The new IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 ref. IW328908 with green dial draws inspiration from Apple Original Films' F1, in which character Sonny Hayes—a former driver returning to Formula One alongside young teammate Joshua Pearce—wears a custom timepiece based on the historical Ingenieur SL, Reference 1832. This distinctive prop watch, featuring a green dial representing Hayes' signature color, was the blueprint for this special edition.
Limited to just 1000 pieces, this exceptional timepiece pairs a 40 mm stainless steel case and bracelet with a ‘Grid/checkered flag’—patterned green dial adorned with gold appliques—mirroring the color scheme Hayes wore in the film. The golden hands and gold-coated metal markers are filled with Super-LumiNova for optimal visibility in any environment.
The watch showcases the iconic Ingenieur bezel design, secured to the case ring with five functional screws. Its integrated bracelet with butterfly folding clasp connects seamlessly to the case through the middle links, providing superior comfort during wear.
Turning the watch over reveals a big difference between this new model and the other newish IWC Ingenieur watches: This watch is fitted with a solid case back, like the Ingenieur's vintage references.
This special edition is powered by the IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre, which delivers an impressive 120-hour power reserve. The watch maintains 10 bar water resistance and honors the Ingenieur tradition with a soft-iron inner case that effectively shields the movement from magnetic fields.
On the wrist, the watch wears impeccably.
