Description
The Ingersoll The Motion I11703 is a bold statement in contemporary automatic watchmaking, where mechanical artistry meets striking design. This 50.5mm timepiece showcases a fully skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate automatic movement within, allowing you to witness every gear, bridge, and jewel at work. The two-tone case construction pairs brushed stainless steel with polished rose gold-tone accents, creating a sophisticated contrast that extends to the applied hour markers and handset. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of INGERSOLL watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and after-sales support.
The Motion collection represents Ingersoll's commitment to making mechanical watchmaking accessible without compromising on visual impact. The octagonal case shape with exposed screws at each corner nods to iconic haute horlogerie design language, while the black rubber strap with integrated quick-release system ensures contemporary wearability. The skeleton dial construction provides a mesmerising view of the automatic movement's operation, with rose gold-tone bridges and components creating depth against the silvered finish. Water resistance to 5ATM (50 metres) provides sufficient protection for daily wear, while the scratch-resistant mineral crystal safeguards the dial from everyday impacts.
This automatic timepiece requires no battery—it draws power from the natural motion of your wrist throughout the day. The exhibition caseback allows you to admire the movement from both sides, making this watch a true conversation piece for mechanical enthusiasts. Whether you're adding to an established collection or discovering the world of automatic horology for the first time, The Motion I11703 delivers exceptional value and visual drama. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to support your timepiece throughout its lifetime, and we invite you to experience this remarkable watch in person at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where our knowledgeable staff can guide you through its technical features and ensure the perfect fit.

FAQ
Q: Does this watch require a battery?
A: No, the Ingersoll Motion I11703 is powered by an automatic movement, which means it winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist as you wear it. There is no battery to replace. If the watch stops after periods of non-wear, simply wind it manually using the crown or wear it for a few hours to build up the power reserve.
Q: Is the 50.5mm case size too large for everyday wear?
A: The 50.5mm case is certainly bold and makes a statement, but the rubber strap and ergonomic case design help it sit comfortably on the wrist. We recommend visiting our Johannesburg showrooms to try it on and assess the fit for your wrist size. This size is particularly popular among collectors who appreciate oversized contemporary sports watches.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 5ATM (50 metres) water resistance, this watch is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, we do not recommend swimming, showering, or any water sports with this timepiece. Hot water, soap, and chemicals can compromise the seals over time. Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully to maintain water resistance.
Q: What does the skeleton dial reveal?
A: The skeleton dial allows you to see the automatic movement working in real-time. You'll observe the balance wheel oscillating, gears rotating, and the intricate bridges and components that power the watch. It's a fascinating window into mechanical watchmaking and a key feature of The Motion collection's design philosophy.
Q: How long will the watch run without wearing it?
A: The power reserve of this automatic movement is typically 38-42 hours when fully wound, though Ingersoll does not publish exact specifications for this particular calibre. If you don't wear the watch for more than a day or two, it will stop and need to be wound manually or worn again to restart.
Q: Is the rose gold colour plated or solid?
A: The rose gold-tone elements are PVD-coated or plated stainless steel, not solid gold. This finish is durable and designed to maintain its appearance with proper care, though it should be protected from harsh impacts and abrasive surfaces.
Q: Does Cassims & Co. offer strap replacements for this watch?
A: Yes, the 22mm lug width is a standard size, and we can assist with replacement straps at our Mall of the South location. Whether you'd like an additional rubber strap, leather alternative, or bracelet option, our team can advise on compatible aftermarket options to personalise your watch.

Care guide
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or direct impacts that may affect the automatic movement's precision.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- After contact with saltwater, chlorine, or chemicals, rinse the watch gently with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Clean the case and rubber strap regularly with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to remove oils, dirt, and perspiration.
- If the watch has not been worn for several days and has stopped, gently wind it manually by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times before wearing.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch is recommended to prevent scratches.
- Avoid exposing the watch to solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, or cleaning products, which can damage the rubber strap and case finishes.
