The northern lights on your wrist and the most precise technique of a watch hand. The new Engineer II Marvelight watch by BALL Watch Company renews the Engineer II collection with an unknown luminosity.
An elegant-sporty piece combining the sporty character with a classic watch design in which the luminescent technology closely linked to the brand stands out. Ease of reading has always been one of the brand's bets since its beginnings since its founder, Webster Clay Ball, established, as early as 1891, very precise readability standards.
To make it easier to read a mechanical watch even in total darkness, BALL Watch equips the dial and hands of all its watches with H3 gas microtubes. The procedure used by BALL Watch It is a cutting-edge Swiss technology that consists of capturing H3 gas in glass microtubes.
When H3 molecules hit the colored inner surface of the capsules, luminescent energy is released. This phenomenon can be reproduced for 25 years without requiring a recharge from an external source of light or energy. The powerful light diffused naturally and continuously by the H3 gas allows the time to be read in absolute darkness.
Furthermore, the luminosity is up to one hundred times more intense than that provided by other luminescent procedures traditionally used in watchmaking. These microtubes are up to three times longer than the microtubes normally used for this collection. In the dark, the microtubes of the sphere diffuse a magnificent and intense glacial blue glow.
The index at 12 o'clock stands out by emitting a green glow – the institutional color of the BALL brand – as well as the hands also equipped with micro gas tubes. Thanks to this play of night colors, reading the time at first glance is optimized.
For greater readability, the sober and elegant dial of this watch does not have any superfluous elements that could overload it. It is available in four classic colors: black, blue, gray and silver. Added to the discreet graduation at the circular end of the dial is the BALL logo, a symbol of precision according to official railway standards since 1891, and the prestigious manufacturing indication “Swiss Made”.
