The anti-magnetic features also explain the logo of the Ingenieur: a stylish electric current symbol behind the word Ingenieur. If you look at current watches with anti-magnetic features, many still have the same level of anti-magnetic protection. Thus, the Ingenieur line was launched with this specific target group in mind.Īt the time, the first model may have looked like a pretty standard and fairly simple watch, but with water resistance to 100 meters and anti-magnetic protection up to 80,000 A/m (better known as 1,000 Gauss), it was an impressive watch. This was especially true for people in technical professions, who could benefit greatly from having a watch that was shielded from such influences. With modernization in full swing, more and more magnetic fields arose due to the ever-increasing use of motors and machines. The IWC pilot’s watches, which already had anti-magnetic features, predated the Ingenieur. Vintage IWC Schaffhausen Ingenieur 666 – View offers on Chrono24
