In recent days, IWC has released a limited edition Ingenieur automatic watch, which is inextricably linked to the upcoming movie “F1®”! Can you imagine that the watch worn by Brad Pitt in the film was also this special edition? The design of the green dial is not random. What kind of story and meaning is hidden behind it? Come and explore the unique charm of this watch!
IWC’s new limited edition
IWC will launch the Ingenieur Automatic Watch 40 green dial special edition in Geneva on April 1, 2025, limited to 1,000 pieces.
In the movie “F1®”, the watch worn by Sony Haye, played by Brad Pitt, is a customized model designed based on the IWC Ingenieur SL series (model 1832). One of its features is the green dial.
Deep linkage between movies and watches
The inspiration for this watch comes from the upcoming movie “F1®” from Apple Original Movies. In the film, Sony Haye, the character played by Brad Pitt, will wear an IWC watch in the film.
“F1®” will be released globally on June 25, 2025.
The combination of technology and design
The new Ingenieur Automatic Watch 40 (model IW328908) is equipped with IWC’s self-made 32111 movement, which has a 120-hour power reserve and 10 bar water resistance. It has a soft iron inner case to protect the movement from the influence of magnetic fields.
The limited edition watch launched this time is exactly the one worn by Sony Haye in the movie “F1®”. Its features include a stainless steel case and bracelet, a green grid pattern dial, gold-plated hour markers and hands, and SuperLumiNova® coating.
Film production team and racing culture
It is worth mentioning that the production team of “F1®” also includes the famous F1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton. He once stated in an interview that he is a fan of IWC and has worn many watches such as the IWC Engineer series and the Portuguese series.
The participation of Lewis Hamilton further increased the authenticity and appeal of the film, and also made the cooperation between IWC and the film a matter of course.
In fact, as early as June 2023, the brand had already announced its cooperation with Apple Original Movies.
The market impact of limited edition watches
It should be noted that the limited edition Ingenieur Automatic Watch 40 launched by IWC this time, with only 1,000 pieces, will become the new favorite of collectors and racing fans.
Back to the watch itself, the green dial not only has a visual impact, but is also closely integrated with the character image, which also enhances its market value.
In addition to the green grid pattern dial, this limited edition watch is also made of fine steel and paired with a chain strap of the same material, which looks very outstanding.
“F1®” movie content overview
The story told in the movie “F1®” is closely related to racing: retired racing driver Sony Haye returns to the F1 arena to compete with current drivers.
The film was shot on location at the F1 Grand Prix, which also gives it a certain sense of reality.
More importantly, the protagonist of the film, Sony Haye, chose to return to racing after retiring. In addition to his superb racing skills, he will also wear a luxury watch as a symbol of status.
As a leader among luxury watch brands, IWC is naturally one of the most suitable choices.
As for the design of the green dial, it is closely related to Sony Haye’s personality, career, lifestyle, etc., and therefore left a deep impression on the audience.
This design not only increases the market value of the watch itself, but also makes it a new sales highlight of IWC.
Conclusion
I think this IWC limited edition watch is really a good choice for collection. It not only has an outstanding appearance, but is also closely connected with popular movies. It will definitely attract the attention of many movie fans and watch fans. What do you think? Is anyone already excited?
