1955年に誕生した「インヂュニア」はパイロットウォッチ マークXI(11)を民生用へと改良したものでした。
自動巻きムーブメントを搭載し、軟鉄製のインナーケースを備えたことで非常に高い耐磁性と耐衝撃、防水性が大きな特徴でした。
この時計は1993年に登場し、2000年まで生産されたモデルでラグジュアリースポーツ感のあるデザインが際立ちます。
その理由はこの時計がジェラルド・ジェンタによってデザインされたものだからです。
ジェラルド・ジェンタはパテック フィリップのノーチラスやオーデマ・ピゲのロイヤルオーク、同じIWCのヨットクラブをデザインしたデザイナーでその後の時計デザインに非常に大きな影響を与えました。
現在、ヴィンテージのノーチラスやロイヤルオークは非常に高価で簡単には手が出ない代物となっていますが、このインヂュニアはまだそれほど注目されていないと感じます。
リューズガードのないシンプルなデザインながら、ケース、ラグ、ブレスレットのラインが流れるようで非常に洗練された印象を受けます。
光沢のあるブラックのダイアルとゴールドのインデックス、ペンシルハンドも高級感のある組み合わせです。
34mmというケースサイズはやや小振りですが、腕に付けた時にはもう少し大きく見えるかなと思います。
こういったデザインの時計でこのサイズ感のものは非常に少ないので、そういう意味では貴重なモデルですね。
ムーブメントはジャガールクルトのCal.889/2をベースとした機械が搭載されています。
このCal.889/2はジャガールクルトのマスターコントロール、オーデマ・ピゲのロイヤルオーク、ヴァシュロン・コンスタンタンのパトリモニーにも採用された評価の高いムーブメントです。
軟鉄製のインナーケースで守られているため磁気帯びの心配は無く、また日常使いでの衝撃も気にすること無くお使い頂けるかと思います。
IWCにてコンプリートサービス、ポリッシュ済みのため機械の調子、外装も素晴らしく綺麗な状態です。

【Description】
The Ingenieur was the civilian version of the Mark XI (11) pilot’s watch, created in 1955.
Equipped with a self-winding movement and a soft-iron inner case, the Ingenieur was characterized by high levels of protection against magnetic fields, shock and water resistance.
This watch was introduced in 1993 and was produced until 2000. The design of this watch stands out for its luxury sports to feel.
The reason for this is that the watch was designed by Gerald Genta.
Gerald Genta designed the Nautilus for Patek Philippe, the Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet and the Yacht Club for IWC, and was a major influence on watch design in the years to come.
Today, vintage Nautilus and Royal Oak watches are very expensive and hard to come by, but I feel the Ingenieur has not yet received the attention it deserves.
The lines of the case, lugs and bracelet are fluid and very refined, despite the simple design without a crown guard.
The glossy black dial, gold markers and pencil hands are also a luxurious combination.
At 34mm, the case size is a bit small, but I think it looks a bit larger on the wrist.
Because one of these size feelings is very few in the watch of such a design, it is a valuable model in that sense.
The movement is equipped with the machine based on Cal.889/2 of Jaeger-Le Coultre .
This movement is used for Master Control for Jaeger-LeCoultre and Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak and Vacheron Constantin for their Patrimony. A highly appreciated movement.
Protected by a soft-iron inner case, it can be used without worrying about the shocks of daily use.
It comes with an international warranty (with domestic purchase markings) and a chronometer certificate.
【Warranty】
The watch would be completely serviced by our watchmaker after your order.
It takes about 4 weeks to complete. It comes with a 1-year warranty.

Our stance is that "customers can use good products with peace of mind for a long time."
In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.
How well the work is done depends largely on the thoughts of the craftsman.
The watchmakers who Arbitro asks are craftsmen who do not cut corners in such areas, so we ask them to carry out the repair work with peace of mind.
About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
