The IWC Ingenieur Flyback Chronograph ref. IW378511 is a very special watch named “Silver Arrow” or Silberpfeil (auf deutsch) after the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow racing cars of the 1930s, which were known for their sleek and aerodynamic design. The watch is also a nod to IWC’s history, as the brand has a long association with motorsports, particularly with the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow racing team. The design of the watch is inspired by the aesthetic of the racing cars, with clean lines and a sporty yet sophisticated look. It features a sleek 45 mm steel case and a brown dial with a mesmerizing patering with silver-tone subdials, hands and indices. Inside is ticking the in-house IWC caliber 89361, a self-winding flyback chronograph movement with a power reserve of 68 hours. The watch also features a date display at the 6 o’clock position, adding a convenient everyday functionality. A rubber strap with brown alligator leather inlay completes the overall classic design. It’s a perfect watch for those who appreciate high-quality watchmaking and the craftsmanship that goes into creating a watch of this caliber.
