A limited edition model themed "With creativity, anyone can soar into the sky" has been released.

　Ball Watch and Peanuts, featuring Snoopy, have collaborated for the first time to release the "Engineer Master Snoopy Flying Ace," a limited edition of 410 pieces worldwide. The watch combines Snoopy and his friends' fearless and positive attitude with Ball Watch's reliable timepiece technology, conveying the message that anyone can soar to the skies if they have the creativity.

　This timepiece boasts a striking 46mm diameter, a volume that immediately catches the eye, and features a classic pilot's watch design with a black dial, diamond-shaped hour and minute hands, and a small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock. The movement is the hand-wound Cal.BALL RR2102, which not only enables the distinctive dial design but also pays homage to vintage pilot's watches through its hand-wound mechanism. It also features a large, easy-to-operate onion crown, enhancing the enjoyment of winding the mainspring while adding a classic touch to the design.

　This watch incorporates a story in which Snoopy, the world's most famous beagle—a dreamer and adventurer—engages in an imaginary battle against his arch-nemesis, the Red Baron, as the legendary pilot "Flying Ace." A symbolic feature is the small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock, depicting Flying Ace wearing a flight cap, goggles, and a windblown scarf, straddling a doghouse resembling his beloved aircraft, the "Sopwith Camel." Furthermore, his best friend Woodstock adorns the tip of the second hand, creating a lively and expressive look on the dial with each passing hour.

　In addition, the sapphire crystal in the center of the case back features a design of "Snoopy's Flying Ace" wearing a flight cap with goggles and a red scarf, expressing the world of "PEANUTS" throughout the entire watch.

　This model features a classic design adorned with Snoopy's humorous image, while also possessing the modern, high legibility characteristic of Ball watches. The indices and hour and minute hands utilize "self-illuminating micro-gas lights," which glow brightly without the need for luminescence. Furthermore, the 12 o'clock index and hour/minute hands are yellow, while the others are green, resulting in excellent visibility in dark conditions. The Flying Ace and small seconds subdial also glow, making this watch appealing even in low light.
