WEITEREN INFORMATIONEN UNDER WWW.IWC.COM/CASE-MATERIALS

Stand:Juli 2014.

Welcome to the small circle of individuals

who, if we are to be absolutely precise, demand slightly more of a watch than absolute precision. Appreciation of a watch is more than mere appreciation of the correct time. It is enthusiasm for an ingenious idea. For the interplay between precision and imagination. Between time and timelessness. Between boundaries and infinity. Between laws to which the entire world is subject, and taste, which cannot be dictated to anyone. That is why, since 1868, we have been devoting rather more of our time to watches that must not only run with absolute precision but which also, with every passing second, exert a fascination with the great achievements of master craftsmanship: a fascination with new inventions of a technical, material or formal nature, even if they are concealed in minute details that are perhaps not even visible. You are now the owner of a beautiful new example of this IWC tradition. We would like to congratulate you on your choice and send you our best wishes for the time you will spend with your watch, which perhaps cannot be described with any greater accuracy than it is here.

IWC MANAGEMENT

THE TECHNICAL REFINEMENTS OF THE PORTOFINO AUTOMATIC/ PORTOFINO MIDSIZE AUTOMATIC

Your IWC watch shows you the time in hours, minutes and seconds, together with the date. The mechanical movement, which is timed in five positions, with automatic winding, a temperature-compensating balance spring made of Nivarox® of the highest quality and an unbreakable Nivaflex® mainspring, has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. Your Portofino Automatic/Portofino Midsize Automatic is protected by a sapphire glass of hardness grade 9 on Mohs' scale. Your watch is water-resistant 3 bar. To ensure that this extraordinary watch continues to perform faultlessly in the future, it is essential to observe a few important operating instructions.

FUNCTIONS OF THE CROWN

2 - Time setting

NORMAL POSITION

With the crown in the normal position (0), you can also wind the automatic movement by hand. A few revolutions of the crown are enough to start the movement. However, it is better to wind the watch by turning the crown through approximately 20 revolutions as this will ensure maximum accuracy. The crown must always be in position 0 when you are wearing your watch.

DATE SETTING

If a month has fewer than 31 days, you will need to set the date manually to the first day of the following month. Pull the crown out to position 1. You can now set the date by turning the crown to the left (direct advance). You should not use the rapid-advance function between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. because the movement automatically advances the date during this period.

TIME SETTING

Pull out the crown to position 2. This will stop the movement. To set the time accurately to the second, it is best to stop the movement as the seconds hand passes 60. Now move the minute hand a few minute strokes beyond the time to be set. Then position the minute hand by moving it gently backwards until it is exactly above the correct minute stroke. This ensures that the minute hand begins to move immediately when you restart the movement. To start the seconds hand, push in the crown to position 0. When setting the time, please be aware of the date change, which always takes place at 12 midnight. If this change has already taken place at 12 noon, you must move the hands forwards by 12 hours.

ADJUSTING THE MILANAISE MESH BRACELET (PORTOFINO AUTOMATIC REF. 3565)

The IWC Milanaise mesh bracelet is available in three different lengths: standard, XS and XL. If you have chosen a Milanaise mesh bracelet, you can fit it to your wrist quickly and simply without any outside help.

SIZING THE MILANAISE MESH BRACELET (PORTOFINO AUTOMATIC REF. 3565)

Lay the bracelet with its top surface on a firm base with the clasp fully open. Located beneath the outer side of the clasp is the clamp fastener that holds the bracelet in position. The locking lever on the clamp fastener (1) can be opened simply by inserting the special tool supplied with the watch into one of the two boreholes and lifting the locking lever. After opening, the locking lever should form a right angle to the bracelet. The bracelet can now be moved easily inside the clasp and adjusted in stages to the desired length. When closing the locking lever please ensure that the stop pins engage in the lower notches (2) on the bracelet.

Important: Always ensure that the locking lever on the clamp fastener is firmly closed to prevent the bracelet from slipping out unintentionally.

A metal loop (3) is available to secure the loose end of the bracelet in position. This is infinitely adjustable and can be moved effortlessly to the desired position.

ADJUSTING THE MILANAISE MESH BRACELET (PORTOFINO MIDSIZE AUTOMATIC REF. 4581)

The IWC Milanaise mesh bracelet is available in two different lengths: standard and XS. The length of the bracelet can be adjusted by your authorized retailer.

SIZING THE MILANAISE MESH BRACELET (PORTOFINO MIDSIZE AUTOMATIC REF. 4581)**

Lay the bracelet with its top surface on a firm base with the clasp fully open. Located beneath the outer side of the clasp is the spring bar that holds the bracelet in position. To release the spring bar (1), simply push the pin inwards until the spring bar disengages. The bracelet can now be moved easily inside the clasp and adjusted in stages to the desired length. To secure the bracelet, push the pin inwards again until the spring bar engages in place. When doing so, please ensure that the stop pins engage in the lower notches (2) on the bracelet.

A metal loop (3) is available to secure the loose end of the bracelet in position. This is infinitely adjustable and can be moved effortlessly to the desired position.

INFORMATION ABOUT MAGNETIC FIELDS

As a result of the ever greater prevalence in recent years of very strong magnets made from rare-earth alloys (for example neodymium-iron-boron) - these are found in objects such as loudspeakers, jewellery and fasteners on mobile-phone cases and handbags - mechanical watches are increasingly likely to come into contact with such magnets and be magnetized. This can lead to the watch rate being permanently affected, a problem that can only be resolved by a process of demagnetization carried out by a specialist. We recommend that you keep your watch away from such magnets.

Watches with a soft-iron inner case provide a higher level of protection against magnetic fields and far exceed the requirements of DIN standard 8309. Nevertheless, it is still possible for the watch movement to be magnetized in the close proximity of very strong magnets. We therefore recommend that watches with a soft-iron inner case also be kept away from direct contact with strong magnets.

Should there be a sudden change in the precision of your timepiece, please contact an authorized IWC Official Agent to have your watch checked for magnetism.

WATER-RESISTANCE

The water-resistance of IwC watches is stated in bar and not in metres. Metres, which are often used elsewhere in the watch industry to indicate water-resistance, cannot be equated with dive depth because of the test procedures that are frequently used. Water-resistance shown in metres provides no indication as to actual use of the watch in the presence of moisture and wetness, and in or under water. Recommendations for use in connection with the water-resistance of your watch can be found on the Internet at www.iwc.com/water-resistance. Your authorized IwC Official Agent will also be pleased to provide you with information.

To ensure that your watch continues to function perfectly, you should have it checked by an IwC service centre at least once a year. Your watch should also be tested after exposure to unusually harsh conditions. If the tests are not carried out as stipulated, or if the watch is opened by unauthorized persons, IwC will accept no warranty or liability claims.

Recommendation: Your authorized IwC Official Agent must carry out a water-resistance test whenever your IwC watch is opened and serviced.

NOTE

If your watch has a strap made of leather, textile or rubber with a leather or textile inlay, make sure that the high-quality strap does not come into contact with water, oily substances, solvents, cleaning agents or cosmetic products. This way you can prevent discoloration and premature ageing of the material.

SERVICING YOUR PORTOFINO AUTOMATIC/PORTOFINO MIDSIZE AUTOMATIC

Although the parts in this watch are all manufactured from top-quality materials, a number of components are subject to natural wear and tear. It is particularly important to ensure that the points at which wear occurs are always well lubricated and that oil contaminated by metal abrasion is regularly removed. For this reason, we recommend that you have your watch serviced approximately every 5 years. Please contact an authorized IWC Official Agent or send your watch directly to the IWC Customer Service Department in Schaffhausen.
