Review IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown”

IWC Schaffhausen  and  Orlebar Brown have announced back in July their collaboration piece, the IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown” . Due to the travelling and general restriction imposed by the infamous COVID19, I have seen the watch in the metal just at the end of August. Even if the summer is over, the “Orlebar Brown” Portugieser Yacht Club deserves to be presented – a lovely addition in the Portugieser Collection and a nice collaboration. 

IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown”

I loved this watch from its digital launch. So I was very happy to finally get to see it at IWC Geneva Boutique during the Geneva Watch Days. The watch looks much better in the metal than the pictures reveal so if you are interested, I recommend to see it live.

Portugieser at heart, Portugieser in the look

The Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown” is one of those more special Portugieser – while keeping the known general aspects, some details are personalised by the Orlebar Brown collaboration.

The watch comes in a large 44.6 mm stainless steel case. Its dimensions are not obvious, the Edition “Orlebar Brown” wearing, as all the Portugieser large pieces, smaller than expected.

The case is designed to fit comfortable a large variety of wrist sizes. The caseband integrates the inward bent lugs. Even the brushing is extended on the lugs’ sides for a homogenous look. The rest of the surfaces are mirror polished. The strap integration is realised without any empty spaces.

The IWC Probus Scafusia decorated crown is surrounded by a raised polished crown protection. The protection bump also integrates the chrono pushers. The pushers have a wide but relatively thin topper. The entire appearance is nicely designed. The case details are quite handsome.

One of the eye-catching details of the IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown” is the strap. The blue rubber strap with textile inlay looks charming and offer very comfortable wear. It contributes to the smaller wear of the elegantly-proportioned case.

The buckle bears the sign of the IWC and Orlebar Brown collaboration deeply engraved in the metal. This buckle offers a secure sit on the wrist and it is a nice combination for the watch and strap.

A dial inspired by sea and sailing

The IWC Yacht Club “Orlebar Brown” has a gorgeous dial combining bleu-marine, white and red. With a vertical layout, the watch has a handsome face. The 12 o’clock areal presents the 60 minutes and 12 hours chronograph totaliser. The stepped down sub-dial presents two registers: the minutes counter on a circular pattern with white and red printing; the hours’ counter is central with printing on a flat surface. The elements are well delimited and offer good legibility. The chronograph’s seconds indication is realised with a central red hand that runs against the white inner bezel with blue printing.

The time display uses central hours and minutes elongated leaf hands with skeletonised centre and SuperLuminova fill. The hours’ indexes have double representation: applied metal Arabic numeral with the Portugieser known font and short baton indexes with SuperLuminova fill – another rather familiar detail. The minutes use a white printed railtrack that can also serve as an indication for the central chrono hands for an ease in legibility.

The lower side of the dial, at 6 o’clock, presents the running seconds. The subdial is subtly recessed and it is decorated with a circular pattern in the same granulation as the one met at the chrono’s minutes’ counter. The indexes and numerals are printed in blue. The date is printed in black on a white background and can be easily observed via a windowed aperture, as part of the small seconds’ dial.

As additional decoration, the dial of the IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown” bears the name of the brand at 3 o’clock and the “Yacht Club” name at 9 o’clock. The Swiss-made marking is displayed at 6 o’clock as a break in the minute’s railtrack.

Calibre 89361 – a classic IWC movement

The Orlebar Brown Yacht Club is powered by the impressive Calibre 89361. This automatic movement powered by a 4Hz balance wheel offers an impressive set of features like the flyback chrono, hacking seconds, quick set date and a long power reserve of 68 hours due to its double barrel design and bi-directional winding.

Calibre 89361 is used in several IWC families for chronographs: Ingenieur, Da Vinci, Aquatimer , Pilot and, of course, Portugieser . The movement uses a double-clutch design with a vertical clutch for coupling and a column wheel for actuation. The combination of the two decreases the wear of the gear train with an increase of reliability over time. The system also helps the overall chronometry by decreasing the loss of amplitude by the chrono’s activation. Looking at the winding mechanism, I was wondering if this is the four pawl system patented by Jean-Francois Mojon and Norberto Perucchi fifteen years ago?

The movement does not particularly excel on the finishes side. Mostly industrial but fine and well-executed, the adornment of the Calibre 89361 deserves a look through the exhibition case back.

It has the looks, it has the brains

The IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown” is a beautiful watch with a pleasant layout and nice colour scheme. The look can be overshadowed only by the technically impressive in-house movement, the Calibre 89361. The back offers a compelling view too.

Definitively, it has a sporty appearance. Regardless if worn as a daily driver, at the beach or by sailing, the watch offers comfortable wear even for smaller wrists.  I have an 18cm/7inch wrist and I usually tend to stop at a diametre of 41-42mm. But I didn’t realise how big the watch actually is. So a strong point for a small wrist to give it a chance.

