Iwc Aquatimer Vs Iwc Ingenieur

[Chronus]

It's a tough decision.. I like them both. For the genuines I may just lean towards the Aquatimer, I liked the white dial one with gold surrounded markers and hands, and was very limited in availabilty. May have only been available in titanium (fine by me!). I think it used tritium too, and has a unique bezel design.

It was s/s. Had a blued second hand. The lume was mixed at the time it was produced; hands and 12 o'clock indices were tritium and the rest of the dial was luminova. I am not sure if they were still being pruduced when they gave up on the mixed lume dials. I had 2 with the mixed lume and the 12 markers got an ugly yellow compared to the rest of the dial.

They used tritium because of the depths it would go to. The PAM 1000m watches use tritium as well for that reason.

The white dial one was apparently discontinued due to lack of sales. Was this one definitely stainless steel ?

Ingenieur is my choice.

Solid, elegant, well refined, .... just wear it and you understand.
