IWC has sort of released a new Portugieser. We say kind of because this new 40mm technology on the 2020 update to the Portugieser line is currently exclusive to the UAE and won't come to the Americas until April 2023. But now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk about the watch itself.

This is a riff on the existing 40mm collection but with a brand new dial color - that's basically the long and the short of it. But the dial is some watch dial - did we mention it's salmon? - and there's always room in the column calendar to cover a trout dial (especially when it looks this good on paper).
As with the other color variations in the selection, this watch features applied numerals, foliage hands, and a stainless steel case with a signed IWC overhead. The fish dial by itself is done with a sunburst effect with a diverse black small seconds subdial matching the actual IWC wordmark and railway minute track.

This 40mm salmon Portugieser 40 Automatic is paired with a black leather strap and will cost $7, 450 when it arrives in the US market in a few months.
This is one of those dial-swap "new" releases which sort of stopped me in my digital tracks. To me, without handling it in the metal, it is empirically good-looking. The design elements of the present model range when adjusted for the oily fish such as salmon aesthetic, just work.

The silver tone of the used numerals contrasts really nicely against the stainless-steel case allowing for the dial color to stand out by itself without distraction. If there is such a thing as a conservative salmon dial… this is it.
Much like we saw with the Mark XX last year, this was type of just present on the IWC website waiting to be uncovered by snoopy watch writers like myself. There was no fanfare, a perfect watch. And you know what? That very well may be because this piece is not yet released in the US market however. But there's still a little bit of mystique a couple of watch this cool, simply hanging out in the vastness worldwide wide web.

Way back in 2020, I wrote about the Portugieser Automatic 40 and its ties to the nineteen thirties IWC Reference 325 with the small seconds subdial design motif. We were quite excited about that item back then, and this riff on the design only ups the particular ante i believe.
The Portugieser 40 straddles the line between dress as well as casual and the salmon switch adds a playfulness that will bolsters typically the sub $8k value proposal offered in this article - along with the IWC-manufactured 82200 calibre movement with 60 hours of power reserve.

Since I don't currently have plans to travel to often the UAE among now and also April, I will wait for this one to arrive stateside so I can feast my eyes upon this in real life. I'll report back my observations when I do.
