IWC Portuguese Chronograph SS Miami Vice Limited Edition 27/50 REF IW371404

IWC introduced an incredibly rare edition of their watch, with only 50 pieces available, making it a collector's dream. This special edition, labeled reference number 371404, has an IWC engraved caseback flaunting the Miami Vice logo and its specific number. One standout feature is its white (panda) subdials, which is unique since the contemporary Portuguese range doesn't showcase this. When transitioning Miami Vice to a contemporary setting, Ricardo Tubbs, portrayed by Jamie Foxx, donned the IWC Portuguese Chrono-Automatic for daylight sequences. Its sophisticated black dial with a silver subdial was a testament to the movie's new, chic aesthetic.

The Portuguese watch lineage harks back to the era of seafarers who utilized precision nautical tools during their world exploration. This historic line demanded a chronograph with a quarter-second precision scale. The Portuguese Chronograph stands out due to its elegant design and optimal case height. The watch’s dial is a blend of recessed totalizers, embossed Arabic numerals, and well-balanced feuille hands. Those encased in 18-carat red gold offer a touch of opulence. Mechanical chronograph movement, Stainless Steel, Black Alligator Strap, Self-winding, 44-hour power reserve when fully wound, Stopwatch function with minutes and seconds, Small hacking seconds, Sapphire glass, convex, antireflective coating on both sides, Water-resistant 3 bar, Case height 12.3 mm, Diameter 40.9 mm
