Watches

IWC Portugieser Chronograph

Worn by James May as Himself. In "James May recreates the sandwich of his childhood", uploaded on 11 June 2025, May wears a silver-dial IWC Portugieser Chronograph with blued hands and Arabic numerals on a blue strap. A r/Watches thread built on two screenshots of the video names the Portugieser Chronograph, the top reply linking IWC's page for the current IW371605 while another notes that the earlier IW371446, with its Valjoux-based movement, fits equally well; the frames do not separate the 3714 and 3716 generations, so no reference is confirmed. (r/Watches) (YouTube) Monochrome's 2014 survey of the Top Gear presenters' watches already showed May in an IWC Portuguese Chronograph. (Monochrome)
