To achieve a true-to-proportion ceramic translation of the Ingenieur design that is as slim as possible, IWC opted for an innovative multi-part pure ceramic case construction. The case ring, bezel and case back ring are all made of black zirconium oxide ceramic. Even add-on parts like the crown and the crown protection are engineered from this extremely hard and scratch-resistant material. A thin inner titanium ring accommodates the functional screws from the bezel and the case back ring, holds the movement and ensures a high water resistance of 10 bar. This innovative approach enables a ceramic translation that stays perfectly faithful to the original stainless steel Ingenieur design. Connecting to the case via its middle links, the integrated bracelet offers perfect ergonomics. As ceramic is a particularly light material, it is highly comfortable to wear. The black dial features the emblematic “Grid” structure, consisting of small lines and squares. To ensure perfect legibility in all lighting conditions, the black hands and metal markers are filled with Super-LumiNova®. For the Ingenieur Automatic 42, IWC has pushed the boundaries in ceramic finishing with a combination of satin-finishing, sandblasting and polishing. As ceramic ranks among the hardest materials on Earth, this finishing is a complex and time-consuming process that can only be executed using diamond-tipped tools. The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured 82110 calibre. Its Pellaton winding system efficiently converts movements of the oscillating mass in both directions into energy for the mainspring, building up a power reserve of 60 hours. Components that are subject to high stress are made of virtually wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic. The movement can be observed through the tinted sapphire glass case back.

Give your watch a quick check on a regular basis, wiping down the face and bracelet with a soft cloth, checking the leather on a strap, and making sure that the strap or bracelet is firmly attached to the watch face. Also, while many watches are water resistant, few are truly waterproof, so if you find that moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, bring it into your local Ben Bridge store where we can have one of our watchmakers clean it out for you.

Our best advice on watch maintenance is to never attempt do-it-yourself repairs, no matter how handy you are or how good the instructions are on Youtube. Watches are super complex little machines and only an expert watchmaker should be trusted to get a watch back into working condition. Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and can even invalidate factory warranties.

In general, having your watch checked regularly by your Personal Jeweler or watchmaker and serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines should keep it in excellent shape.
