IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 black dial stainless steel bracelet 40 mm

The return of a legendary sports watch

The Ingenieur Automatic 40 marks the return of one of IWC's greatest icons. Inspired by Gérald Genta's legendary Ingenieur SL Ref. 1832 from the 1970s, it faithfully preserves the distinctive round bezel with five functional screws, the integrated stainless steel bracelet and the sculptural case architecture. Every proportion has been refined to deliver exceptional ergonomics and outstanding comfort on the wrist.

A bold black Grid-pattern dial

The deep black dial features the signature "Grid" pattern that defines the modern Ingenieur collection. Stamped directly into a soft-iron blank before the finishing process, this geometric texture creates remarkable depth and dynamic reflections. Rhodium-plated hands and applied Super-LumiNova® hour markers ensure outstanding legibility in all lighting conditions, while the date display blends seamlessly into the dial.

The IWC manufacture calibre 32111

Powering the watch is the IWC manufacture calibre 32111 with an efficient automatic pawl-winding system delivering an impressive 120-hour power reserve. Staying true to the Ingenieur's engineering heritage, a soft-iron inner case protects the movement from magnetic fields, ensuring exceptional precision and long-term reliability.

Built for modern everyday performance

The stainless steel case, bezel and integrated bracelet combine polished and satin-brushed finishes that highlight IWC Schaffhausen's exceptional craftsmanship. Water-resistant to 10 bar, fitted with a double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a redesigned crown guard, the Ingenieur Automatic 40 is engineered to perform effortlessly in every environment.
