IWC has added a new "pool color" model to its Ingenieur Automatic 35 collection. Combining an ergonomically designed bracelet with an integrated 35mm diameter case and a cool, water-inspired dial, this timepiece is designed to adorn the wrist of anyone, regardless of gender.
New Pool Colors added to the "Ingenieur Automatic 35"
The current "Ingenieur" collection, launched in 2023, traces its roots back to the "Ingenieur SL" designed by Gerald Genta in 1976. Featuring an ergonomically designed integrated bracelet, it is positioned as the brand's flagship luxury sports watch. A new color called "Pool Color" has been added to its 35mm diameter model.
Automatic movement (Cal. 47110). 28,800 vibrations/hour. 23 jewels. Power reserve approximately 42 hours. Stainless steel case (35.1mm diameter, 9.4mm thickness). 10 ATM water resistance. 1,765,500 yen (tax included).
This new color, a shade somewhere between light blue and green, is characterized by a refreshing quality reminiscent of sparkling water. Furthermore, its combination with the Ingenieur's signature lustrous grid pattern creates a sense of depth. The indices and hands are also treated with rhodium plating and Super-LumiNova, and the contrast with the dial's texture ensures excellent legibility.
The "Ingenieur Automatic 35" series, to which this model belongs, condenses the design codes of the Ingenieur, which were established in the 40mm diameter model, into a compact size of 35mm in diameter and 9.4mm in thickness. There are no changes to the specifications except for the dial color, and the surface finish and functionality are the same as in previous models.
The stainless steel case, water-resistant to 10 atmospheres, the bezel secured with five screws, and the integrated bracelet feature a skillful combination of polished and satin finishes, creating a striking contrast in texture. In particular, the bracelet, with its closely spaced H-shaped links, fits flexibly to the wrist, greatly contributing to a comfortable wearing experience.
The movement is the same Cal.47110 as in previous models. It boasts a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, and the gold-plated rotor and the workings of the heart of the movement can be admired through the transparent case back.
