Brand: IWC Schaffhausen | Model: Ingenieur Automatic 50th Anniversary | Reference: IW328910, IW324909 | Category: Luxury Sports Watch / Anniversary Edition | Release Year: 2026
Last updated: September 15, 2026
The IWC Ingenieur Automatic 50th Anniversary celebrates five decades of Gérald Genta’s influential Ingenieur SL design. Offered in 40 mm and 35 mm sizes, both editions feature vertically brushed silver-plated dials and integrated stainless-steel bracelets.
The anniversary dial draws inspiration from a rare brushed silver-plated version of the original 1976 Ingenieur SL Ref. 1832. A subtle “50” replaces the traditional lightning-bolt symbol beneath the Ingenieur name, while the two case sizes offer distinctly different movements, casebacks and bracelet finishing.
Each size is limited to 1,150 pieces, producing 2,300 watches across the anniversary release. The Gérald Genta connection, historically inspired silver-plated dial and numbered production should support collector interest, although the relatively large combined edition size may moderate short-term scarcity.
