With auto racing in full swing now that summer is here, IWC releases new top-performing Ingenieur watches. As the Official Engineering Partner of the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team, IWC has been inspired to create new and exciting pieces that utilize top-quality sports-related materials and offer important functions.
Among the highlights is the new Ingenieur Automatic Carbon Performance Ceramic (Ref. IW322404) that features materials typically found in motor racing. Created in a limited edition of 1,000 pieces, the watch case is crafted of carbon fiber that is twice as strong as steel, but only 1/5th of the weight.
The watch is also equipped with a mirror-finished ceramic bezel and a carbon fiber dial. Even the screw heads and crown protectors are ceramic, while the screws and caseback ring are crafted of rugged titanium. The calfskin strap is lined with rubber for durability and comfort.
Powered by the IWC-manufactured 80110 caliber with integrated shock absorption system, the watch features a visible rotor in the shape of the pistons found in the Formula One racing car. Sleek yet strong, this watch is a superb rendition of IWC’s technical prowess.
Another strong model in the lineup is the Ingenieur Dual Time (Ref. IW324402) that is a powerful statement maker in a 43mm stainless steel case with a more classic, technically sophisticated look. The current local time is displayed by the hour and minute hands on either a black or silver-plated dial. The second time is indicated by another hand with an arrowhead tip on the outer 24 hour ring. The watch can be advanced or turned backward in one-hour increments. Car racing fans can now cross the international date lines with ease while following their teams globally – or, just use the dual time function for business or pleasure travel.
