Overview

The IWC Portofino Chronograph reference IW391022 is a 42 mm stainless-steel dress chronograph wearing a black dial, powered by the in-house Calibre 75320. It sits within the long-running Portofino collection, a line defined by clean, round cases and restrained, classically proportioned dials inspired by the relaxed sophistication of the Italian Riviera. The IW391022 occupied the collection from 2015 through 2022, offering collectors a refined alternative to sportier chronograph references.

History

The Portofino line was conceived as IWC's answer to the dress-watch segment, drawing its aesthetic identity from the eponymous harbour village on the Ligurian coast. Chronograph variants have been a recurring presence in the collection, evolving through successive generations of movement and case design. The IW391022 represented the generation introduced around 2015, pairing the 42 mm case format — by then the dominant size in the line — with the Calibre 75320. Production of this reference concluded around 2022, after which the Portofino Chronograph continued under revised references.

Notable points

Calibre 75320 is an IWC-manufactured movement featuring a column-wheel chronograph mechanism and a flyback function.
The 42 mm stainless-steel case reflects the Portofino collection's characteristic slim, round profile with a smooth bezel.
The black dial maintains the line's hallmark restraint, with applied hour markers and a layout that keeps the chronograph subdials legible without visual clutter.
A production span of roughly seven years (2015–2022) makes the IW391022 one of the more enduring references within its generation of the Portofino Chronograph.
The Portofino collection's Italian Riviera inspiration gives the IW391022 a distinctly dressy character uncommon among steel-cased chronographs of comparable size.