Introducing The IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition 'Orlebar Brown'

Just in time for summer, a new sport watch and resort wear collection..

This year at IWC has been all about the refreshed Portugieser line of nautically inspired timepieces, which harken back to an important wristwatch made by IWC that used a large and accurate pocket watch movement. Today, we have a special edition of the sporty Portugieser Yacht Club to mark a new partnership between IWC and the British swimwear brand Orlebar Brown. 

Orlebar Brown was founded after its Creative Director, Adam Brown, detected a disconnect between what typically well-dressed guys wear socializing and what they tend to put on when they go to the pool. While changing from a pair of swim trunks into something more appropriate for lunch, a light went on, and Brown realized he wanted a pair that would look great away from the pool too. When you look at a pair of Orlebar Brown swim trunks, you can see how traditional tailoring influences their construction. Side tab adjusters and a four-part shaped waistband keep things refined, fresh, and stylish when heading from an afternoon at the pool out to drinks with friends. Though the company's swimwear collections are regularly refreshed on a seasonal basis, each suit comes with a five-year guarantee. They're swim trunks made to look great and to last.

Earlier this year, IWC dropped three main line models as part of its 2020 focus on the Portugieser line. Aesthetically, the new special edition version bridges the designs of the blue dial and silver-plated dial variations that we covered back in April. It does this while dispensing with the stainless steel bracelet in favor of the rubber strap with co-branded buckle seen above.

The Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition "Orlebar Brown" is being launched right in time for summer, alongside Orlebar Brown's new nine-piece resort wear capsule collection, designed with IWC. With its nautically influenced design, rubber strap, and custom co-branded buckle (which is fashioned after an Orlebar Brown side tab adjuster), this feels like a fun twist on a perennial favorite from the IWC Portugieser collection.

One of my favorite things about IWC's cal. 89361 flyback chronograph movement is its impact on the display. It allows for a clean and symmetrical two sub-dial layout while integrating chronograph hours and minutes into the upper sub-dial and reserving the lower one for a small hacking seconds. Usually, a chronograph would need three subdials to convey this much information. 

The Portugieser is, of course, a watch whose formidable size is one of its most distinctive design elements, and this watch is certainly a Portugieser in that regard. At nearly 45mm in diameter, it could be a bit overwhelming to those who only wear watches on the smaller end of the spectrum. Still, it has a very classic design, and the fact that it's a sporty chronograph on a rubber strap makes me think that this could be a pretty killer watch for these current warmer months.

IWC Schaffhausen

IWC AND ORLEBAR BROWN CREATE THE ULTIMATE SUMMER COLLECTION

Schaffhausen, 15th July 2020 - IWC Schaffhausen and Orlebar Brown have picked the perfect month of July to announce their new partnership. Marking the start of their collaboration, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer has unveiled the Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown”, alongside the clothing brand’s new nine-piece collection of resort wear. In stainless steel with a marine-blue dial, elegantly-proportioned case and a co-branded side-fastener deployment strap, the nautical chronograph, which is water-resistant up to 6 bar, is the perfect timepiece for sailing yachts and relaxing on the beach.

The Orlebar Brown brand was founded by Adam Brown in London after an invitation to a friend’s 40th birthday party in Rajasthan. Around the hotel pool, he noticed that the usually well-dressed group were found wanting when it came to the style of the men in attendance, due to the selection of briefs, board shorts and shapeless boxerstyle shorts on show. When changing into something more appropriate for lunch, Adam realised he wanted something that he could seamlessly wear for both swimming and socialising. Eighteen months later, the first pair of Orlebar Brown swim shorts was sold.

As is the case with IWC and its watches, Orlebar Brown places great importance on the smallest details. Based on the pattern of a pair of traditional men’s suit trousers, Orlebar Brown’s swim shorts are crafted from 60 elements and developed to feature a four-part shaped waistband, zip closure and adjustable side-fasteners for the perfect fit. Recognisable due to their hallmark side-fasteners, their classic swim shorts are refreshed in new iterations each season and come with a 5-year guarantee as a testament to their quality and durability. Each pair is designed to be tailored to the dynamic lifestyles of sailors, adventurers and explorers.

“IWC and Orlebar Brown are united by the passion they feel every day for craftsmanship, innovation and quality. Orlebar Brown has reinvented sporty, elegant leisurewear and has proven with its unique, tailored approach that men can also look good in casual outfits. The company is one of the most innovative in its sector and continues to set high standards when it comes to comfort, quality and functionality.”

