Ball Watch Company has introduced the new Engineer Skindiver III Beyond ahead of its attendance at WATCHPRO Salon in November.
With 60 years of dive watch development behind it, Ball has added the new design to bring together aesthetics, precision and functionality as part of its quest to put together a complete timepiece.
Honoring Mr. Ball’s pursuit of accuracy, the brand launched its first in-house manufacture chronometer movement in 2018, the BALL RRM7309 – C.
The Skindiver III Beyond features the RRM7309 – C, equipped with 80-hour power reserve while reaching COSC standards.
Generally speaking, the higher the frequency of a mechanical movement, the more power is required to make it run. Hence, the most straightforward way to extend a movement’s power reserve is to simply lower its frequency.
Yet, the frequency of a movement is positively correlated with its accuracy; lowering the frequency will also decrease the accuracy of the movement.
In facing this dilemma, Ball decided not to compromise either and built its 80-hour power reserve while maintaining a high-frequency rate of 28,800vph.
Every caliber RRM7309 – C is rigorously tested by Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres for its quality and accuracy.
Known for its luminous timepieces, Ball also applies H₃ gas tubes on all its watches.
When the H₃ molecules strike the internal – colored surface of the tubes, they emit light without requiring any form of external light or energy source.
The Engineer M Skindiver III Beyond integrates tubes below the ultra-durable domed sapphire bezel as well as on the dial’s robust 1mm micro gas tubes at each hour marker with the slimmer tubes on the hour, minute and second hands.
The 35 tubes display green and yellow colors for a classic, well–lit combination.
Shaped from stainless steel, the 41.5mm case measures 13.8 mm in thickness, ensuring that both solid toughness and everyday comfort are easily felt.
The Engineer M Skindiver III Beyond is water resistant to 300m/1000ft and anti-magnetic to 4,800A/m and is a vailable in a dark blue tone on a stainless steel bracelet.
Today, more than ever, BALL Watch is continuing its journey and asserting its role as a key protagonist in the exploration of modern time and the evolution of watchmaking history.
