Engineered for men
with a 39,000 mile journey home.
Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Volvo Ocean Race 2011–2012”. Ref. 3902: Sailing all the way round the world. Every
three years, something many amateur sailors dream of becomes a gruelling challenge for a small group of hardened professionals and their
equipment. Over a course of more than 39,000 miles, the Volvo Ocean Race separates the men from the boys. And, of course, those on board
cannot simply wear just any watch. The new Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Volvo Ocean Race 2011–2012” has all the precision
of a nautical instrument in its genes. Powered by the rugged IWC-manufactured 89361-calibre movement and water-resistant to 6 bar, the watch
displays its competitive credentials with a fl yback function and an ancillary bezel with quarter-second calibration for measuring short periods of
time. It is the only Portuguese model with protective shoulders for the crown as well as luminescent hands and indices. After all, when you are
exposed to the elements in the South Pacifi c, with waves of up to 30 metres in height, you begin to appreciate instruments you can rely upon.
And, as we are all well aware, the world’s oceans will always do whatever they please. IWC. Engineered for men.
