IWC Schaffhausen Introduces New Ingenieur Automatic Watch 40: A Future Retro High Quality Timepiece
In the 1970s, mechanical watches made a comeback after the quartz storm, with stainless steel luxury watches designed by the renowned watchmaker Gérald Genta gaining popularity. Among these was the iconic “Ingenieur” engineering watch, which set the trend for contemporary watch styles. The IWC Ingenieur Automatic Watch 40 continues this legacy with its sleek design and excellent comfort, suitable for both men and women.
The watch features a silver-plated stainless steel case with a smooth texture, giving it a futuristic retro appearance. The stainless steel case, bezel, and bracelet are polished and satin-finished, creating a high-quality look that evokes a sense of technology and the future.
Available in three colors – black, silver-plated, and aqua blue – the Ingenieur Automatic Watch 40 offers excellent matchability. The “grid” dial is embossed on soft iron, with a retro-futuristic texture that complements the sculptural case. The redesigned bracelet is more ergonomic, fitting well on slender wrists.
Equipped with IWC’s own 32111 movement, the watch boasts a power reserve of up to 120 hours, making it ideal for daily wear. It is also waterproof to 100 meters and features a traditional soft iron inner shell for high anti-magnetic functions.
For those looking for a lighter option, IWC offers a titanium version of the Ingenieur Automatic Watch 40. Titanium is 30% lighter than steel and is known for its strength and durability. The combination of grade 5 titanium with sandblasting, satin, and polishing finishes gives the watch a unique matte gray texture that is both stylish and functional.
With its blend of futuristic design, high-quality materials, and ergonomic features, the IWC Ingenieur Automatic Watch 40 is a must-have timepiece for watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.
