IWC Schaffhausen, the sponsor of the Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team, has released the Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph Edition “Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012″

The Volvo Ocean Race is an exciting around-the-world race covering over 39,000 miles through some of the world’s most treacherous waters.

The Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph is powered by the rugged IWC-manufactured 89360-calibre movement and is water-resistant to 6 bar.

After ten years of intensive research, IWC has succeeded in uniting solar time with sidereal time, together with astronomical displays, in a single watch.

The front of the IWC Portuguese Sidérale Scafusia features the solar time, the sidereal time, power reserve and a very large tourbillon as seconds display.

The Portuguese Sidérale Scafusia is not only an impressive sight from the front, but also from the reverse side, with its imprinted night sky and perpetual calendar.
