At the core of the Ingenieur Automatic 40 Ref. IW328904 lies the 32111 Calibre, an in-house manufactured movement that is a testament to IWC's expertise in precision engineering. This automatic, self-winding movement is equipped with an impressive 120-hour power reserve, ensuring the watch remains functional and accurate over an extended period. It consists of 164 components and 21 jewels, operating at a frequency of 28'800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), a feature that guarantees reliable timekeeping. Additionally, the watch includes a central hacking seconds for precise time adjustments and a date display for added functionality. A key aspect of this model is the soft-iron inner case, which provides crucial protection against magnetic fields, reflecting the Ingenieur line's heritage as a watch for technical professionals. The sapphire glass is convex and coated with an anti-reflective layer on both sides, ensuring durability and clear visibility. Moreover, the glass is secured against displacement by air pressure drops, highlighting IWC's attention to detail and commitment to creating watches that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also robust and reliable. The Ingenieur Automatic 40 Ref. IW328904 is a fine example of IWC's ability to blend cutting-edge materials with elegant design, resulting in a timepiece that is both distinctive and practical.
