The Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition "Orlebar Brown" is being launched right in time link for link summer, alongside Orlebar Brown's new nine-piece resort wear capsule collection, designed with IWC. With its nautically influenced design, rubber strap, and custom co-branded buckle (which is fashioned link after an Orlebar Brown side tab adjuster), this feels like a fun twist on a perennial favorite from the IWC Portugieser collection.
Looking first at the Opaline model, we see a familiar color scheme. The Pepsi (red and blue) inner 24-hour scale contrasting against the white dial gives shades link of the elusive white albino GMT-Master of yore. The mixture of color and an almost stark-white background gives the watch superb legibility. The Norqain link wordmark is raised off of the dial with a link lacquer-like effect.
