BALL<\/a> have released a new model as part of the iconic Engineer II collection. This watch combines classic looks, natural elegance and unparalleled performance in the same way as the other Engineer II watches, but with the contemporary twist of an all-black colour scheme. The Engineer II models are incredibly technical and powerful watches that each exhibit a sleek and nimble design. The BALL Engineer II Skindiver Heritage watch is a limited edition with only 390 pieces available worldwide, making it a very desirable and collectable timepiece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nDial<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This\nall-black model features a black dial with a weekday and date aperture\npositioned at 3 o\u2019clock. The hour, minute and second hands are silver, and the\nsecond hand has a yellow tip. This makes it easier for the wearer to keep track\nof shorter time periods. The watch exhibits 31 micro gas tubes on the bezel, hour,\nminute and second hands, and the dial. The black dial comes to life in the dark\nas the gas tubes light up in multicoloured hues to add a fun and vibrant look to\nthe watch. These gas tubes use cutting edge technology by encapsulating H3 gas.\nWhen the gas molecules hit the surface of the coloured tubes, they emit light\nwithout the need for any other energy source. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ndial is protected by anti-reflective, domed sapphire glass. The anti-reflective\ntreatment ensures that the dial can be read under bright lights. A black unidirectional\nrotating bezel surrounds the dial. It is designed to have good grip so that it\nis easy to operate underwater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nCase<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A\nstainless steel case frames the black dial. To continue the all-black colour\nscheme, the case is treated with a black titanium carbide coating. It measures\n42mm in diameter and 14.6mm in height. The case features an exhibition case\nback that is made from sapphire glass. This allows the wearer to view the powerful\nmovement within and enjoy watching its precise movements. The case also\nbenefits from a screw in crown that allows the watch to be water resistant up\nto 200 metres (20 bar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nMovement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The\nBALL Engineer II Skindiver Heritage watch is powered by BALL automatic calibre\nRR1102. This movement uses 28,800 vibrations per hour to provide the watch with\na power reserve of up to 38 hours. It is anti-magnetic to 4,800 A\/m and shock\nresistant to 5000 Gs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
