IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph "Ocean Racer"
Boat races and watches-a weird and yet?seemingly ever-green combination. A few years ago, IWC joined the craze and has?chosen to sponsor the Volvo Ocean Race, a remarkably challenging, round-the-world race that starts this October in Alicante, Spain, and terminates in Gothenburg, Sweden, in June 2015.

The watch dedicated to?the event is the?IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph "Ocean Racer,"a limited edition of just 1,000 pieces.

That said, it's not cheap at $8,600 but the limited edition run of 1959 pieces will go fast, no matter what (if they haven't already). Though I wouldn't worry too much about missing out because, when discussing the new in-house manual wind B09 movement, Breitling represe
