Really love this blue version! 👍🏻
I owned the Aqua dial for several months. The dial texture is interesting, the case shape and integrated bracelet are cool and it’s comfortable to wear. I can see its appeal for a daily (that’s not a Rolex) If I am going to buy pre-owned, for about the same price , I’m going with my blue Laureato 38 mm. So I kept the GP and sold the IWC. For me, the edge goes to GP because the movement is more special, I like the case shape, bezel & bracelet more and it fits my 7 inch wrist better
Ingenieur
For current owners, what are your impressions? I've read some reviews on this forum, and generally all positive. I'm looking for a nice daily that is durable and not the same-old Rolex. Credit Monochrome ...
I thoguth the dial looked kinda cheap relative to the old dial. The pattern on the ingenieur dial doesn't look awesome IRL.
But...I still really want the new gold one lol.
Exactly. Great question. Also - how is the bracelet
comfort really? Who all has the best bracelet?
Yes!! I love green and think the rose gold on the dial goes
well. I just want to see the color in person and try it on. I also really really like that they matched the date window color and did not make it white.
It is truly beautiful, but I can't help but say that it is overpriced.
I have the Aqua Timer, which has the same caliber and it costs +- half as much. Accuracy rather poor. My honest opinion.
Same thoughts than aWtchslvr for me regarding the movement.
I had a conversation once with the watchmaker from the IWC Geneva boutique and he told me the 32000 family movement are not as good as the 82000 family which is equipped with the Palleton technology. If you look at the new releases you will find a 42 mm o...

I tried the Ti version and it is as expected very light
I would probably go with the blue dial but the value proposition is not there IMO
I like the Ti option
Yet to handle one but the tonal look really fits this generations design language.
Last April
I was all up in arms to see it when it finally came to Oslo last April. My intrigue with the Ingenieur-line was mainly because of Genta stamp. I had seen the former renditions of it, but I preferred the 70s version. I went to the boutique to take a look a...
Love Mine
Mine has become my daily, and I feel a lot more comfortable wearing it in a big city than I do some of my other watches. Also gets a lot of complements from non watch people who don't care if it has the same movement as the Mark XX blah blah blah. Only co...
They are rectifying this in may
They will introduce and adjustment clasp ,this coming may.
They have one already can order from iwc.com I believe
Not double fold but is similar to the Odysseus one IIRC
Not Great Looking
That clasp ruins the beauty of the bracelet. They need an extending end link, and they don't need to look that far for it, the Richemont Group has the Vacheron Overseas within it for example.
Which is why I didn't go for it...
It also is rather expensive. Especially in titanium. Instead, I had a 1.5 link added which works just fine. ...
Happy owner
I’ve had my blue for a month and LOVE it. Super comfortable, wears and looks great. A sporty and chic watch with Genta roots and without any distractions. The movement is very accurate and the watch’s finishing is superb. I can wear it anywhere without mu...
My daily…
Love the versatile black ceramic case - swimmable - light and no scratches! ...
It's a time only movement with a date function
I'm not really sure the movement is the most important consideration here. These can be easily had on the secondary market for between 7 to 8k, which is a much better value proposition, IMO
