So, the brand, when compared to other major Swiss watchmaking brands, offers one of the most incredible selections of handpicked timepiece models and a guaranteed variety to please all tastes and preferences.

Next, we will look into some of the different models offered by IWC Schaffhausen, based on the watch category and the unique features that define them. Our categorization will follow the different kinds of luxury watches, taking into account personal taste, lifestyle, and personality. But first, you can also begin exploring the different models by their band type, that feature bracelets or straps.

The Portugieser

Let's begin with the most iconic model ever made by IWC: the Portugieser. This watch is a classic, traditional take that is the very trademark of IWC. The style sits somewhere between traditional sport watch and suit watch, but there is a nice style diversity to make the IWC Portuguese Chronograph Classic look good with a suit or “nice” casual clothes. We offer amazing options of this model, especially the unique ones featuring white.

Dress Watches

Dress watches are all about understated elegance. They feature a slim profile that makes it the perfect choice to compose an elegant look, whether by being slipped under a dress shirt's sleeve in a discreet way, or fully exposed, as they are designed to be aesthetically attractive.

Because they're designed to impress, their watch cases most commonly feature precious metals like white, yellow, and rose gold, silver, or platinum. Their sophistication seamlessly complements any outfit, as they are basically the only accessory you'll need to wear to look classy.

Diving Timepieces

Diver watches are one of the most popular watch types - and have been since the 1960s - partly thanks to James Bond’s iconic watches. Although these watches were first created to be reliable, water-resistant tools for divers, these iconic watches are adored for their beauty and their usefulness.

They carry a unidirectional bezel on the case, which allows a diver to track how long he’s been underwater — not to mention, of course, its water resistance. Because they're primarily designed to be worn under water, both their case and band tend to be made with corrosion-resistant metals, such as stainless steel or titanium. In addition to all these advantages, their design makes them perfect for everyday wear.

Aviator or Pilot’s Timepieces

The aviator watch was created in 1904, designed to work while flying an airplane at a time men still used to wear pocket watches, so that means the first aviator’s watch was also the first wristwatch ever. Since then, this style has evolved, mostly due to the addition of a chronograph. Though their design can vary, all aviator watches have an easy-to-read dial, with legible numbers. Some also include GMT complications to track multiple time zones. Not to mention, they're truly elegant.

If you want to make a decision based on color, our selection of IWC Schaffhausen includes stunning black timepieces, green timepieces, and more.

Racing or Driving Timepieces

Race cars and watches have both always relied on precision and accuracy. Therefore, the two defining features of a racing watch are the chronograph and the tachymeter. Most racing watches display a large dial in order to accommodate the chronograph's unparalleled accuracy.

The technology of the racing timepieces was originally developed for engineers and scientists, but it soon became popular among racers as it is meant to endure speed, impact, and all the rigors of auto racing. They are typically made of stainless steel and feature a leather or metal strap. Due to their bigger size and bold design, racing watches make quite a statement, which makes them more suitable for casual or business casual wear.

Yacht or Sailing Timepieces

Yacht watches were initially created to time regattas and sailing races, especially designed for boat-related activities, becoming a token of the nautical lifestyle. The most famous IWC sailing timepiece is the Yacht Club timepiece. We offer amazing options in this category.
