The IWC “mid-size” Ingenieur ref. 4515 was introduced in the mid-2000s. It features a 34mm case that’s just 10mm thick, with the signature five-hole bezel and integrated bracelet design. The simple white textured dial, with baton markers (except at 6 and 12), a date window at 3 o’clock, and the Ingenieur signature at 6, perfectly represents what we love about IWC: understated, utilitarian, yet unmistakably high quality in the hand.

The watch has been kept in fantastic condition over the past two decades. The case has only been lightly polished, with minor hairlines visible, while the dial remains perfect
