Below is a video of the watch on my wrist. After considering the positives and negatives of the watch, I recommend that this watch is a BUY.





Below are some of the aspects of the watch that made me recommend the BUY call.

Positive Takeaways	Negative Points
Designed by the famous Gerald Genta Nice heft to it The bracelet uses an ingenious link-locking system The classic sports watch	Hard to find Rather large

The Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth was designed for the outdoors and is substantial. The case diameter is 46 mm while its height is 15 mm. Its in-house movement has an integrated shock absorber. Water-resistant to 12 bars, this watch can withstand magnetic fields of up to 80,000 amperes per metre. The additional soft-iron inner casing to protect the movement from magnetic influences is major reason for the height of the watch.

Inside this watch ticks IWC’s in-house caliber 80110 movement. The Pellaton winding system is the cornerstone of the 80000-calibre family. This winding system, designed by Albert Pellaton in 1950 features IWC's first automatic winding mechanism.


Final Thoughts

Despite its size and weight, this watch is comfortable to wear. More importantly, it can be worn during formal functions as well. This makes this watch an all-rounder.
