IWC Marks 50 Years of Genta’s Ingenieur SL with Two Limited Editions

IWC Schaffhausen has released two limited-edition Ingenieur Automatic watches to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Ingenieur SL, designed by Gérald Genta. The new 40mm and 35mm models feature a vertically brushed silver-plated dial inspired by a rare vintage variant, replacing the standard grid pattern. The 40mm version includes a soft-iron inner case for magnetic protection and a 120-hour power reserve, while the 35mm model offers a sapphire caseback and 42-hour reserve. Both are limited to 1,150 pieces and priced between EUR 12,800 and EUR 14,700.

"Expert Review: IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40"

IWC Schaffhausen has reissued the iconic sports steel watch, Ingenieur SL "Jumbo", Reference 1832, designed by Gerald Genta in 1976. The new Ingenieur Automatic 40 is available in three different dial colours and a titanium model, and features enhanced ergonomics, a re-engineered, movable middle-link attachment, and a functional polygonal screw bezel. The watch is a faithful and more sophisticated looking reproduction of Genta's design, with a shortened lug-to-lug distance of 45.7mm translating into a snug and light fit. The watch is super wearable and has gender-neutral appeal.
