At the 2023 Watches & Wonders Geneva exhibition, IWC unveiled the new generation IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40, a tribute to the iconic 1976 creation by Gérald Genta – the Ingenieur SL Ref. 1832. The details of the dial and case incorporate signature elements from this historical model.

The watch is housed in a 40mm titanium case, blending sandblasted and mirror-polished finishes. The redesigned profile creates a softer, more fluid silhouette while maintaining the identity of the original. The case provides 100 meters of water resistance. The bezel is secured with five functional screws, and the lugs and H-link bracelet have been ergonomically improved for wrist comfort.
