New micro adjustable clasp for IWC Ingenieur
Just installed the new micro adjustable clasp for my Ingeniour Aqua.
I like the single fold clasp compared to the butterfly clasp of the original design. I really wanted the micro adjustment option for the bracelet. There are seven adjustable detents to alter the bracelet length, plenty of range. You can even do the adjustment with the watch on, just press the center IWC rectangle and move the bracelet.
It opens like an Omega speedy bracelet with side tabs. The clasp is bigger compared to the butterfly clasp and some may say it takes away from the bracelet design.It will likely be a scratch magnet.
I often try to close the butterfly clasp the wrong way and it is blocked by the overlying tab. No problems with this clasp. This is easier to use, IMO.
Just want to let people know this option is out there now.

Yes, this is the Brogioli design.
You can find the same on Lange Odysseus and most GOs with steel bracelets like that on the SeaQ.
I recall people mentioning this.
I asked for one when I heard this was coming out. It just arrived and I received it when they showcased the Eternal Calendar this weekend. That is quite a watch! The sapphire crystal makes the watch appear to float in the case.
Glad to see more brands are coming out with fine adjustments!
Now... Chopard. Audemars Piguet. You are next!
Yes, it is.
When closing the clasp, I have pressed the button which allowed the bracelet to slip. I now press closer to the edge of the clasp to close it.
Good to hear it only took until August.
I checked in with my local boutique in May/June, and they said soon. Soon indeed!
