This automatic model reflects the bold aesthetic codes of Gérald Genta’s original Ingenieur SL from the 1970s while also meeting the highest standards regarding ergonomics and wearability, finishing and movement technology.

The Ingenieur was originally launched in 1955 as IWC Schaffhausen’s first antimagnetic wristwatch for civilian use. However, its name is most frequently associated with renowned Geneva watch designer Gérald Genta, who was tasked with re-designing it in the 1970s.

With the Ingenieur SL, Reference 1832, Genta detailed his artistic vision of a stainless steel luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet.

Introduced last year, the Ingenieur Automatic 40 reflects the bold aesthetic codes of Genta’s Ingenieur design. It is distinguished by the characteristic bezel with five functional screws, the integrated bracelet and the special dial pattern.

After initially presenting an Ingenieur Automatic 40 in titanium and three stainless steel versions with a black, a silver-plated and an aqua dial, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer now adds a new dial colour to the collection.

The Ingenieur Automatic 40 (Ref. IW328907) features a case, bezel and integrated H-link bracelet with butterfly folding clasp made of stainless steel. The ergonomics of the case and bracelet have been carefully re-engineered and improved down to the smallest detail.

The 40-millimetre case size and the middle-link attachment ensure excellent wearability, even on a more slender wrist.

The characteristic round bezel is screwed onto the case ring with five polygonal screws. The components of the case and the bracelet are elaborately finished with a combination of polished and satin-finished surfaces.

This new Ingenieur Automatic 40 impresses with its striking blue dial. The characteristic “grid” structure, consisting of small lines and squares, is stamped into the soft iron base using high pressure.

The blue dial features the distinctive “Grid” structure, which consists of small lines offset to each other by 90 degrees. Afterwards, the blue colour is applied with a PVD-coating.

 The rhodium-plated baton hands and the applied metal marker are all filled with Super-LumiNova® luminescent mass to ensure perfect legibility in all lighting conditions.

SELF-WINDING MOVEMENT WITH FIVE DAYS POWER

The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre, a self-winding automatic movement with an efficient double pawl winding system.

Converting the movements on the wearer’s arm into potential energy for the mainspring, it reliably builds up a power reserve of 120 hours. In keeping with the technical heritage of the Ingenieur, a soft-iron inner case shields the movement from magnetic fields.

The 10-bar water-resistant case and the newly designed crown protection make the Ingenieur Automatic 40 a fully versatile luxury sports watch for the 21st century.
