Ball Watch introduces a genuine pilot's watch that combines visibility, shock resistance, and magnetic resistance.

Ball Watch will release the new "Engineer III Aviator," equipped with patented and unique technology. This model is the latest addition to the "Engineer III" collection, which Ball Watch develops by incorporating new technology, and is the third pilot's watch in the collection, following the "Silver Star" and "Bronze Star."

Utilizing the technology cultivated through railway watches, the world of aviation is being developed

　Ball Watch was founded in 1891 in the wake of the Kipton Tragedy, a train collision caused by inaccurate timepieces in the United States. The company's watches are designed to operate accurately in any environment, and the company is dedicated to developing the technology needed to achieve this. The company's long-awaited pilot's watch, the Engineer III Aviator, is a timepiece that has been released.

　The dial, with its simple design befitting a pilot's watch, is equipped with a luminous system called "Micro Gaslight" that uses capsules filled with tritium gas, ensuring excellent visibility day or night. The hour and minute markers are positioned within reach of the hour and minute hands, respectively, allowing for instant reading of the time.

The "spring lock" mechanism, which increases shock resistance, uses a cage to absorb shocks applied to the balance spring, which greatly affects the accuracy of the watch. This allows the watch to withstand the vibrations caused by playing golf or riding a motorcycle, activities that are taboo for most wristwatches.

The regulator, which adjusts the rate of a watch by changing the length of the balance spring, can become misaligned due to impact. This model does not use a free spring, but it does use a "spring seal," a mechanism that prevents misalignment by holding the regulator with a special plate.

　In addition to visibility, many pilot watches also have features such as shock resistance and magnetic resistance, and the Engineer III Aviator also has these features thanks to Ball Watch's unique approach.

　Shock resistance is enhanced by a "spring lock" that protects the balance spring, a "spring seal" that prevents the regulator from misaligning, and an "Amortiser shock absorbing ring" that protects the movement from external shocks. Magnetic resistance is enhanced by the use of a "mu-metal inner case," which is unaffected by magnetic fields of up to 8 A/m.
