The Fireman Victory NM2098C-S5J-BK balances classic elegance with rugged reliability, a versatile automatic watch suited to both the office and outdoor wear. The 40mm stainless-steel case frames a black dial decorated with a subtle "Clous de Paris" guilloché texture, giving the face understated depth and character. Polished baton indices, dauphine-style hands and a discreet date window between 4 and 5 o’clock provide a clean, legible layout that feels timeless.
This model embraces the restrained sophistication associated with the “Fireman” line: a minimalist bezel, well-proportioned case and a dial design that favours clarity over decoration. It’s a watch designed to move seamlessly between formal and casual settings, understated enough for work, yet robust enough for everyday wear.
Automatic Movement & Everyday Practicality
At its heart is BALL’s in-house automatic calibre RR1103, a dependable movement that delivers smooth sweeping seconds and a date function ideal for daily use without fuss.
High-Quality Build & Night-Time Readability
The watch features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown, enhancing durability and resilience for regular use. Fourteen micro gas tubes placed on the hands and hour markers ensure consistent illumination in low light or darkness, a distinctive BALL trait that leaves traditional lume far behind.
Comfortable Wear & Solid Everyday Use
With a case thickness of around 11.3mm and a matching stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp, the Fireman Victory sits comfortably on the wrist and balances presence with wearability. Its water resistance rating of 100 metres (10 ATM) means it’s robust enough for rain, showers or occasional swimming, a practical companion for urban life and travel alike.
A Sophisticated, Functional Timepiece
The NM2098C-S5J-BK is more than just a watch; it’s a blend of heritage design, mechanical integrity and modern practicality. Whether you’re in a boardroom, travelling, or out after dark, this BALL delivers understated elegance, reliability and exceptional legibility when it matters most.
