, mirror polished. The chronograph second and the minute hands are flame blued. The dial is simple and exceptionally well done with golden Arabic numbers.

The watch case shows just minor scratches from daily use. I do my best to let you have a deep look inside this watch.

To provide you with more video details I used three different macro lenses to see truly inside every part. Look for example at the reflection of the screwdriver blade on the screw heads. I didn't speed up the video and most sequences are in realtime. To enjoy all these details view the video in 4K or at least HD

Enjoy the video 😊
