The Ingersoll Outrider I16403 is a commanding statement of mechanical artistry, combining robust design with intricate horological transparency. This 44mm automatic timepiece features a fully skeletonised dial that exposes the mesmerising architecture of its Hangzhou 28D5D automatic movement, revealing bridges, gears, and the oscillating balance wheel in perpetual motion. A striking blue minute track encircles the open-worked centre, creating a bold contrast against the silver-toned movement components and polished stainless steel case.
Housed in a distinctive cushion-shaped case measuring 44mm in diameter and 15.2mm in depth, the Outrider commands wrist presence without sacrificing wearability. The polished stainless steel construction extends to the integrated three-link bracelet with 22mm lug width, offering both durability and everyday comfort. Mineral crystal glass protects the dial, while 50 metres of water resistance provides sufficient protection for daily wear. The exhibition case back doubles the visual spectacle, allowing observation of the self-winding rotor as it converts kinetic energy into power with each movement of your wrist.

FAQ
Q: What powers the Ingersoll Outrider I16403?
A: This watch is powered by a Hangzhou 28D5D automatic mechanical movement. It winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist via a rotor visible through the exhibition case back. When fully wound, it provides approximately 40 hours of power reserve, meaning it will continue running for nearly two days even when not worn.
Q: What does the skeletonised dial reveal?
A: The skeletonised dial exposes the inner workings of the automatic movement, including the gear train, bridges, jewels, and oscillating balance wheel. You can observe the mechanical ballet of horological components in real-time, with a blue minute track framing the open-worked architecture for enhanced visual depth and legibility.
Q: Is 44mm too large for my wrist?
A: The 44mm case diameter is considered large-to-medium in contemporary watch sizing and suits wrist circumferences of approximately 16.5cm and above. The cushion case shape and integrated bracelet design help the watch sit close to the wrist, reducing perceived size. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique for a personal fitting to assess comfort and proportion.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming?
A: With 50 metres (5 ATM) of water resistance, the Outrider is suitable for everyday splashes, handwashing, and brief immersion, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. The crown should always be pushed fully in and never operated when the watch is wet. We recommend removing the watch before any sustained water contact.
Q: How do I maintain the accuracy of the automatic movement?
A: Automatic movements typically achieve accuracy within -10 to +30 seconds per day, which is normal for mechanical timepieces at this price point. To maintain optimal performance, wear the watch regularly to keep it wound, avoid exposure to magnetic fields and extreme shocks, and have the movement serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be sized by removing or adding links to achieve a perfect fit. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with your purchase. If you require further adjustments after purchase, our watch servicing team can assist at our Mall of the South location.
Q: What warranty does this watch come with?
A: The Ingersoll Outrider carries a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship but excludes normal wear, battery replacement (not applicable to automatic watches), accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse.
