This replica IWC Ingenieur watch is from 2012 and it is one of thousand pieces issued. IWC created the watch to commemorate the successful completion of the "Plastiki" expedition, the brainchild of British adventurer, David de Rothschild and his crew. In 2010, the crew sailed across the Pacific in a one-of-a-kind catamaran, the “Plastiki", held afloat by 12,500 reclaimed plastic bottles. The aim of the mission was to raise awareness to the activation of the many pioneering solutions that are available to us today. The best IWC replica watches at captainthewatch.is.
This 46 mm watch has a stainless steel, round-shaped case, with magnetic field protection up to 80,000 A/m. The case has been recently polished by IWC. The fluted crown is embossed with the IWC Probus Scafusia symbol, and it is protected by guards on the sides. The same goes for the lugs, being shrouded and thus creating a nice curvature to ensure this prominent watch still fits smoothly on the wrist, without any sharp edges. The side of the case is debossed with "ONE OUT OF 1000" while the case-back is engraved with "INTERNATIONAL WATCH CO." and "INGENIEUR EDITION PLASTIKI" around a roundel, with the catamaran and the map of the route the crew took at the centre. The case has a water resistance of 1200 metres. The watch comes on blue rubber straps, with the Ingenieur line's interwinding "I" pattern on both the outside and inside, ending in a stainless steel tang buckle, signed by IWC.
The round, white dial has an outer chapter of blue, painted minute markers and blue, Arabic numerals for every ten seconds. The centre of the dial occupies a deeper level, with an interwinding "I" pattern and applied, silver and blue index markers and applied, Arabic numerals for twelve and six o'clock. The date aperture is located at three o'clock, with blue numbers showing the day of the month. "IWC" and "SCHAFFHAUSEN" are painted in blue below the twelve o'clock, while "INGENIEUR" is referenced above the six o'clock marker, and "SWISS" and "MADE" to the left and right of it. The central hour and minute silver batons have blue ends, while the steel blue seconds marker has an orange triangle pointer on one hand and a counter-balance on the other. This masculine watch has a prominent presence, fit for an adventurer of any type.
The watch carries the Calibre 80110 at its heart. To some extent based on the ETA/Valjoux calibre 7765 but designed and constructed in its entirety by IWC, with their very own Pellaton bi-directional winding system and an integrated shock-absorber. It has a frequency of 28,800 A/h and gives a power reserve of 44 hours.
