The Portugieser Chronograph has been the most sought-after model in the Portugieser family since 1998. Back then, it was the first Portugieser watch that not only allowed the wearer to read the time, but also to stop it. Its moderate, 40.9 millimeter diameter also makes it ideal for a more slender wrist. Everything is integrated harmoniously on the clearly organized dial with the encircling precision scale: the recessed totalizers, the embossed Arabic numerals and the perfectly proportioned feuille hands for hours and minutes. The timepiece in a case with the warm appeal of 18K red gold and a dark brown alligator leather strap exudes a distinctive luxury. The blue hands for stopped times provide a colorful highlight on the silver-plated dial.

Give your watch a quick check on a regular basis, wiping down the face and bracelet with a soft cloth, checking the leather on a strap, and making sure that the strap or bracelet is firmly attached to the watch face. Also, while many watches are water resistant, few are truly waterproof, so if you find that moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, bring it into your local Ben Bridge store where we can have one of our watchmakers clean it out for you.

Our best advice on watch maintenance is to never attempt do-it-yourself repairs, no matter how handy you are or how good the instructions are on Youtube. Watches are super complex little machines and only an expert watchmaker should be trusted to get a watch back into working condition. Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and can even invalidate factory warranties.

In general, having your watch checked regularly by your Personal Jeweler or watchmaker and serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines should keep it in excellent shape.