To mark the start of their collaboration, IWC has introduced the Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown” (Ref. IW390704). The stainlesssteel case is complemented by a marine-blue dial and a co-branded side-fastener buckle , featuring white and red colour accents, which are often used in Orlebar Brown’s product range. The nautical chronograph with elegant case proportions is worn on a blue rubber strap with textile inlay. Thanks to its robust design and waterresistance of 6 bar, this watch is ideally suited for either an action-packed adventure on the deck of a yacht or relaxing at the beach or pool. The IWC-manufactured calibre 89361 with flyback function displays the measured hours and minutes together on a subdial at 12 o’clock and has a power reserve of 68 hours.

A LEISURE WARDROBE FOR SMART MEN

Working together, IWC Schaffhausen and Orlebar Brown also designed a nine-piece “Capsule Collection” of resort wear. “Just like the Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph, our collection combines timeless elegance and a love of adventure. During the design process, we drew inspiration from IWC’s Portugieser, a watch family that is traditionally associated with the world of water, sailing and navigation. Our collection is intended for men who successfully navigate through life, and the range supports the dynamic lifestyle of sailors, adventurers and explorers with good design, reliable functionality and supreme style,” explained Adam Brown, founder of Orlebar Brown.

The collection includes a white towelling blazer with blue piping and a cotton/silk knitted polo. A highlight in the collection is a photographic swim short with signature side fasteners, depicting a Solaris 55 sailing yacht in front of Porto Rotondo in Sardinia. This design celebrates the recently announced partnership with IWC and Italian luxury yacht brand Solaris. 

The Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown” is available from July in IWC boutiques and from authorised retailers.

The “Orlebar Brown x IWC Capsule Collection” by Orlebar Brown and IWC is available from 15th July 2020 and customers can sign up now via  https://www.orlebarbrown.com/iwc

In 1868, the American watchmaker and entrepreneur Florentine Ariosto Jones travelled from Boston to Switzerland and founded the ‘International Watch Company’ in Schaffhausen. His visionary dream was to combine advanced American manufacturing methods with the craftsmanship of Swiss watchmakers to make the best pocket watches of his time. In doing so, he not only laid the foundation for IWC’s unique engineering approach but also established the centralised production of mechanical watches in Switzerland.

Over its 150 year history, IWC Schaffhausen has developed a reputation for creating functional complications, especially chronographs and calendars, which are ingenious, robust, and easy for customers to use. A pioneer in the use of titanium and ceramics, IWC today specialises in highly engineered technical watch cases manufactured from advanced materials, such as titanium aluminide and Ceratanium®. Preferring the principle of “form follows function” over decoration, the Swiss watch manufacturer’s timeless creations embody their owners’ dreams and ambitions as they journey through life.

IWC sources materials responsibly and takes action to minimise its impact on the environment, creating intrinsically sustainable timepieces that are built to last for generations. The company prides itself in training its own future watchmakers and engineers, as well as offering an excellent working environment for all employees. IWC also partners with organisations that work globally to support children and young people.

Introducing the Orlebar Brown x IWC Capsule

Discover La Dolce Vita with our new collaboration with the Swiss watchmaker

In 1861 an enterprising prince cut a deal. Victor Emmanuel II succeeded in swapping the throne of Sardinia for that of all Italy. It was, as some people said at the time, perhaps Italy who got the better deal. Sardinia glistens like a pearl. Even in antiquity, they knew it. The ancient Greeks, not known for their flattery of their counterparts across the Ionian Sea, thought Sardinia unique. So unique, in fact, they claimed Zeus — taking a breather after the creation of the Earth — gathered what was leftover, threw it in the sea and stamped it into place. They called it Ichnusa, footprint. Since the working of that godly heel, the island has been venerated by the Romans, the Phoenicians, the Catalans, Pisans and D.H. Lawrence, who wrote a book about it, Sea and Sardinia, memorably referring to its inhabitants as “pouring themselves one over the other, like so much melted butter over parsnips”. But then, that ought not surprise; it is a place which has always shown the sweet life to visitors, a place where the Italian summer seems eternal, and the blood-red tomatoes in a caprese are enough to ward off dark clouds. It is where you go to learn how to enjoy life like an Italian.

So, when we came to shoot the campaign for the capsule we recently created with IWC Schaffhausen, Sardinia was a natural starting point (and, incidentally, home to our first Italian store at Porto Cervo). We say starting point advisedly, because, as you see, the action took place not just on land but also on a Solaris 55 yacht. It was an appropriate choice because the collection is not just about the good life on land; it is also about the dynamism, adventure and exploration that comes when you are skimming across oceans. The watch you see on our models is a special creation: the Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Orlebar Brown” has a stainless-steel case, marine blue dial and a co-branded side-fastener buckle (like you find on our shorts). Besides the watch, we have created a nine-piece capsule, which ranges from a white towelling blazer with blue piping to a cotton and silk knitted polo and is the very embodiment of “La Dolce Vita” of Italian summer.

