That Ingenieur dial is mesmerizing!
In black, I suspect the texture probably varies from strong to imperceptible depending on the light conditions (?)
So here’s my three 21st century releases of the 1970’s Genta stainless sports watches.
I just received the 2023 release of the Ingenieur late last week. A friend in the trade mentioned that IWC have been slow in rolling these out. My local IWC AD had 3 stainless models come in (one in each color) and I had asked for the black dial. Since I ...
Thanks!
