The Ball Engineer III Bright Path NM9026C-S50CJ-YTE is a distinctive and technically capable timepiece that blends modern engineering with a unique aesthetic character. Its 40mm case, crafted from corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel, offers robust durability while maintaining a refined, contemporary profile. The dial is made from tiger’s eye, a semi-precious stone known for its rich golden tones and natural chatoyancy, giving each watch its own striking visual identity. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment ensures excellent clarity and long-lasting protection.
Precision and Reliability
Powered by the Ball calibre RR1103-C, a COSC-certified automatic movement, the Bright Path delivers dependable accuracy suitable for everyday use. The movement offers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours and benefits from Ball’s Amortiser anti-shock system, designed to absorb external impacts and protect the mechanism during active wear. Magnetic resistance up to 1,000 Gauss further enhances reliability by shielding the movement from environmental interference. With a water resistance of 100 metres, the watch performs confidently in daily conditions.
Design and Comfort
The tiger’s-eye dial is complemented by applied markers and hands fitted with Ball’s micro gas tubes, providing continuous, self-powered illumination in low light. The 904L stainless-steel bracelet sits securely and comfortably on the wrist, balancing a robust build with a polished, premium feel. The 40mm case size offers versatile proportions that suit a wide range of wrists without overwhelming.
Versatile Style
The Engineer III Bright Path NM9026C-S50CJ-YTE is ideal for those who appreciate natural materials, technical innovation, and understated luxury. Its combination of high-grade construction, chronometer performance, and uniquely patterned dial makes it suitable for both everyday wear and more refined settings. This limited-edition model captures Ball’s commitment to precision and individuality, delivering a timepiece that is as reliable as it is distinctive.
