PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
WELCOME
Welcome to the small circle of individuals who, if we are to
be absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than
absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more than mere
appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an ingeni-
ous idea. For the interplay between precision and imagin-
ation. 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 fas-
cination 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 beau-
tiful new example of this IWC tradition. We would like to con-
gratulate you on your choice and send you our best wishes
for the time you will spend with your watch, which perhaps
cannot be described with any greater accuracy than it is here.

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE
PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and
seconds, the moon phase, the day, the date, the month as
well as the leap year. The mechanical movement with auto-
matic winding has apower reserve of approximately 60 hours
when fully wound. Your Portugieser Perpetual Calendar42 is
protected by a convex sapphire glass of hardness grade 9
on Mohs’ scale. Your watch is water-resistant to 3 bar. The
engraved rotor winds the watch in both directions of rotation
via the Pellaton winding system. In addition to the unique-
ness of its functions, it is the display’s legibility and the ease

PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
with which it can be used that distinguishes this watch from
all other complicated timepieces. To ensure that this extra-
ordinary watch continues to perform faultlessly in the future, it
is essential to observe a few important operating instructions.

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 in an anticlockwise direction 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 TIME AND CALENDAR
If you have not worn your watch for more than 60 hours the
watch will normally stop at midnight, as the changeover of
the calendar uses a great deal of energy.
Warning:
If your watch has stopped between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.,
you should on no account alter the date using the rapid-
advance date display with the crown in position 1. This

— 11 —
PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
would result in damage to a component in the calendar mech-
anism which would require repair by a watchmaker. The same
applies to turning the crown too rapidly when setting the cal-
endar.
We recommend winding the movement at least 20 times with
the crown in position 0. Then pull the crown out to position
2 in order to set the hour and minute hands to approximately
6 a.m. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to
stop the movement as the small seconds hand passes 60.
Push back the crown to position 1. In this position, you can
safely set the date to the previous day. If you now pull the
crown out to position 2, you can set the exact time in hours

— 12 —
PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
and minutes. If the date does not jump to today’s date when
it passes 12 o’clock, you must wind the hour hand forward by
a further 12 hours. Once the hour and minute have been set
to the correct time using this process, push back the crown
to position 0 to start the seconds hand.
Warning:
In order to protect the watch from the ingress of water, the
crown must always be in position 0 and should only be pulled
out to position 1 or 2 when setting the watch.

MOON PHASE DISPLAY
1 Full moon
2 Waning moon
3 New moon
4 Waxing moon
Your watch features a moon phase display, which, with the
help of a transmission, displays the time from one full moon to
the next with 28 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes as precisely

as possible. The moon phase display advances in whole-day
increments together with the calendar. As a full moon can
occur at any time of night or day, it may be that your watch
displays the calendar date of the full or new moon but that
the moon phase display has not reached this position due to
the exact time of the full or new moon. IWC sets the moon
phase display so that it displays the full and new moon pre-
cisely on as many dates in the year as possible.

Setting when crossing time zones:
– When crossing time zones in an easterly direction, you
should simply set the time forward to the new local time.
– When crossing time zones in a westerly direction, you can
set the hands of your watch back to the actual time of day.
When doing this, however, you must not move back into the
calendar’s automatic switching phase, i.e. beyond 2 a.m.
If this situation occurs when you are travelling west, you
should set the local time of your destination before 10 p.m.
You must not turn the hands back between 10 p.m. and
2 a.m. This is because the calendar does not move back-
wards by 1 day when the hands are turned back beyond
midnight, but remains on the same day. If you go past the

— 17 —
PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
end of the calendar’s switching phase (i.e. beyond 2 a.m.)
when turning the hands back, you run the risk of the calen-
dar advancing by 1 day for a second time and thus indicat-
ing 1 day too many.
Setting when crossing the International Date Line:
– When crossing the International Date Line in a westerly
direction (you enter the next day, regardless of the time of
day), simply turn the time forward to the new local time, and
the date change will take place automatically.
– When crossing the International Date Line in an easterly
direction (you enter the previous day, regardless of the time
of day), you must likewise set your watch forward to the

— 18 —
PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
new local time. However, your watch will now indicate the
wrong date (1 day too many). This incorrect date indication
can be corrected by resetting the hands twice, by 12 hours
on each occasion:
– Setting the watch back by 12 hours during the afternoon
between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. will prevent the calendar from
advancing at midnight.
– Setting the watch back by another 12 hours the following
morning between 2 a.m. and 11a.m. will synchronize the
date display with the local date.

Warning:
If your watch has stopped between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.,
you should on no account alter the date using the rapid-
advance date display with the crown in position 1. This
would result in damage to a component in the calendar mech-
anism which would require repair by a watchmaker.
INFORMATION ABOUT MAGNETIC FIELDS
As a result of the ever greater prevalence in recent years of
very strong magnets made from rare-earth alloys (e.g. neo-
dymium-iron-boron) – these are found in objects such as loud-
speakers and mobile phones and fasteners on jewellery as

— 20 —
PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
well as handbags – mechanical watches are increasingly likely
to come into contact with such magnets and become mag-
netized. This can lead to the watch rate being permanently
affected, a problem that can only be resolved by a process of
demagnetization carried out by a specialist. We recommend
that you keep your watch away from such magnets.
Watches with a soft-iron inner case provide a higher level of
protection against magnetic fields and far exceed the require-
ments of DIN standard 8309. Nevertheless, it is still pos -
sible for the watch movement to become magnetized in close
proximity to very strong magnets. We therefore recommend

— 21 —
PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR 42
that watches with a soft-iron inner case also be kept away
from direct contact with strong magnets.
Should there be a sudden change in the precision of your
timepiece, please contact an authorized IWC Official Agent
to have your watch checked for magnetism.
WATER-RESISTANCE
The water-resistance of IWC watches is stated in bar and
not in metres. Metres, which are often used elsewhere in
the watch industry to indicate water-resistance, cannot be
equated with dive depth because of the test procedures
