Ingenieur: titanium or black? What do the experts prefer?
Hi IWC fans. I know the choice is up to me, but any thoughts you might have about the titanium vs the black would be appreciated. I’m having a hard time deciding…. ;-) ...
From a purely aesthetic perspective, I prefer the titanium. The hands and indices really pop, and the grey feels a bit less generic than the black.
But how do you feel about the lightness?
I share the same opinion
For some reason the titanium on the wrist helps delivering the genta feel.
I’d go Ti
The grey tones works pretty well, I like the material and sandblast finish. Easy to come by a black dial steel watch.
As you know, I have the Titanium which I love...
But, if it didn't exist, the one that tempted most was the white/silver dial. The fact is, they are all very nice...👍 ...
The white/silver is great, but…
I have this beauty in the collection that isn’t going anywhere, so I feel like the Ti or black, which are both great, fit my collection better ...
I’d get blue
But of your choices I’d get black. More and better contrast against the silver color of the steel
I made my choice a year ago!
This sits alongside the blue dial 15202 AP and white dial 5711 PP in my collection. Despite its texture the dial is inky black and quite spectacular. ...
Yup! That's a good choice...👍
But, I feel the lightweight of the titanium can't be beat.
I prefer the titanium.
Feels more technical on what I suppose is a technical watch. Perhaps prefer the black dial on a vintage version
Congratulations!
I loved the Ingenieur! I haven’t seen the blue yet, and while I own the aqua, I just might get the blue one myself! Wear it in good health mate! I am very much looking forward to see where the line is heading!
