Q: What are the main specifications of this IWC Portofino IW356502? A: It features a 40 mm stainless-steel case, black dial with a date display, automatic movement, and a black leather strap. Inside is the IWC calibre 35111 with approximately 42 hours of power reserve. The case is about 9.2 mm thick, fitted with a convex sapphire crystal with anti‑reflective coating, and rated to 3 bar water resistance.
Q: How does the 40 mm Portofino wear on the wrist? A: Thanks to its slim profile (around 9.2 mm) and a lug‑to‑lug distance of roughly 45 mm, it wears elegantly and slips under a shirt cuff. It suits a wide range of wrist sizes; personal preference will determine the ideal fit.
Q: What strap size does it take? Can I fit other straps? A: The IW3565 Portofino uses a 20 mm lug width. Quality 20 mm straps in leather or textile will fit; professional fitting is recommended to avoid scratching the lugs.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
