As the official partner of the “Plastiki” expedition, IWC Schaffhausen is commemorating the successful mission with an addition to the Ingenieur watch family: a limited special edition of the Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth Edition “Plastiki”. This watch is homage to the feat of the British adventurer David de Rothschild and his crew, who sailed across the Pacific in 2010 in their pioneering and one-of-a-kind catamaran, the “Plastiki”.
Here's an image of the watch:

This certainly is a beautiful watch, that white dial is really nice. It is not the first time an Ingenieur limited edition gets a white dial, making it look special. A few years ago there was a limited Big Inge that one could get when buying a Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG edition IWC, see the picture.
Kind regards, Paul

I think it is the one on page 207: same writeup,centerng around David de Rothschild. Interesting, I had no idea when I snapped the pic. Then again, flagship does not accompany writeups with their pics. OK - I am definitely going to try it next visit.

I like the modern looks of this Inge - and the classic rugged features like the soft iron case.
Is that a heart shaped hour Marker above the 12?

I believe it is the one in the catalog. Not a third version.

I don't think it is a heart. Probably the number 60 with a hash mark underneath.
