Introducing the new Engineer III Pioneer II Black Limited Edition, a bold fusion of rugged engineering and sleek design from Ball Watch Company. Sized at a versatile 40mm in diameter, 46.6mm lug to lug, and 13mm thick, it strikes the perfect balance between presence and wearability. True to Ball's adventurous spirit, it features a screwed-in crown that secures an impressive 100m (330ft) water resistance. Whether you're adjusting the time or heading out for a weekend by the water, a quick twist of the crown seals the deal, ready for daily wear and spontaneous splashes alike.

What makes the Engineer III Pioneer really unique is the use of 904L stainless steel through and through. This steel has been used primarily by the big "R" company for decades now. 904L grade stainless steel is unlike any other steel. Due to its extra amounts of chromium, molybdenum, nickel and copper, 904L steel features superior resistance to corrosion, rust and acids. While its unique hardness allows it to withstand extreme conditions, it also requires special machinery and production processes in order to be shaped. Visually, 904L grade steel has an exceptional high polish compared to 316L steel and ages exquisitely well.

Use of 904L Stainless Steel Means Exceptional Shine

Selected BALL timepieces are now built using 904L steel. Though every timepiece is made to handle harsh conditions, the implementation of 904L stainless steel only fortifies the strength and reliability.

The enamel dial of the Engineer III Pioneer II in black captivates with its bold character, highlighted by oversized Arabic numerals at the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock positions. Radiating with energy, the hands and indices are equipped with self-powered micro gas tubes that create a dynamic and colorful glow, ensuring exceptional legibility in the dark. Each index shines in a unique hue such as pink, orange, blue, green, white, or yellow, and is specially outlined in its corresponding lume color, allowing the glow to be visually anticipated even before night falls.

28 micro gas tubes on hour, minute and second hands and dial for night reading capability

A day window at 9 o'clock and a date window at 3 o'clock maintain visual symmetry, enhancing both functionality and balance. The luminous dauphine shaped hands amplify the dial's vibrance, offering a truly gratifying time reading experience around the clock. Adding a touch of refinement, sleek dauphine hands complete the elegant look. All of this brilliance is protected by a scratch resistant sapphire crystal treated with anti reflective coating, providing a crystal clear view of this striking timepiece.
