Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is this IWC Portofino, and how does it wear? A: This watch has a 34 mm case, which gives it a refined, classic dress-watch look. It wears neatly under a shirt cuff and suits buyers who prefer a smaller, more understated watch profile.
Q: Is 34 mm too small by modern standards? A: Not necessarily. For a traditional dress watch, 34 mm is a very classic size. If you usually wear larger sports watches, it may feel more compact, but that smaller scale is part of the Portofino’s elegant vintage character.
Q: Is this watch automatic or battery-powered? A: This IWC Portofino uses an automatic mechanical movement. That means it winds itself through wrist movement during wear, and it can also be wound manually if it has stopped after being left unworn.
Q: Does this watch have a date function? A: Yes. The white dial includes a date window at 3 o’clock, making it a practical everyday feature while keeping the overall design clean and minimal.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced? A: Yes. The brown leather strap can be replaced when needed. IW3513-series Portofino models typically use an 18 mm strap width, though it is always wise to confirm measurements before ordering an alternative strap.
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear? A: Yes, it can work very well as an everyday dress watch if you enjoy classic proportions. Its slim, simple design makes it especially well suited to office wear, smart casual outfits, and more formal occasions.
Q: Is it water resistant? A: This reference is commonly listed with modest water resistance, but as a vintage pre-owned watch on a leather strap, it is best treated with care. We would not recommend swimming, showering, or exposing it to prolonged moisture unless it has been recently pressure-tested.
Q: Has this watch been serviced recently? A: No recent service is stated in the product information. With vintage automatic watches, it is sensible to have the movement checked if you notice irregular timekeeping, weak winding performance, or issues with the date change.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: According to the product information, this watch comes with a box. If another item is not listed under product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: The product information states that the watch is in very good condition, with light traces of use externally and shiny hardware showing light scratches. As expected with a 1995 vintage watch, gentle signs of age and wear are part of its character.
Q: Is the serial number readable? A: The serial number is noted in the product information as illegible. This can happen on vintage pieces over time due to wear or previous polishing.
