IWC Portugieser Rattrapante Special Edition for Canada

The Portugieser Rattrapante is an icon in the IWC line thanks to its ability to measure a second simultaneous event at the same time as measuring the first event. The new IWC Canadian Protugieser Rattrapante  is crafted in stainless steel case with a silver-plated dial. The two chronograph totalizers are black, and the hands are red. On the caseback, IWC has created an engraving of the maple leaf—Canada’s most recognizable symbol. More replica IWC Portugieser.

To operate the timing of two events with the same start time but different ending times, one pushes the button at 2:00 to start the chronograph and begin the movement o the two stopwatch hands (mounted on top of one another). When the first event ends, the wearer pushes the button at 10:00, stopping the upper hand, but allowing the lower hand to continue its timing.

When the second event ends, the wearer hits the button at 2:00 again to stop that second hand. To bring the two hands together again, one activates the Rattrapante pushbutton at 10:00 a second time.

The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Rattrapante Edition “Boutique Canada” watch is powered by a mechanical chronograph movement with split-seconds hand for intermediate timing of the second event. The 40.9mm watch is a hand-wound piece that offers 44 hours of power reserve. It is water resistant to 3 bar.