It is 60 years since that film, the masterpiece of Federico Fellini, made the phrase “La Dolce Vita” known to those of us who knew no more Italian than “carbonara”. It fixed the vision of Italy in adamantine. Every night hot, every person handsome, and no one ever seeming to have to pay for a drink. The film opens with a statue of Christ being flown over Rome by helicopter, whose pilot pauses, mid-flight, to do some flirting, which rather sets the tone.

The story follows the travails of Marcello Rubini, a gossip columnist and rake, over seven nights, as he smokes endless cigarettes and somewhat fruitlessly searches for the sweet life of the title. But, in truth, it was the tone and vision, not the story, that struck. It created the great roiling narrative of Italianism: the peacocking, the poise, the ice coolness, even when it was 30 degrees out. You find a mix of all these things in the collection, and on the recently re-opened streets of Sardinia.

To drift through the Bastione di Saint Remy and its neo-classical piazza is to see this up close. Look out across the boat-specked bay, to the salt flats and the sapphire sky, and you could be forgiven for thinking it was a Fellini stage set, so perfect is it. You expect Marcello to pop up for a Fernet-Branca and half a dozen cigarettes at any moment. Indeed, when we last visited, there were quite a few gentlemen that might have been Marcello, cleaving to his father’s famous dictum: “boredom makes us old”. It is this which makes Italian summers so much better and brighter. The sense of adventure tempered with poise. A sense that anything is possible, that fortune favours the brave, and two bottles are perfectly adequate for lunch

Witness the scene at aperitivo hour in the capital Cagliari, the impeccable clothes of people “waiting expensively for miracles to happen”, as W.H. Auden put it; it is slow, drawn-out and that is because it is savoured. An olive here, a sip there, just a little bit of flirting. It is the perfect way to while away an hour before dinner. Nowhere on Earth savours summer as they do in Italy. And now, as we emerge, blinking into the light after the winter of the pandemic, Sardinia never seemed more vital, attractive and bright. In the film, Maddalena, the bored heiress, says to Marcello: “I’m fed up even with Rome. I’d like an island.” “Buy one,” he says. She should have given Sardinia some thought.

• Watch Description
• Watch Specification

The IWC Portugieser, a hallmark of sophistication and precision in watchmaking, has an illustrious history that traces back to the late 1930s. Initially conceived at the request of two Portuguese businessmen seeking precise marine chronometer wristwatches, its genesis led to the creation of a timepiece that combined navigational instrument accuracy with elegant design. The first model, the Reference 325, introduced in 1939, was powered by a pocket watch movement, embodying both the accuracy sought by its patrons and a distinctive style characterized by a large dial and Arabic numerals. Over the decades, the Portugieser has evolved while preserving its core identity. The introduction of notable complications such as chronographs, perpetual calendars, and minute repeaters has cemented its status as a technical marvel. The IWC Portugieser collection remains emblematic of IWC Schaffhausen's commitment to innovation and excellence in craftsmanship. It represents not just a nod to maritime history but also an enduring legacy in luxury watchmaking.

What's on Offer

This IWC Portugieser Yacht Club is an Orlebar Brown Edition, a collaboration with the clothing brand that took place in 2020. Crafted from stainless steel with a marine-blue dial with rhodium-plated hands and a red chronograph seconds hand, elegantly-proportioned case and a co-branded side-fastener deployment strap, the nautical chronograph, which is water-resistant up to 6 bar is in superb condition - almost mint, and offered for sale with its original 2020 box and papers. The blemish-free dial is encapsulated underneath Sapphire crystal and at 44mm is fairly meaty on the wrist, however, it is surprisingly comfortable.  The IWC-manufactured calibre 89361 with flyback function displays the measured hours and minutes together on a subdial at 12 o’clock and has a power reserve of 68 hours.

This watch is in superb preowned condition with no visible signs of wear, we would say it is almost mint condition, this is head-turning watch with bags of charisma which any discerning watch lover would be overjoyed to have in their collection.

The Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition "Orlebar Brown" was created in partnership with the British designer label.

As part of its partnership with the British designer fashion label Orlebar Brown, IWC is releasing the Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition "Orlebar Brown". The stainless steel case with a diameter of 44 millimetres is completed by a marine-blue dial, rhodium-plated hands and a red chronograph seconds hand. These colours are often used in Orlebar Brown’s product range. The nautical chronograph with elegant case proportions is fitted with a blue rubber strap with textile inlay and custom Orlebar Brown buckle. Thanks to its robust construction and water-resistance of 6 bar, it is ideally suited for use on water or on land. The IWC-manufactured 89361 calibre with flyback function displays the stopped hours and minutes combined on a subdial at "12 o'clock" and provides a power reserve of 68 hours.
