Welcome to the small circle of individuals who,
if we are to be absolutely recise, demand slightly more
of a watch than absolute recision. A reciation of a
watch is more than mere a reciation of the correct time.
It is enthusiasm for an ingenious idea. For the inter lay
bet ween recision 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 devot ing rather more of our time to watches
that must not only run with absolute recision but which
also, with every assing second, exert a fas cination with
the great achievements of master craftsmanshi : a fas-
cination with new inventions of a technical, material or
formal nature, even if they are con cealed in minute details
that are erha s not even visible. You are now the owner
of a beautiful new exam le of this IWC tradition. We
would like to congratulate you on your choice and send
you our best wi shes for the time you will s end with your
watch, which erha s cannot be described with any
greater accuracy than it is here.
IWC Management

The techn cal ref nements of the
Portuguese Chronograph
Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and
seconds. You can use the integrated chronograph to
measure any period of time in seconds and minutes. Stop
times can be added together. The mechanical movement
with automatic winding has 31 jewels (synthetic rubies)
and a power reserve of approximately 44 hours when fully
wound. Your watch is protected by a convex sapphire
glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs’ scale and is water-
resistant 3 bar. To ensure that this extraordinary watch
continues to perform faultlessly in the future, it is essential
to observe a few important operating instructions.

The funct ons of the crown
0Normal position
1Time setting
Normal pos t on
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.

T me sett ng
ull out the crown to position 1. This will stop the move-
ment. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best
to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60.
Now move the minute hand a few minute strokes beyond
the time to be set. Then position the minute hand by
moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above the
correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute
hand begins to move immediately when you restart the
movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown
to position 0.
Read ng the chronograph
Chronograph seconds hand: The scale for the central
chronograph seconds hand runs around the edge of the
dial.
M nute counter: The 30-minute scale with a slow
jumping hand is situated at 12 on the subdial. This hand
makes two complete revolutions in one hour.

Us ng the chronograph
Start: To start the chronograph, press the start/stop
button.
Stop: To stop the chronograph, press the start/stop
button again.
Reset: ress the reset button. This will reset all the
chronograph hands to zero.
Aggregate t me record ng: You can add stop times
together by pressing the start/stop button again after
the first measurement instead of the reset button.
Water-res stance
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 proce-
dures that are frequently used. Water-resistance shown
in metres provides no indication as to actual use of the
watch in the presence of moisture and wetness, and in or
under water. Recommendations for use in connection
with the water-resistance of your watch can be found
on the Internet at www.iwc.com/water-resistance. Your
authorized IWC Official Agent will also be pleased to
provide you with information.

To ensure that your watch continues to function perfect ly,
you should have it checked by an IWC service centre at
least once a year. Your watch should also be tested after
exposure to unusually harsh conditions. If the tests are
not carried out as stipulated, or if the watch is opened by
unauthorized persons, IWC will accept no warranty or
liability claims.
Recommendat on: Your authorized IWC Official Agent
must carry out a water-resistance test whenever your
IWC watch is opened and serviced.
Serv c ng your Portuguese Chronograph
Although the parts in this watch are all manufactured
from top-quality materials, a number of components are
subject to natural wear and tear. It is particularly
im portant to ensure that the points at which wear occurs
are always well lubricated and that oil contaminated by
metal abrasion is regularly removed. For this reason,
we recommend that you have your watch serviced
approx mately every f ve years. lease contact an au-
thorized IWC Official Agent or send your watch directly to
the IWC Customer Service Department in Schaffhausen.
Effective from October 2010.
