Its soft-iron inner cage—essentially a Faraday cage—protected the movement from magnetism, while the efficient Pellaton winding system ensured reliability. A true technical watch, created with purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"293\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"645\"\u003eBy the 1970s, the watch world was changing. In the midst of the Quartz Crisis, IWC turned to Gérald Genta to reimagine the Ingenieur. The result was the Ingenieur SL—a bold evolution, introducing an industrial aesthetic with a distinctive bezel, integrated bracelet, and a design language that still feels remarkably modern today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"645\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"977\"\u003eThe example presented here, reference 3505, captures that spirit beautifully. Executed in a combination of steel and 18k gold, the 34 mm case wears larger than its dimensions might suggest—thanks to the slim bezel, expansive dial, and integrated bracelet. The case remains in lovely, strong condition, featuring a screw-down case back and the signature “fish” crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"977\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1345\"\u003eThe IWC-signed H-link bracelet is equally well preserved and comfortably fits wrists up to approximately 18 cm, completing the watch’s balanced and cohesive presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1345\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1513\"\u003eBut it is the dial that truly draws you in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1513\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1558\"\u003eFinished in a beautiful champagne tone, it features a distinctive “paper graph” motif that plays subtly with the light. Black-topped, boat-shaped hour markers, crisp black printed text, and a date at 3 o’clock keep the design both functional and elegant, while the lume has aged to a warm cream hue—adding just the right amount of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1558\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1901\"\u003eWhat truly sets this watch apart, however, is the presence of the Khanjar and crossed-swords crest—the national emblem of Oman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1901\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"2030\"\u003eThis particular piece was commissioned by Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who ruled Oman from 1970 until 2020.
