IWC Portugieser Chronograph 41mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 41 mm case size

IWC Portugieser Chronograph 41mm measures 47.9 mm lug-to-lug on a 41 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.17 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 62% of the 8,010 watches in this database and longer than 24% of the 42 IWC watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 54 mm (2.13 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 64 mm (2.52 in) it starts to look compact. Below 47.9 mm (1.89 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
