Description
The IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Moon & Tide Ref. IW344001 is a horological masterpiece that marries the traditional elegance of the Portugieser line with groundbreaking functionality. Its 18 ct 5N gold case, shining with a warm hue, measures 44.6 mm in diameter, offering a luxurious and bold presence on the wrist. The case's 13.4 mm height encapsulates the intricate engineering within, providing enough space for the complex mechanisms that drive this sophisticated watch. A standout feature is its unique tide indication on the dial, which accurately displays the timing of the next high tide, an invaluable tool for yachting enthusiasts and maritime professionals. The screw-in crown enhances the watch's water resistance, suitable for up to 6.0 bar, while the see-through sapphire glass back allows an enchanting view into the inner workings of the movement, a hallmark of IWC's transparent craftsmanship.
At the heart of this exquisite timepiece lies the 82835 Calibre, an automatic, self-winding movement engineered with the finesse and precision IWC is known for. This movement, with a 60-hour power reserve, is a testament to the brand's dedication to long-lasting performance and reliability. It consists of 228 components and 25 jewels, each meticulously assembled to ensure flawless timekeeping, and operates at a frequency of 28,800 VPH (4 Hz). The watch also features a double moon phase for both the northern and southern hemispheres, integrated with an innovative display of neap and spring tides, making it a unique tool for predicting tidal movements. The blue rubber strap with textile inlay, 22.0 mm in width, not only complements the luxurious gold case but also provides comfort and durability. The IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Moon & Tide Ref. IW344001 transcends the boundaries of traditional watchmaking, offering a rare combination of nautical utility and elegant design, perfect for those who seek a timepiece that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
