With the conclusion of IWC’s ambitious experiment, the brand returned to the reliable Faraday cage to maintain 80,000 A/m antimagnetic properties. This marked the introduction of reference 3521 – the Ingenieur Officially Certified Chronometer. The new perfect replica watches kept the signature look and specifications of the Skinny Ingenieur generation: magnetic resistance, cushioned movement, 120m water resistance (60m for gold cases), and dimensions of 34mm x 8.8mm. However, several key updates were introduced.

At first glance, the most noticeable change of the 1:1 wholesale fake watches were the new model’s name on the dial above the 6 o’clock mark, stating its chronometer certification. A magnifying lens was also added to the date aperture. Like with the Ingenieur 500,000 A/m, the lightning logo was omitted to make space for the text.

The Ingenieur Officially Certified Chronometer series was powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre-made ultra-thin Calibre 887 (1993–1995) and Calibre 8872 (1995–2001), which were based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibres 889 and 8892 – also famously used for Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Offshore. These movements operated at 28,800 vibrations per hour, featured a platinum rotor, and offered a 40-hour power reserve.

The Ingenieur Officially Certified Chronometer series lasted a few years before being discontinued in 2002. However, like the Genta-designed Ingenieur SL and other automatic models introduced by best replica IWC watches in 1976, it has become a collector’s item, as in total, only a few thousand Ingenieur units were produced across all references in 1976-2002.

The cheap super clone IWC Ingenieur SL Perpetual models, with full gold cases and specially designed bracelets, also stand out as a key part of IWC’s Ingenieur legacy. References 9240/9241 (1985-1987) and their later 1989-1992 variants were powered by IWC’s Calibres 3757 and 37580/37582, which were based on ETA 2892 A/A2 movements, with an added perpetual calendar module developed by Kurt Klaus.

In concluding this chapter of our story, it’s essential to mention the high quality copy IWC Ingenieur Chronograph (1988-1993), powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre-made meca-quartz Cal. 631, and the Ingenieur Chrono Alarm references 3805/3815 (1991-1997). These models, with a water resistance of only 30m and magnetic resistance of up to 4,000 A/m, were equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s meca-quartz Cal. 633, tailored explicitly to IWC’s specifications.

While our focus was never to list every reference produced by AAA replica IWC watches since the Ingenieur’s inception, highlighting these significant models helps complete the picture as we transition into the brave new world of 21st-century watchmaking.
