IWC PORTUGIESER YACHT CLUB CHRONOGRAPH EDITION ORLEBAR BROWN
SAILING SPIRIT Comfort, quality, practicality. Common points which set IWC and Orlebar Brown's productions apart and which invite to be discovered in this co-signed flyback chronograph.IWC's Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition Orlebar Brown imagined hand-in-hand with the British leisurewear brand, blends together an elegant and sporty style with a host of summery colors. On its navy blue dial, rhodium-plated hands coated with white luminescent material hover over a minute tracker which is as alabaster-toned as the small seconds set at 6 o'clock. A 12-hour and 60-minute chronograph totalizer displayed at 12 o'clock, measures short-cycle times, escorted by the central direct-drive adorned in bright red. It's no coincidence if these tones were chosen as they feature in most of the ready-to-wear firm's creations.The high-performance 89361 caliber, unveiled back in 2007, and the first to have been totally developed in the manufacture's workshops, reigns supreme in the 44.6 mm-diameter steel case, waterproof to a depth of 60 meters. Besides its rather mighty 68-hour power reserve, this selfwinding movement boasts an hour, minute and second stop system. The chronograph is enhanced with a flyback function. And, the watch's oscillating weight invites to be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback.IWC's Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition Orlebar Brown, in its element on-board a yacht or on an oceanfront terrace, is worn with a textile-incrusted azure-hued rubber strap. The strap is attached by a laterally-fixed folding clasp engraved with both brands' names.Price: EUR12,200By Dan Diaconu
