Schaffhausen, 6 July 2026: IWC Schaffhausen presents a new variant of the Ingenieur Automatic 35 featuring an eye-catching dial in a new shade called Pool. Refreshing and aquatic, this new color casts the Ingenieur’s signature clean architecture in a new light. The 35-millimeter stainless steel case and integrated bracelet ensure high wearing comfort, while an elaborate combination of satin-finished and polished surfaces plays beautifully with light at any hour of the day – or night.

In 1976, legendary Geneva artist and watch designer Gérald Genta created the Ingenieur SL, Reference 1832. Revolutionary for its purity of form and the boldness of its presence, it announced the birth of an entirely new product category within the watch industry. Half a century on, the stainless steel luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet has lost none of its luster. In 2023, IWC Schaffhausen brought back Gérald Genta’s visionary design with the Ingenieur Automatic 40. While honoring the original’s distinct aesthetic, the model was comprehensively re-engineered to meet the highest standards of ergonomics and finishing. The Swiss luxury watchmaker has since then continuously expanded the collection. A milestone came with the Ingenieur Automatic 35 – a more compact model in a 35-millimeter case size. Now, IWC Schaffhausen adds a new chapter with a surprising Pool-colored dial. |

A FASCINATING PLAY OF LIGHT ACROSS EVERY SURFACE |
“Our new Pool color is a fresh, radiant aquatic shade that feels made for summer – and it brings a surprising and vibrant new expression to the Ingenieur. The dial captures light in a beautiful way, and it perfectly complements the clean lines and the refined proportions of the Genta-inspired integrated bracelet design,” explains Christian Knoop, Creative Director at IWC Schaffhausen.
