I'm surely biased, but I have to say that honestly you're not comparing apples to apples here. The IWC ingenieur is a beautifully crafted design by Gerald Genta, but not something I could see myself wearing. The angular case seems to lack the refinement of the type of timepiece you are looking for, and it is something that lends itself to being more sporty rather than dressy. The Globemaster is beautifully stunning in person (yes I have seen it). It is a timepiece that transitions between dress an casual attire so well, while still providing refinement, sophistication and functionally when you need it. Most importantly, the movement is where the Globemaster takes the cake. The movement performance you are used to with your other Omega timepieces is most likely deadly accurate. There are few timepieces that can maintain consistent levels of accuracy like an in-house Omega movement with anti-magnetic protection. I've seen it first hand and those movements perform beautifully. The METAS certification takes this precision to a whole other level. I won't bore you with the details, but it is truly remarkable (check out the Omega website if your curious what their testing). For slightly more money than the IWC, you will be getting a gorgeous timepiece on a strap, in-house movement with 15k gauss protection (perfect for engineers), METAS certified Master Chronometer, 4 year warranty all for under 7k. It seems like a no brainier to me. I guarantee you will not regret adding the Globemaster to your collection.
