As is well known, carbon fiber is ideally suited for use in motor racing. IWC Schaffhausen has utilized the unique properties of this material, which is twice as strong as steel but only a fifth of the weight, and integrated it into the construction of its Rolex Replica watches cases.

The Ingenieur Automatic Carbon Performance Ceramic is a piece of high-tech engineering with a carbon-fiber case and, as a new feature in this model, also has a mirror-finished ceramic bezel. The middle section of the case, which is held together by five screws, is manufactured according to the same principle as the core features of a racing car.

The watch’s dial is also made of carbon fibre. It fits perfectly with the authentic motorsport look and gives the Swiss Replica Watches a visual sense of depth. For other parts of the case, IWC designers likewise took their inspiration from the materials used in motor racing. Ceramic for the bezel, screw heads, crown and crown protection, titanium for the screws and case-back ring, and rubber for the underside of the strap with its calfskin inlay.

The strap is sewn with green thread as an allusion to the stripes on the outer walls of the tyres fitted to the cars for racing in wet conditions.

The IWC-manufactured 80110-calibre movement is one of the company’s most rugged and thoroughly tested movements and, thanks to its integrated shock-absorption system, is unaffected by extreme acceleration or sharp braking manoeuvres and vibrations, making it the ideal Rolex Replica watches for racingdrivers. Perfectly in keeping with the design is the rotor, which is shaped like the pistons found in a Formula One racing car.

The Ingenieur Automatic Carbon Performance is available in a limited edition of 1,000.
