IWC Schaffhausen is one of the most active<br />

timepiece companies in the industry<br />

in backing environmental projects. Aside<br />

from striving to be the first Carbon Neutral<br />

timepiece company, IWC has also worked on<br />

a number of other initiatives including the<br />

Plastiki Expedition.<br />

Mission Earth Edition<br />

“Adventure Ecology”<br />

Recently, a one of a kind Platinum Ingenieur<br />

Automatic Mission Earth Edition “Adventure<br />

Ecology” was auctioned off to the highest bidder<br />

for 30,800 Euro, with all proceeds going<br />

toward funding the expedition of the same<br />

name. <strong>The</strong> Plastiki is an 18-metre catamaran<br />

that travelled across the Pacific Ocean and<br />

was outfitted with solar panels, wind turbines<br />

iNDUstRy NeWs<br />

and bicycle-powered electricity generators.<br />

<strong>The</strong> barge was built to raise awareness<br />

of progressive ideas that help fight<br />

against environmental pollution.<br />

For their voyage, the members of the Plastiki<br />

were each equipped with a stainless<br />

steel IWC Ingenieur Automatic, limited to<br />

1,000 pieces. To commemorate the Plastiki<br />

expedition, the stainless steel case back<br />

is engraved with the Plastiki logo, making<br />

the timepiece an instant and highly<br />

sought after collectors item.<br />

Water-resistant to 120 metres, the case features<br />

protective shoulders for the crown<br />

and houses the IWC-manufactured 80110<br />

calibre, containing a soft-iron inner case<br />

to shield it against magnetic fields and a<br />

shock absorption system as protection<br />

against impact. As with the Plastiki expedition<br />

itself, IWC’s “Adventure Ecology”<br />

edition is equipped to take on even the<br />

harshest conditions.<br />
