IWC launches ingenieur automatic robust for the Middle East
Ingenieur 3227 With Magnetic Protection In Stainless Steel or Platinum Continue To be Available
IWC Shaffhausen. the luxury Swiss watch manufacturer, has launched the new Ingenieur 40 mm in stainless steel case with an integrated IWC bracelet system, fitted with the 80111 calibre manufactory movement.
The new timepiece follows in the tracks of the old ideal, the simple but perfect mechanical watch, which exhibits three hands, a date display and nothing else. The new Ingenieur Automatic, Ref. 3228, does without the extreme protection against magnetic fields, which demonstrates its utility above all in activities involving high magnetic field strengths.
However, the Ingenieur Ref. 3227 in stainless steel or titanium, as well as the family of pilot’s watches with protection against magnetic fields, continue to offer this facility.
The appeal of the new Insignieur Automatic is as a less specialized, and therefore significantly lighter and slimmer everyday watch with mechanical qualities which are concealed in its movement, foremost among these are the automatic Pellaton winding system and the built-in shock absorbing system with the spring-mounted and additionally buffered rotor. With these measures in place, this watch is one of the robust watches currently produced in the world. These innovative technical features are used exclusively by IWC Schaffhausen.
Special attention has also been focussed by the designers on the appearance of the new watch with the silvered dial derives particular depth from the inner circle structured with the small “I” logo of the Ingenieur, which corresponds precisely to the radius of the hour hand. The minutes hand paces out the outer, matt silvered segment with gilded indices.
The central seconds hand is slightly longer and projects a little further into the outer seconds and hours markings.
The IWC bracelet architecture, with its appealing interplay of brushed and polished links, imparts complete harmony to the entity consisting of the watch and the bracelet.
