The Ingersoll The Motion I11704 is a bold statement of mechanical artistry, engineered for enthusiasts who appreciate the visual theatre of automatic watchmaking. Housed within a commanding 50.5mm stainless steel case with a distinctive octagonal bezel secured by visible screws, this timepiece fuses sporty architecture with sophisticated skeleton engineering. The blue dial reveals the intricate automatic movement beneath, with silvered bridges and gold-toned jewels creating a mesmerising three-dimensional exhibition of horological mechanics.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be authorised retailers of INGERSOLL watches, offering this exceptional piece with full brand warranty and after-sales support. The Motion collection represents Ingersoll's commitment to accessible mechanical watchmaking, delivering Swiss-inspired automatic complications at exceptional value. The skeleton dial construction allows visibility of the movement's oscillating balance wheel and winding rotor, while polished applied hour markers and luminous hands ensure legibility against the architectural backdrop.
Built for active wear, the 50.5mm case is complemented by a sporty blue rubber strap with integrated deployment clasp, designed for comfort and durability. The watch offers 50 metres water resistance, suitable for everyday splashes and light swimming. The substantial case depth of 14mm accommodates the automatic movement while maintaining wrist presence befitting the watch's bold aesthetic. A scratch-resistant mineral crystal protects the dial, engineered to withstand daily wear.
Whether you're drawn to mechanical watches for their engineering purity or seeking a conversation-starting timepiece with serious wrist presence, the Ingersoll Motion I11704 delivers both visual impact and horological substance. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience this impressive automatic watch in person, and rest assured that our watch servicing and repairs team will support your timepiece throughout its lifetime.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch fully automatic or does it require manual winding?
A: The Ingersoll Motion I11704 features a self-winding automatic movement that winds itself through the motion of your wrist. While it will wind automatically during normal daily wear, you can also manually wind it using the crown if the watch has stopped due to extended non-wear. We recommend wearing it regularly to maintain optimal power reserve.
Q: Can I see the movement working through the dial?
A: Yes, absolutely. The skeleton dial design showcases the automatic movement's intricate mechanics, including the oscillating balance wheel, winding bridges, and jewelled bearings. This exhibition dial is one of the watch's defining features, allowing you to observe the mechanical artistry in real time.
Q: Is 50.5mm too large for smaller wrists?
A: The 50.5mm case diameter is substantial and designed for bold wrist presence. We recommend trying the watch on at our Mall of the South boutique to assess the fit on your wrist. While it wears larger, the integrated rubber strap and ergonomic case design help distribute the size comfortably. This watch is best suited for medium to larger wrists.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 50 metres (5 ATM) water resistance, the watch is suitable for everyday splashes, handwashing, and brief swimming. However, we do not recommend showering with the watch due to exposure to soaps and temperature extremes, nor diving or water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully before water exposure.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: We recommend servicing your automatic watch every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. Our watch servicing and repairs team at Cassims & Co. can handle routine maintenance, ensuring your Ingersoll continues running accurately for years to come.
Q: Does the blue rubber strap include a deployment clasp?
A: Yes, the blue rubber strap features an integrated deployment buckle system for secure wearing and ease of use. The 22mm strap width is standard, allowing for aftermarket strap options if you wish to customise the look in future.
Q: Is this watch covered by an official manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Ingersoll retailer, this watch comes with a 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid from your date of purchase and requires proof of purchase from an authorised dealer.
