IWC Portuguese Chronograph Classic Watches

IWC Portuguese Chronograph Classic is more than just a simple evolution of its older brother. The case plays a more prominent role, layout of the chronograph registers has changed, and a date aperture has found its way onto the dial. It is best not to think of this watch as a direct replacement of the ref. 3714, but rather an extension of the bloodline in a slightly different direction.

At 42mm, the replica IWC Portuguese Chronograph Classic is slightly over 1mm larger than the 3714 (which sits at 40.9mm), and it's just enough to be noticeable. Everything about this new design though is a little beefier. The lugs are wider and make a less pronounced curve into the caseband, the pushers have longer but thicker stems and heftier tops (not to mention the substantial click you get when activating the chronograph), and even the crown has more visual weight to it.

The dial design is actually more reminiscent of another Portuguese chronograph, the Yacht Club, than the 3714.  Additionally, the chronograph totalizer displays elapsed time via hour and minute hands living atop one another in the 12 o'clock sub dial. The sum of these details is a 3904 that doesn't have to live in the formal wear section of your wardrobe.

The Caliber 89361 features an impressive 68 hour reserve, flyback function, and the aforementioned hour and minute counters combined in a totalizer at 12 o’clock. Using the functions you immediately realize that this is a truly serious movement, from smooth winding and easy chronograph actuation to a snappy quick-date set and hacking functionality.
