IWC Vintage Collection Ingenieur Automatic IW323301

My new watch from www.AceJewelers.com :)

 

If the 8521 calibre in the first Ingenieur was a byword for ruggedness and reliability – and created a furore among watch lovers – the IWC-manufactured 80000-calibre family with Pellaton winding and integrated shock absorption system is its natural development. This ultra-precise and robust mechanism is also the driving force behind the IWC Vintage Collection Ingenieur watches. Under the antireflective, arched-edge sapphire glass encircled by the 42.5-millimetre case is a superbly reduced dial with dot-and-line markers – the dot is luminescent – and dauphine hands. The modern version of this monument in the history of watchmaking omits the soft-iron case featured in the historic original but does provide an impressive view of the IWC-manufactured movement. Thanks to a screw-in crown, the Ingenieur Automatic is water-resistant to 12 bar and equipped to meet all the exacting demands of modern-day life.
