IWC Ingenieur Automatic Ref. IW328901 – 40mm Stainless Steel with Black Dial on Stainless Steel Bracelet

The IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40mm in stainless steel with a black dial embodies the purest expression of IWC’s industrial design DNA — a perfect equilibrium of precision engineering, architectural geometry, and modern elegance. It revisits the bold, technical aesthetic pioneered by Gérald Genta in the 1970s, now reimagined with refined ergonomics and contemporary finishing.

The 40mm stainless steel case, defined by its angular silhouette and five functional bezel screws, exudes strength and symmetry. Its integrated stainless steel bracelet — with alternating brushed and polished links — ensures seamless flow from case to wrist, accentuating its sculptural character. The black dial, adorned with the Ingenieur’s iconic embossed grid pattern, radiates depth and sophistication, subtly shifting with light. Luminous hands and indexes enhance readability, while a date window at 3 o’clock integrates with precision.

At the heart of the watch beats the IWC-manufactured Calibre 32111 automatic movement, offering a 120-hour (5-day) power reserve and anti-magnetic protection through a soft-iron inner cage — a hallmark of the Ingenieur line. The transparent sapphire caseback reveals the movement’s fine mechanics, underscoring IWC’s dedication to functional artistry.

The result is a masterstroke of form and performance — a luxury sports watch that fuses mechanical rigor with contemporary design ethos.
