Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph “Orlebar Brown” Steel Blue Dial 44mm

About the Model

The IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph (ref. IW390704) blends nautical styling with refined chronograph functionality in a special edition created in collaboration with British swimwear brand Orlebar Brown. Its blue dial, paired with a brushed and polished stainless steel case and matching integrated bracelet, evokes the relaxed sophistication of riviera life.

Measuring 44.6mm and water-resistant to 60 m, the case houses the IWC in-house calibre 89361 with flyback chronograph and a 68-hour power reserve. The vertical 12-hour and 60-minute totaliser sits at 12 o’clock, while the small seconds display with red-tipped hand at 6 adds a pop of contrast. The solid build and clean legibility mark it as a tool-ready sports chronograph, while the polished bezel and subtle detailing speak to IWC’s dressier Portugieser line.

As the first Portugieser Yacht Club to feature a steel bracelet and a fashion capsule partnership, the Orlebar Brown edition bridges sport and leisure with distinctive flair. It stands out not only within the IWC catalogue but among contemporary sailing-inspired chronographs.Read More
