International Watch Company Ingenieur Chronograph ref. IW3805.01 circa late 1990s

This is a Neo-vinatge gem. Not only do they not come around too often, but the condition here is minty crisp with a lot of links. While the 3805 has Gerald Genta DNA and design language, it is an exceptional piece on its own. A professional tool watch with razor accuracy—the red hand is operated by the crown at 10, quickset date with crown at 3, tri-compax configuration and a tritium dial.

Overall, this is a fine example with very light wear and it appears to not have signs of polish. A new battery and inspection was done in 2025. The bracelet is currently sized to a 7in wrist but comes with 3 extra links which makes for a full bracelet or close. Double check if your wrist is near 7.7in or larger.
