PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR DIGITAL DATE-MONTH
EDITION “75TH ANNIVERSARY”
Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to be
absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than absolute precision. Appreci-
ation of a watch is more than mere appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm
for an ingenious idea. For the interplay between precision and imagination. Between
time and timelessness. Between boundaries and infinity. Between laws to which the
entire world is subject, and taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why,
since 1868, we have been devoting rather more of our time to watches that must not
only run with absolute precision but which also, with every passing second, exert a
fascination with the great achievements of master craftsmanship: a fascination with
new inventions of a technical, material or formal nature, even if they are concealed in
minute details that are perhaps not even visible. You are now the owner of a beautiful
new example of this IWC tradition. We would like to congratulate you on your choice
and send you our best wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which per-
haps cannot be described with any greater accuracy than it is here.

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE
PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR DIGITAL DATE-MONTH
EDITION “75TH ANNIVERSARY”
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and seconds with hands as
well as the date and the month in a large digital display and the leap year. You can
use the integrated flyback chronograph to measure any period of time up to 12 hours
in seconds, minutes and hours. Stop times can be added together. The mechanical
movement with automatic winding has a power reserve of approximately 68 hours
when fully wound. The engraved rotor made of 18-carat red gold winds the watch in
both directions of rotation via the IWC double-pawl winding system. Your Portugieser
Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Edition “75th Anniversary” is protected by an
arched-edge sapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs’ scale. The glass is retained
securely in the case at low pressure, for example when a drop in air pressure occurs
at extreme altitudes. Your watch is water-resistant 3 bar. In addition to the uniqueness
of its functions, it is the display’s legibility and the ease with which it can be used
that distinguishes this watch from other complicated timepieces. To ensure that this
extraordinary watch continues to perform faultlessly in the future, it is essential to
observe a few important operating instructions.

1 — Setting the calendar
2 — Time setting
NORMAL POSITION
With the crown in the normal position (0), you can also wind the automatic movement
by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are enough to start the movement. However, it
is better to wind the watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions
as this will ensure maximum accuracy. The crown must always be in position 0 when
you are wearing your watch.

SETTING THE CALENDAR
Pull the crown out to position 1. In this position, you can use the direct-advance func-
tion to move the calendar forwards one step at a time by turning the crown slowly
to the right. The calendar must not be adjusted between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. The leap
year display has four positions: “1”, “2”, “3” and “L”. “L” stands for “leap year”. If the
current year is a leap year (i.e. the year is divisible by 4, for example 2016, 2020, etc.),
you must adjust the calendar so that the leap year display shows “L”. “1” corresponds
to the first year after a leap year, “2” to the second and “3” to the third. Once set
correctly, the perpetual calendar will automatically show the correct date at all times.
You need do nothing until 1 March 2100, when you must manually move the calendar
forwards by one day. Although 2100 is divisible by 4, it is not a leap year according
to the Gregorian calendar.
Please note:
– If the crown is turned too quickly, the display discs might not be positioned cor-
rectly in the display window. Generally, such a default is automatically corrected by
the movement when the calendar advances within the following 24 hours. Should
this not be the case, the movement needs to be reset by an IWC watchmaker.
– You must not move the calendar beyond the correct date. The complicated move-
ment is mechanically programmed and cannot be moved back in time without mak-
ing a professional adjustment to the movement. However, if you do move the date
forwards beyond the correct date, you have two options: You can either pull out
the crown to position 2 to stop the movement until the calendar setting once again
matches the correct date. This makes sense if the date has been set only a few
days ahead. Or, you can slowly advance the calendar by 4 years until you reach the
correct date. Alternatively, you can entrust this operation to your watchmaker.

TIME SETTING
Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time ac-
curately to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes
60. You can now set the time by turning the crown and positioning the minute hand
exactly above the minute stroke. Moving the hands forwards past midnight causes the
calendar to switch to the following day. When advancing the calendar, you can follow
and observe the automatic switching sequence.
Important:
– Under no circumstances must the hands be turned back between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.
as this will result in maladjustment of the calendar.
– The hands must never be turned anticlockwise beyond 2 a.m.
– The crown must be pushed back into the normal position before wearing the watch
to avoid unintentional adjustment of the calendar.
