3061 - IWC · INGENIEUR

IWC · INGENIEUR Ref. 866A · ca. 1969 · Stainless steel · 37 mm Before the Ingenieur took on its angular design, it was round. The small lightning bolt on the dial of the 866A says it all: soft iron shields the movement from magnetic fields, while the Pellaton winding mechanism keeps it running smoothly. Schaffhausen engineering at its finest—technically sophisticated, design-wise understated, and all the more sought-after today.
