BALL Army Series
The Engineer III Army belongs to BALL Watch's Army Series, a collection that incorporates the brand's technical watchmaking features with its association with the United States Army. The series is officially licensed by the United States Army and includes specialised features developed for resistance to magnetic fields and shocks. The NM9028C-S49C-BE combines these specifications with the Engineer III platform and BALL's Micro Gas Tube illumination system.
Blue Dial and Micro Gas Tubes
The blue dial features hours, minutes and sweep seconds, together with a magnified date indication. A total of 51 micro gas tubes are positioned on the hour, minute and second hands and dial to provide continuous illumination for reading the time in low-light conditions. The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
COSC-Certified Automatic Movement
The watch is powered by the BALL RR1103-C automatic calibre, which is chronometer certified by COSC. It provides hours, minutes, sweep seconds and a magnified date, while the patented SpringLOCK® hairspring anti-shock system contributes to the watch's resistance to shocks up to 5,000Gs. The movement is also protected against magnetic fields up to 1,000 Gauss (80,000 A/m).
904L Stainless Steel Bracelet and 100m Water Resistance
The 904L stainless steel case is matched with a 904L stainless steel bracelet secured by a folding buckle. The watch offers water resistance to 100 metres / 330 feet and weighs approximately 190g. With its blue dial, 51 Micro Gas Tubes, COSC-certified automatic movement, 1,000 Gauss anti-magnetic protection and 5,000Gs shock resistance, the BALL Engineer III Army NM9028C-S49C-BE brings the technical specifications of the Army Series together in a 43mm stainless steel design.
