IWC Portugieser Automatic 40: the Perfect Watch? (ref. IW358305 )

The IWC portugieser automatic 40 is one of the hottest introductions of 2020. But is it worth its hefty price tag?

Price
€ 7200 euros / $ 7250

Reference
IW358305

Size
It has a 40,4mm 30m water resistant steel case. This new size closely resembles the original Ref. 325 from 1939, which measured 41.5 millimeters.

The in-house calibre 82200 has 60 hours of power reserve and it consists of 224 components. It can be seen through the glass caseback. The finishing is nicely decorated, with some Geneva stripes and perlage.

#IWC
IWC was founded in 1868 by the American Florentine Ariosto Jones in the Swiss village Schaffhausen. The manufacture is located right next to the Rhine river, that initially was used to power the factory. It is now owned by luxury conglomerate Richemont.

Why I chose it
I didn’t think I would ever actually say this, but… I really do think they made the perfect watch. And when it comes to having a perfect everyday watch… On the wrist, it definitely shows its worth. It’s out there, without shouting out loud. It’s also got a firm presence because of its thickness. To me it is very clear they did everything, considered every detail to give this watch its great personality.
