Among the many possibilities, the small seconds layout is undoubtedly the most popular. IWC’s dress watch lineup previously consisted of three major lines: the Portugieser, the Da Vinci, and the Portofino. However, with the Da Vinci line’s removal in 2023, the brand now only has two dress lines: the Portofino and the Portofino.

As the first of IWC’s “five major lines,” the Portugieser Automatic 40, a basic model, features a small seconds layout. Its 82200 caliber, equipped with the renowned Pellaton automatic winding technology, embodies the essence of the brand’s fine watchmaking. Meanwhile, the now-discontinued Da Vinci collection also boasts a “150th Anniversary” special edition (IW3581-01) in a small-seconds style. As one of the first watches equipped with the 82200 caliber, it set a benchmark for its application.
In contrast, the Portofino series’ basic models have for many years been equipped with the outsourced 30111 or 35111 calibers. While the Aquatimer and Pilot’s Watch (Mark XX) have been equipped with the in-house 32111 caliber, boasting an exceptional 120-hour power reserve and a degree of anti-magnetic properties, the 35111 caliber’s (approximately) 48-hour power reserve lags behind mainstream watches in its class, a key reason why the Portofino series is in urgent need of an upgrade.
