BALL Watch

Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Titanium

Known to be one of the greatest watchmakers in the world, Webb C. Ball made late 19th-century travel a safer endeavour by creating a Time Standard -- a system by which accuracy and uniformity in timekeeping was achievable. The phrase "being on the Ball" is in fact a reference to that standard. Whether mountain-climbing in subzero temperatures, diving many feet below the ocean's surface, or re-entering the Earth's orbit, accurate and reliable timekeeping is of the essence.

Pictured here is the Engineer Hydrocarbon Titanium. This tough-as-nails automatic wrist watch is shock-resistant, water-resistant, antimagnetic, and implements Ball Watch's constant-illumination technology, which makes for unparalleled nighttime visibility. 42mm titanium and stainless steel case, unidirectional lapse-time bezel, superthick sapphire crystal, screw-in crown with patented crown protection system.
