2025 IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40mm Titanium IW328904

Here we have a 2025 IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40mm Titanium IW328904. This watch's design draws inspiration from the legendary Ingenieur SL Reference 1832 created by visionary designer Gérald Genta in the 1970s, modernising the iconic integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch formula. The 40mm Grade 5 titanium case curves over your wrist, featuring a rugged, matte-grey appearance with striking satin-finished and polished surfaces that transition with crisp lines. A compact lug-to-lug length of 46mm and a remarkably slim case thickness of 10.5mm give the watch an incredibly ergonomic and lightweight wrist presence. Down the right side, we have newly designed, prominent crown guards protecting a screw-in signed crown in the centre. The characteristic fixed bezel is secured directly to the case by five functional, polygonal screws, precisely executed so they always sit in the exact same, symmetrical positions. The flat sapphire crystal, AR-coated on both sides, is set above a captivating grey dial that features a distinct "Grid" structure, replicating the technical and industrial tone of the original Genta designs. An outer minute track is precisely marked, complemented by rhodium-plated appliqué baton indexes filled with modern Super-LumiNova marking the hours. At 3 o’clock, a neat, black-on-white date window offers everyday practicality. The central hour and minute hands are executed in a matching rhodium-plated finish with luminous infills, complemented by a sharp, sweeping central seconds hand. At noon, the printed IWC motif sits proudly, with “Ingenieur” in its historic cursive script beneath it. On the reverse, a solid, screw-down titanium case back protects the inner workings from magnetic fields, true to the Ingenieur's historical purpose as a tool for scientists and engineers. Inside beats the automatic IWC Cal. 32111, featuring a bidirectional pawl-winding system and an impressive, robust 120-hour (5-day) power reserve. This highly efficient movement operates at 28,800 beats per hour and is finely adjusted for precision and performance. The watch comes paired with an integrated 24mm titanium bracelet featuring H-links with polished bevels and a hidden, secure folding clasp; all links are provided. The watch comes complete with its original IWC presentation box and paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original IWC presentation box and original IWC paperwork. The watch was purchased in July 2025. The watch comes paired with an integrated 24mm titanium bracelet featuring H-links with polished bevels and a hidden, secure folding clasp; all links are provided. As you can see from the photos, it is worn, but overall it is in very fair condition. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

This is easily my favourite of the new Ingenieur models. The monochromatic look just works perfectly, the natural grey tone of the titanium flows beautifully into the textured grey dial and integrated bracelet, giving the whole watch a really cohesive, purposeful feel. The fit and feel are equally impressive. Titanium keeps it incredibly light on the wrist, while the 40mm case, short 46mm lug-to-lug and slim profile make it exceptionally comfortable. For me, this feels like exactly what a modern Ingenieur should be. You can clearly see the DNA of Genta’s original design, but rather than simply recreating the past, IWC has turned it into something that feels thoroughly modern. Snap up this brilliant watch and add it to your collection today!

In 1867, a passionate visionary named Florentine embarked on a quest to revolutionise the art of watchmaking in Europe by applying for a passport. Fueled by the ambition to craft timepieces using the innovative American system of watchmaking, he drew inspiration from the renowned Federal Armouries at Springfield and Harpers Ferry. This meticulous system was designed for armaments requiring precision-engineered interchangeable parts—an ideal match for the world of horology. As a true pioneer, Florentine was instrumental in introducing this groundbreaking approach to the Swiss watchmaking industry. By 1868, Florentine had arrived in the picturesque town of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, where he teamed up with Charles Kidder. Together, they founded a company originally named F. A. Jones & Co. This name would evolve into the iconic IWC International Watch Company, a brand that would come to symbolise excellence in watchmaking. In 1876, after years of dedication, Florentine returned to the United States, where he eventually retired, leaving behind a legacy that lasted until his passing in 1916. The year 1885 marked a significant milestone for IWC with the launch of the first pocket watches featuring a revolutionary digital hours and minutes display known as the Pallweber system. As time progressed, the company continued to break new ground, producing one of the first ladies' wristwatches in 1899, showcasing IWC's commitment to innovation and inclusivity in horological design. In 1905, Ernst Jakob Homberger took over IWC's management on behalf of Rauschenbach's heirs, eventually becoming the sole owner after acquiring C.G. Jung's holdings in 1929. The following years saw remarkable advancements, such as the introduction of IWC's first pilot's watch in 1936, which featured a clever rotating bezel and indicator to log take-off times. The iconic Portuguese watch was designed in 1939, followed closely by the creation of the Big Pilot 52T SC, which catered to a growing demand for larger timepieces with a central second hand. During the tumultuous times of World War II, IWC introduced its first W.W.W. military watch in 1944, specifically crafted for the British military. Four years later, the Pilot's Watch Mark 11 was designed, incorporating an iron cage to protect against magnetic fields. A pivotal moment came in 1950 when Albert Pellaton unveiled the Calibre 85, IWC's first automatic movement featuring an innovative patented pawl-winding system. In 1955, Hans Ernst Homberger became the last private owner of IWC, continuing the legacy of craftsmanship and innovation. The late 1960s brought new challenges with the quartz crisis; however, IWC managed to adapt and evolve. In 1967, they launched the Aquatimer dive watch, and in collaboration with other Swiss brands, they participated in the development of the Beta 21 quartz movement in 1969. The renowned watch designer Gerald Genta made his mark in 1976 with the creation of the iconic Ingenieur, symbolising elegance and engineering prowess. A significant shift occurred in 1978 when German instrument manufacturer VDO Adolf Schindling AG acquired IWC, marking a new era for the brand. During this time, F. A. Porsche designed a groundbreaking chronograph, recognised as the world's first timepiece encased in titanium, a material primarily used in the aviation industry. The spirit of innovation that Florentine nurtured throughout his life continues to resonate in modern IWC watches. In 1990, the company unveiled a horological masterpiece: the Grand Complication, featuring a perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and moon phase indicator—a true testament to IWC's craftsmanship.
