Ingenieur Automatic 40

With the Ingenieur Automatic 40, IWC Schaffhausen revisits the bold design of Gérald Genta’s iconic Ingenieur SL from the 1970s. This model features a case, bezel and integrated H-link bracelet with butterfly folding clasp made of stainless steel, all of which are elaborately finished with polished and satin-finished surfaces. The ergonomics of the case and bracelet have been carefully reworked and improved to the smallest detail. The 40-millimetre case and the newly engineered middle-link attachment ensure excellent wearability, even on a slender wrist.

The characteristic round bezel is screwed onto the casing ring with five polygonal screws. The blue dial features the distinctive “Grid” structure, which consists of small lines offset to each other by 90 degrees. Rhodium-plated hands and appliques with luminescence ensure easy legibility. At work inside the case is the IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre, whose pawl winding system 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.
