IWC Ingenieur IW328903 1:1 Replica vs. Original

In 2023, IWC introduced a new generation of the Ingenieur series at the Watches & Wonders Geneva exhibition, returning to Gérald Genta’s 1970s design style. The watch features a 40mm diameter case, made with a brushed finish, and has a thickness of 10.7mm. It also offers excellent water resistance.

The dial adopts the “grid” pattern used in the Ingenieur SL series. This effect is achieved by stamping the iron-based dial to create a raised texture, followed by galvanization. The manufacturing process mirrors that of the original.

All external components of the watch case are replicated using CNC technology in a 1:1 ratio, with many parts interchangeable with the original.

Movement options: The V7 factory offers two movement choices for the IWC Ingenieur series. The first is the Swiss SW300 movement (higher price), and the second is the Asian 2892 movement.

The following images compare the green model in detail, as the green dial is most prone to color variations, an issue V7 has resolved well. This article provides detailed disassembly images of each component of this watch, followed by a comparison with the original. Enjoy the detailed review!
