Yes the date changed very crisp. Although i would like the crown to be a bit bigger and more grippy
It is a bit difficult to hold and turn the smallish crown.
Also, i find it has too many writings. I think "IWC Scaffhausen, chronometer / automatic " should be enough. Make the dial cleaner.
The Little Beast has came back !
Very excited that my Ingenieur crown problem has been fixed by the local watchmaker at my AD. Apparently a part of the crown "click" was slipped out of place. Now a little review : I called it little beast, because, although it is small by today's standar...
Actually, its 80,000 A/m, equal to 1,000 Gauss (1 gauss = 80 A/m)
So it is the same with Rolex millgaus. But far below the Omega 15,000 Gauss with caliber 8xxx. Thanks my friend.
Wow wow wow.
Your review and photos look like they do this beast justice. Enjoy! What was wrong with the crown!
The crown can not set the date and keep turning the hands even in the winding position.
They said a small screw in the crown system was loose.
I have an all steel version I bought NOS
Excellent write up. I love this watch-have loved it for decades. As an aside, when setting the date, I find it has an incredibly satisfying action. The date whips into place with a quiet crispness. Thank you for sharing! Charlie ...

I adore the design of this era's ingeniur
Each year I'm more surprised IWC doesn't release an updated version this reference
IWC keep busy milking the Pilot watch. I dont understand why they fails to see that Ingenieur is a hidden gem
And could be a success as an alternative for Royal oak and Nautilus, if done right.
They will likely release a new Ingenieur based on the original Genta design quite soon.
I am not sure when this will happen but I understand that they were working on the design a few months ago.
