Last year, IWC clad its new Engineer series in a ceramic "coat." While the new "coat" made it look noticeably more refined and robust, it was also a bit too plain. This year, IWC not only gave the Engineer a more vibrant green "coat," but also added striking rose gold accents to key areas. This new dark olive green ceramic Engineer watch continues the multi-piece ceramic structure used in the black ceramic version. The case is 42mm in diameter and 11.5mm thick, with a satin-brushed finish and beveled edges. The olive green color is achieved by precisely mixing zirconium oxide and metal oxides. Since the color of ceramic changes during firing, achieving visual consistency across the case, bezel, case back, and strap was a significant challenge, even for IWC, a company renowned for its colored ceramics. In addition, because ceramic is brittle, screws cannot be directly engaged with it. Therefore, ceramic engineers specially added a titanium inner ring inside the watch case to bear all the thread stress, fix the movement, and achieve 100-meter water resistance.Best luxury replica watches price at Repwatcheaprice, cheap watches for men and women.
It's worth emphasizing that, due to the addition of precious metals to the dark olive green Ceramic Engineer, the functional screws securing the bezel and case bushing are made of 18K Armor Gold®, significantly increasing hardness compared to traditional gold alloys, to ensure strength. The crown, however, is made of standard 18K 5N rose gold. What makes the Ceramic Engineer truly unique compared to other IWC ceramic watches is that IWC is using a satin-brushed finish on its ceramic timepiece for the first time. Since ceramic is five times harder than stainless steel, IWC's choice of this most demanding ceramic polishing technique means not only using diamond polishing tools for extremely time-consuming finishing, but also chamfering and polishing all the small components—the case, bezel, crown guard, and case back—in both visible and invisible areas, on top of the brushed finish.
In addition, to ensure that the ceramic engineer enjoys the same wearing comfort as the metal engineer, it was equally crucial for IWC to create a ceramic bracelet that is identical in shape to the metal bracelet, and equally robust and comfortable to wear. To achieve this, IWC also crafted 10 external and internal links of different sizes and structures. Each of these ceramic links was not only manufactured individually, but the edges of each link were also rounded and polished. Ultimately, this ceramic bracelet, with the same texture as the watch case, not only blends perfectly with the case, but after wearing it, I clearly felt that its touch was even more skin-friendly and warm than the metal engineer bracelet.
