In recent days, IWC has launched a new Ingenieur Automatic Watch 42, which is made of black ceramic material, which not only makes the watch look more beautiful, but also greatly improves its durability. Do you want to know how this watch achieves the perfect combination of design and technology? Then read on, it will definitely open your eyes!
Complex ceramic modification technology enhances the beauty and durability of the watch
The complex modification process of the watch, the unremitting exploration of ceramic materials, the high level of detail polishing, the new innovation of IWC, and the new design and technological breakthrough of the Ingenieur Automatic Watch 42.
IWC’s new watch: Ingenieur Automatic 42
April 1, 2025, Geneva. IWC’s new Ingenieur Automatic Watch 42 is officially released. The black ceramic material brings the beauty and durability of the watch to a new level.
IWC’s ceramic innovation and technological pursuit
IWC has always spared no effort in innovating ceramic materials. Black zirconia, white zirconia, aluminate, etc. have been introduced again and again, reflecting the brand’s unremitting pursuit of technology and design.
Design and functions of all-ceramic watches
The launch of the new Ingenieur Automatic Watch 42 made me feel the advanced use of ceramic materials by IWC. It combines an integrated bracelet designed by Gérard Genta with an all-ceramic material, using a new multi-part ceramic case structure.
The new watch is equipped with IWC’s self-made 82110 movement and is equipped with a Pellaton automatic winding system. The automatic balance bearing, balance gear, and winding gear are all made of ceramics and have a 60-hour power reserve.
Design evolution and technological breakthroughs of the Ingenieur watch
IWC’s Engineer series watches have always maintained the brand’s classic elements in design, such as four screws, exposed round lugs, hexagonal blue hands, etc. But every time it is launched, some fine-tuning will be made in the details to adapt to the development of the times and changes in aesthetics. For example, this new model incorporates many breakthroughs in modern technology.
Under the premise of ensuring accuracy and wear resistance, IWC has also made high-load components zirconium oxide ceramic for the first time. This is also the first time that the brand has used zirconium oxide ceramic material extensively in the movement. As a member of the ceramic family, it has excellent strength and hardness, so its extensive use in movements can effectively improve the wear resistance and accuracy of the watch during use.
Structure and water resistance of the Ingenieur Automatic 42
The case of the new Ingenieur Automatic 42 is composed of three parts, the bezel, the bottom of the case, and the back cover. The multi-part structure is used to ensure the thinness of the watch and its 10 bar waterproof performance. At the same time, in order to improve the waterproof performance, the sapphire glass mirror and case back are directly pressed into ceramic components.
Conclusion
This innovation of IWC is really eye-catching, especially the use of ceramic materials, which improves the wear resistance and accuracy of the watch. This kind of design and technological breakthrough is really a great progress in the watch industry! Do you think this kind of watch is worth owning?
