IWC debuted the Ingenieur model in 1954, catered to scientists, technicians, and engineers. It was offered with features desirable to those professions, like water resistance and an iron cage for antimagnetic properties, wrapped in a dressy package that worked well with the suit and tie style of the times.
In 1976, the now legendary Gerald Genta redesigned the Ingenieur for IWC, giving the watch its now iconic tonneau case shape with an integrated bracelet and distinctive wide, round bezel with recessed areas for a case tool to open the watch from the front. The watch kept its DNA even with the aesthetic changes, retaining its antimagnetic properties, durability, and precision.
Genta’s original 1976 design is still obvious in the modern sports Ingenieur, the Mission Earth. The case shape, the integrated lugs, the DNA is all there, it’s just been updated. The modern Ingenieur case boasts angular crown guards, polished sharp chamfers mixed with a clean brushed finish, and remaining true to the idea of the original “jumbo”, a large 46mm case. The clean textured dial retains the maximum legibility the model has had since its inception. The rubber strap is curved to hug the wrist and give the watch an undoubtedly sporty look with great wrist presence.
