Introducing the BALL Engineer III Bronze/Silver Star, Available Now at a Special Pre-Order Price

BALL is no stranger to worn&wound. Earlier this year they joined us at Wind^Up, and just last week we reviewed the impressive Fireman Storm Chaser Pro. Today, we’re excited to announce something new from the brand just in time for the upcoming holiday season, and it’s something we think will appeal to a lot of people.

What makes these watches really impressive is the tech packed into them. Built to withstand extreme shocks, the Engineer III features Ball’s SpringLOCK and Amortiser systems, the former a small cage that protects the hairspring and the latter a lock that prevents the rotor from damaging the movement in the event of a shock. Other noteworthy tech includes a mu-metal shield protecting the movement giving the watch its impressive anti-magnetic rating, and BALL’s popular tritium gas tubes.

The tritium tubes do not need to be charged by light.

As mentioned above, Ball is offering this new collection at an exclusive pre-order price: $1,275 for the Bronze Star, and $907 for the Silver Star in both sizes. The pre-order will continue through December 31, 2016, with an expected delivery date between March and April, 2017. (The series will be available officially on May, 2017 for a full retail price of $2,300 for the Bronze Star and $1,650 for the Silver Star.) To further sweeten the pot, BALL is offering custom case back engraving on all models. Buyers can also request a specific production number on the Bronze Star model. All in all, this is a great value from BALL.
