Ball Engineer Master II Watches

History of Ball Engineer Master II Watches

 The Ball Watch Company has been among respected watch brands in the States since 1891. Due to the malfunction of the timekeeper, it resulted in the occurrence of the tragedy, Great Kipton Train Wreck, and the failure of the United States’ railroad system. Webb C. Ball was invited to investigate and regulate the railroads from back in the day and focused on precision and reliability of timekeeping. The creation of Ball Watch has marked an important milestone in the US railroad as well as watchmaking history. On every Ball watch, there is even an engraved “RR.Railroad” text on its case back. 

Ever since the establishment of the brand, the Ball watches are well recognised for their practicality and accuracy. In 1962, the Ball brand introduced their first Skindiver watch to address the growing demand for dive watches in the market. With the initial success, the impressive collection was followed by the updated Ball Skindiver II and Ball Skindiver Heritage models. These watches offered exceptional water resistance up to 300 m and antimagnetic resistance to 4,800 A/m.

Since then, the brand has put significant effort into the development of their dive watches. The Ball Engineer Master II is one of the improved models that gained appauses from many diver watch lovers. Featuring distinctive design and advanced features, it is considered as the epitome of a practical diver watch. 

The current Ball Watch Engineer Master II is now a collection that houses a series of solid watches for divers. These Ball dive watches are equipped with luminous micro gas tubes for the indices and an internal rotating bezel. They are all well designed to meet all the strict requirements to accompany divers for professional deep-sea diving Incorporating all advanced features, the Engineer Master II watches are also fitted with the durable and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, as well as screwed-in crown for the movement. 

The most notable feature that stands out of this watch is its luminescent micro gas tubes. They are well crafted and have made the watch very easy to read under extreme dark and zero light conditions. What people think highly about the lightweight micro gas tubes is that they are able to function perfectly without the need to battery. They recharge by sunlight which can last for over 10 years under normal usage. This technique is claimed to be 100 times better than a traditional lume and is guaranteed its safety with the low amount of tritium released with a secured CO2 laser.
