Estimated year of manufacture
Estimated production period: circa the first half of the 2000s.
The IW3533 generation belongs to the Portofino models that IWC offered in the early 2000s. For the IW353301, examples from the mid-2000s are among the best documented.
An exact individual year of manufacture cannot be determined without dated documentation. The production period is therefore intentionally provided as an estimate.
──────────────────
Case
The round case is made of stainless steel and has a diameter of 38 mm.
The design is typical of the classic Portofino line: a thin polished bezel, rounded case flanks, and long, gracefully shaped lugs. This gives the watch an elegant and spacious feel despite the relatively traditional diameter.
The polished surfaces are in neatly used condition. There are light superficial scratches and signs of use, consistent with normal wear. No major damage or heavy dents are present.
──────────────────
Dial
The silver/white dial is unusually calm in design and forms the main character element of this Portofino.
Below 12 o’clock is the IWC logo and the text SCHAFFHAUSEN. Above 6 o’clock is AUTOMATIC and along the lower edge SWISS MADE.
The hours are indicated by slim applied metal baton indices. At 12 o’clock there is a double index, making orientation immediately recognizable.
Along the outer edge lies a fine black minute track.
The dial is in very well-kept condition and has retained its clear, classic appearance.
──────────────────
Hands
Time is shown by slim, polished baton hands for hours and minutes.
A very fine central seconds hand sweeps across almost the full diameter of the dial and ends at the minute scale along the outer edge.
The minimalist design of the hands is well suited to the understated dress-watch vibe of the Portofino.
──────────────────
Date
At 3 o’clock there is a separate date window.
The date is displayed in black against a light background, making it easy to read without significantly interrupting the dial’s symmetrical character.
──────────────────
Movement
Inside is the automatic IWC caliber 30110.
Caliber: IWC 30110
Type: mechanical automatic
Base: ETA 2892-A2
Number of jewels: 21
Frequency: 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour
Power reserve: approximately 42 hours
Functions: hours, minutes, central second and date
Caliber 30110 is a relatively slim automatic movement, which suits the elegant proportions of this Portofino.
──────────────────
Timegrapher measurement
The performed measurement yields the following values:
Rate deviation: -2 seconds per day
Amplitude: 251°
Beat error: 0.0 ms
Lift angle: 52.0°
Frequency: 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour
The measured rate deviation of -2 seconds per day and beat error of 0.0 ms are neat values during this measurement.
A timegrapher reading is always a snapshot in a single position and does not constitute a guarantee of future accuracy or the full technical condition of the movement.
──────────────────
Crystal
The watch is equipped with sapphire crystal.
The crystal is clear and provides good visibility of the light dial. There are no noticeable heavy damages affecting legibility.
──────────────────
Crown
On the right side is the grooved crown.
The crown features the IWC Probus Scafusia emblem and, due to its relatively compact size, fits well with the elegant case shape.
──────────────────
Case back
The Portofino has a closed stainless steel rear cover.
The central portion is brushed, while the surrounding case parts are polished. The back is marked with the number 3062192.
The back shows light surface scratches and signs of use, but overall is in good condition.
──────────────────
Stainless bracelet
The watch is fitted with a finely linked stainless steel IWC bracelet.
The bracelet consists of multiple narrow, rounded links and thus has a smooth, almost beads-of-rice-like character. This bracelet gives the watch a clearly different look than the typical Portofino variants on leather.
The many polished links visually connect nicely to the high-gloss finished case.
The bracelet shows normal light signs of wear, but overall looks very well-kept.
──────────────────
Clasp
The stainless bracelet features an IWC-signed folding clasp.
The outer clasp element clearly reads IWC. The clasp and adjacent links show light surface scratches consistent with normal use.
──────────────────
Wrist size
In the current configuration, the bracelet fits a wrist circumference of about 18 to 18.5 cm.
The final fit also depends on the shape of the wrist and the desired worn ease.
──────────────────
Condition
Case: neatly used with light hairlines and superficial scratches
Bezel: well cared for, with light signs of wear
Dial: very neat
Indices and hands: well cared for
Sapphire crystal: clear, without noticeable heavy damage
Back: light normal signs of wear
Stainless bracelet: neatly used with light scratches
Clasp: light signs of wear
Crown: IWC-signed
Movement measurement: -2 sec/day, 251° amplitude and 0.0 ms beat error
──────────────────
Overall condition
An elegant IWC Portofino Automatic in a particularly timeless configuration. The 38 mm stainless case, calm silver/white dial, and fine stainless IWC bracelet give it a classic appearance that is suitable for both formal and daily wear.
The watch is overall in neat used condition. In particular the dial presents very well, while the case, bracelet, and clasp show only light normal signs of wear. The recorded rate deviation of -2 seconds per day is also a respectable figure during the performed timegrapher measurement.
