[New for 2022] Ball Watch Roadmaster Rescue Chronograph: Low-temperature resistant down to -45°C and equipped with a pulse meter

In search and rescue operations, time is of the essence. The new Ball Watch Roadmaster Rescue Chronograph is a highly functional search and rescue timepiece, offering exceptional accuracy and legibility. Featuring a patented push-button locking system, the chronograph function is linked to a pulsometer scale for measuring heart rate and respiration rate. Two luminous subdials display elapsed time. A highly visible micro gas light is integrated into the ceramic dive bezel at 12 o'clock for countdowns in any time zone. Its vital signs and versatility make it a reliable companion in times of need.

Rescue chronographs support rescue efforts

　The Rescue Chronograph evolves the traditional chronograph with a fresh new concept. Its most distinctive feature is the two chronograph pushers on the side of the case. It features a unique, patented locking system that allows the watch to be unlocked or locked simply by turning the pusher, preventing accidental operation. It achieves an excellent balance between safety and ease of use.

　When measuring elapsed time, the subdial at 12 o'clock can measure 30 minutes, and the subdial at 6 o'clock can measure up to 12 hours. In addition, the chronograph hand works in conjunction with the pulse meter scale with 15 pulse markings on the inner ring to quickly display your heart rate.

　Self-luminous micro gaslights are installed on the dial and hands to ensure the time can be read clearly even in complete darkness. They are also incorporated into the ceramic top bezel at 12 o'clock. The self-luminous micro gaslight, which uses tritium, does not require charging. This means you can read the time 24/7, regardless of location. The Arabic numerals on the dial and the counter marks on the bezel are coated with Super-LumiNova luminous material for improved visibility. The four-color light emitted from the dial is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

　The 41mm titanium case is highly shock-resistant, lightweight, comfortable to wear, and durable even in harsh temperatures. Its thickness is just 14.8mm, making it a tool watch perfectly suited to a variety of gear. The steel rotating bezel on top of the robust case is fitted with a scratch-resistant ceramic top bezel. The black or blue ceramic top bezel is UV-resistant and retains its color for a long time thanks to a sintering process that heats the material to 1,600 degrees during the manufacturing process.

　At the heart of the Rescue Chronograph is the BALL RR1402 automatic caliber, which uses special low-temperature oil. The movement maintains stable accuracy even in harsh environments ranging from -45°C to 80°C. The "seconds disc" indicator at 9 o'clock is an improved version of the standard sub-seconds hand, providing a visually striking indication that the watch is functioning properly. The inner case that secures the movement is fitted with a patented Amortiser® shock-resistant inner case to absorb shocks. To reach further and deeper, the watch is water resistant to a depth of 100m and features a scratch-resistant diver's bezel for bold underwater action.
