The '''Ingenieur Automatic''' (Ref. 3570) is [[IWC]]'s main entry in the [[IWC Ingenieur|Ingenieur]] line from [[2017]].

==Overview==

Both [[Rolex]] and IWC saw the need for a [[engineer|watch for engineers and scientists]] in the 1950s, combining rugged [[automatic]] movements, [[water-resistant]] cases, and [[anti-magnetic]] concepts in the [[Rolex Milgauss]] and this IWC Ingenieur. The concept has remained for over 50 years, with the [[IWC Ingenieur|IWC Ingenieur family]] spawning many models, including an iconic redesign by famed designer [[Genta, Gerald|Gerald Genta]], a pivot to [[motor racing]], and the use of exotic materials like [[titanium]] and [[ceramic]].

IWC re-launched the Ingenieur line in [[2005]] with the in-house [[IWC 80111|Cal. 80111]] [[IWC Ingenieur Automatic 3227|Ref. 3227 Ingenieur Automatic]], styled like Genta's original [[IWC Ingenieur SL|Ingenieur SL]] before going "Vintage" with the successor, [[IWC Ingenieur Automatic 3233|Ref. 3233 Ingenieur]]. But neither of these achieved the sales success of other Ingenieur models, so IWC rebooted the line again for [[2013]] with a high-tech but affordable basic Ingenieur model, [[IWC Ingenieur Automatic 3239|Ref. 3239]].

With the ending of the [[IWC Ingenieur Mercedes AMG|IWC Mercedes AMG partnership]] imminent, the brand turned away from the racing-style models that dominated since [[2013]] and returned to the "Vintage" look first explored in [[2008]] with the [[IWC Ingenieur Automatic 3233|Ref. 3233 Ingenieur]]. All traces of Genta's [[IWC Ingenieur SL|Ingenieur SL]] were eliminated, along with any of the sport wedge styling of Ref. 3239. Simple bar markers and lume pips decorate a simple sunburst dial with [[sword hands]]. Instead of the "INGENIEUR" logo found on every previous model, Ref. 3570 simply says "AUTOMATIC" above the marker at 6:00, and there is no anti-magnetic inner core like most previous models.

Like Ref. 3239, the movement is no longer an in-house design. "[[IWC 35111|Cal. 35111]]" is based on the [[Sellita]] [[SW 300|SW300-1]], itself based on the [[ETA 2892-2]]. This Ingenieur Automatic is available in [[stainless steel] with or without a steel bracelet (Ref. IW357002 and IW357001, respectively) or in [[red gold]] with a leather strap (Ref. IW357003).

==2017 Ingenieur Range==

The Ingenieur lineup was wiped clean in [[2017]] with four new models introduced, all in "vintage" cases and lacking the Ingenieur logo. The basic Ingenieur model is the [[IWC Ingenieur Automatic 3570|Ingenieur Automatic, Ref. 3570]], which is joined by the three chronograph models, [[IWC Ingenieur Chronograph 3808|Ref. 3808]], [[IWC Ingenieur Chronograph Sport 3809|Ref. 3809]], and [[IWC Ingenieur Chronograph Sport 3812|Ref. 3812]]. The top of the range is the [[IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month|Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month, Ref. 3817]].
