Top Picks: Ball Dive Watch Collections that Offer You Quality

When the accuracy in every Ball dive watch cannot be denied, it's time for you to have it.
Aug 13, 2021

You may not notice that every watch brand has a distinctive background behind its craftsmanship in watchmaking. The founder, Mr. Webster C. Ball began his career in jewelry and watches by raising his own Ball Watch Company in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. The decision of building a watch company was made based on a fatal crash of two trains in Kipton that caused several deaths and the investigation showed that one of the conductor’s watches stopped working for four minutes before the crash. Webb Ball then was encouraged to craft high quality timepieces to prevent such tragedy happening again. That’s why until now Ball Watch Co. is producing watches based on American railroads standards where high accuracy is required.

Now, let’s focus on the Ball dive watch collection. As we know, a watch is considered as a dive watch when they have these 3 main features: (1) rotating bezel, a true lifesaver that is meant for an easier reading of elapsed time, (2) water resistant, at least it has 10 bars of water pressure but for now it is recommended to be resistant to 200m water depth or more, and (3) material constructions that are made of stainless steel, ceramic, titanium, and carbon fiber which adaptable to seawater, humidity, and extreme temperature. Those are the traits that every Ball dive watch offers to the watch enthusiast. But, the question is what makes them special among the other brands? Find out the answers here.
