About this reference
The IWC Ingenieur Automatic IW322702 was produced between approximately 2005 and 2008 as a limited edition of 1,000 pieces. This reference is distinguished by its 42.5mm case constructed from titanium with a bezel and crown guards made of boron carbide, a ceramic material noted for its extreme hardness. Collectors value the model for its use of the in-house caliber 80110, which features the Pellaton winding system and an integrated shock absorption mechanism. The dial is black with a textured "I" pattern and lacks the "AMG" branding found on other contemporary collaborations. On the secondary market, the IW322702 typically trades between $6,000 and $9,000 depending on condition and the presence of original accessories. A notable production detail is that this was the first time IWC utilized boron carbide, a material more commonly used in tank armor and industrial abrasives, in watchmaking.
