BALL ENGINEER MASTER II DIVER WORLDTIME
Already a favorite among divers and boaters, the Engineer Master II Diver Worldtime
($3,149 and $3,299) features a new dial and a somewhat smaller 42mm steel case.
Ball has tidied up the main dial and also updated the minute track. You’ll note larger
sword-shaped hands and accent colors too.
Technical changes include even bolder micro gas tubes on the dial and a new
inner diving and city ring, both controlled by an external bezel. On the inner ring
you’ll find indicators for twenty-four global cities as well as diving graduations. When
diving, the wearer simply turns the bezel to begin tracking elapsed time under water.
Also, while previous models utilized an additional crown at 2 o’clock, the new model
features only one screwed-in crown for setting the time, day and date.
The watch, a limited edition of 1,000 pieces worldwide, is among the very few
watches available that combine a world time module with day and date windows. All
are powered by the automatic Ball RR1501-C, a COSC-certified chronometer.
