IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35 — Pool dial & 50th Anniversary for ~6.5″
IW324902 “Pool” grid dial on integrated steel bracelet. Official press release photography — not a try-on. Source: press.iwc.com — Pool dialIWC’s compact Gérald Genta-line Ingenieur sits at 35 mm × 9.4 mm with integrated steel bracelet, five-screw bezel, grid dial, and automatic Calibre 47110 (~42 h, 4 Hz, display back). Two 2026 angles matter for readers: the summer “Pool” teal dial (IW324902, press dated July 2026) and the 50th Anniversary brushed silver dial limited edition (IW324909, 1,150 pieces, €13,000, announced September 2026 alongside the 40 mm IW328910).
Lug-to-lug: IWC’s press materials and PDP accordions checked for this pass publish diameter and thickness, not tip-to-tip. Watch Advice lists 40.7 mm lug-to-lug for the Pool 35 — treat as secondary-published only until IWC prints Case Length on the official spec sheet. Integrated H-link bracelets often wear larger than the numbers suggest anyway.
Integrated caveat
A 35 mm integrated sports watch is not a 35 mm strap watch. Head-on presence reads closer to 36–37 mm class; try the butterfly clasp and middle-link ergonomics on your wrist. Compare span literacy in lug-to-lug and integrated picks on by style.

Soft SGD / Singapore path
Confirm live SGD on iwc.com/en-sg or at an authorised retailer (IWC boutique / Watches of Switzerland group stores where listed). Do not hard-quote FX from EUR/USD press. Ingenieur steel integrated pieces are Band 5 — budget for full retail plus any boutique allocation reality.
