With a 60 meters water-resistant stainless steel case with integrated crown guard, a blue dial and a resilient blue rubber strap, the Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph (Ref. IW390507) is the perfect watch for summer.
The blue dial with white counters, rhodium-plated hands and the red second hand of the chronograph produce an overall look that's deliberately casual. The 89361 manufacture calibre with flyback function indicates the measured hours and minutes together on a subdial at 12 o'clock, while the quarter-second scale that surrounds the dial allows for precise measurement of shorter time periods. This automatic movement beats at the frequency of 28,800 vph and hs a 68-hour power reserve. Its inner working can be admired through the transparent case-back in sapphire crystal.
Stylish straps for the summer
