IWC Schaffhausen has a special place in the celebrated and exclusive racing weekend Goodwood Members’ Meeting, held in West Sussex, England. Since 2015, as the Official Timing Partner of the annual Goodwood Members’ Meeting, IWC has released limited edition Ingenieur models every year. Notably coinciding with the launching of the IWC Racing Team, 2018’s 76th anniversary Goodwood Members’ Meeting Special Edition IWC Ingenieur is one that is particularly memorable, both in design and in meaning.
This particular Ingenieur Chronograph Sport features a 69380 caliber automatic movement, a 44mm titanium case, chronograph function with day and date complication, and 46-hour power reserve. The number 76 is visible through the exhibition case back to commemorate the 76th annual Members’ Meeting. The face of the watch takes design cues from the racing dashboard, while the back of the watch is designed to resemble a brake disc, and blue accents on the dial as well as on the calfskin strap capture the spirit of racing. Like all Ingenieur watches, the soft-iron inner case protects the movement from magnetic fields. The IWC Ingenieur Goodwood Members’ Meeting Special Edition is limited to 176 pieces.
