V7 Factory Edition — Integrated H-Link Steel Bracelet
The reproduction of Gérald Genta’s iconic Ingenieur design requires exacting tolerances, particularly regarding case profile and dial texturing. This V7 Factory (V7F) edition of the Ref. IW328902 establishes a high benchmark among collectors by achieving the exact 10.8mm thickness of the genuine article. It avoids the disproportionate case depth often found in lower-tier alternatives, offering a meticulously stamped galvanized grid dial that properly catches light across its textured surface.
To maintain this slender architecture, V7F utilizes a slim Asian 2892 automatic movement. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, this caliber provides a smooth sweeping seconds hand and reliable quick-set date functionality. Unlike proprietary clone movements that can be difficult to repair, the A2892 is a well-documented workhorse, offering excellent long-term serviceability while delivering approximately 36 hours of power reserve.
Constructed from 316L stainless steel, the case and integrated bracelet weigh a verified 148.6g, closely mirroring the wrist presence of the genuine piece. The finishing exhibits a highly accurate ratio of vertical brushing to mirror-polished chamfers, particularly on the articulated H-links of the bracelet. The silver-plated dial features rhodium-toned hands and indices, protected by a scratch-proof sapphire crystal with colorless anti-reflective coating.
