IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Vintage watch, round stainless steel case (46mm diameter, 11mm thickness) with transparent caseback, brown calfskin leather strap with tang buckle, black dial with silver hands and Arabic numerals, moonphase display at 12 o'clock, small hacking seconds indicator at 6 o'clock, 18 jewel Caliber 98800 manual-winding mechanical movement with 46 hour power reserve, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 30 meters.
With its narrow Roman numerals and moon phase display, the Portofino Hand-Wound exudes the same timeless elegance as the historic original did 27 years ago, and has made use of its renaissance to correct a ?flaw?-albeit a rather becoming one: the choice of the 98800-calibre hunter movement means that the moon phase and seconds displays are now back at their conventional positions of ?12 o?clock? and ?6 o?clock?, respectively. The movement, which is based on the Jones calibre and features a nickel-plated nickel-silver three-quarter bridge, screw balance, Breguet spring and elongated index, has also undergone a modification: the accuracy of the moon phase display has been improved to the extent that it deviates by just one day in 122 years from the actual progress of the moon. In addition, the moon phase can easily be corrected using just the crown. The imposing 46-millimetre case remains unchanged. With its sapphire glass-sharply arched at the edge like the historic original-and sapphire-glass back, this superb example of a typical IWC pocket-watch style wristwatch can now be viewed from all sides.
