True to tradition, IWC Schaffhausen welcomes the Lunar New Year with a special edition watch. 10th February 2024, marks the beginning of the Year of the Wood Dragon. According to the Chinese calendar, such a combination only occurs once every 60 years.
People born under the sign of the dragon are considered energetic, strong, confident, gifted, intelligent, and generous. Dragons initiate big things and keep them running. The Year of the Dragon promises luck, prosperity, and economic success.
The Portugieser Chronograph Year of the Dragon (Ref. IW371629) features a 41-millimetre stainless steel case, a burgundy dial, and gold-plated hands and appliques. Burgundy is a charming shade of red, symbolising the vibrant colour of fire, which is traditionally used to welcome the Lunar New Year in China and promises longevity and luck.
The chronograph is powered by the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre, a robust and precise mechanical chronograph movement in a classic column-wheel design. A glance at the movement through the transparent sapphire case back reveals another highlight: the gold-plated rotor of the automatic winding system takes the form of a beautifully detailed dragon.

A butterfly clasp ensures excellent wearing comfort.
