IWC Ingenieur Automatic Carbon Performance watch, limited and numbered edition of 100 pieces, round carbon-fiber case (46mm diameter, 14.5mm thickness) with screw-in crown and transparent case back, black rubber strap with textile inlay, yellow stitching, and titanium buckle, carbon fiber dial with black/luminous hands and index hour markers, date display with crown-activated rapid advance, central hacking seconds, 28 jewel Caliber 80110 self-winding mechanical movement with 44 hours of power reserve, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water resistant to 120 meters.To mark its current cooperation with the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One? Team IWC presents a big new high-tech model with a carbon-fibre case: the Ingenieur Automatic Carbon Performance. The middle section of the case, which is held together by five screws, is manufactured using the same principle as the monocoque of a racing car: the fibre matting is soaked in epoxy resin and shaped to the desired form before being baked at high temperature and pressure. The resin is cured in the meantime. The dial too is made of carbon fibre. It goes perfectly with the authentic Formula One look and gives the watch a profiled, three-dimensional surface. Carbon is only one-fifth the weight of steel, but does not have its resistance to impacts or scratching. For other parts of the case, IWC designers also took inspiration from the materials used in motorsport?s leading discipline. Ceramic for the screw heads, the crown and crown protection, titanium for the screws and case-back ring, and rubber for the strap with textile inlay. The strap is stitched with a signal yellow or red nylon thread reminiscent of the yellow stripes on the outer walls of the soft slicks and the red stripes found on the super-soft slicks. Thanks to its integrated shock-absorption system, the IWC-manufactured 80110-calibre movement is unaffected by extreme acceleration as well as sharp braking manoeuvres and vibrations, making it the perfect watch for racing drivers. Perfectly in keeping with the design of the rotor, which is shaped like pistons.
