BALL WATCH "Engineer Hydrocarbon Titanium"
 
     

Montre Solmare Co.Ltd. has started sales of a new model from "Engineer Hydrocarbon" series, the representative series of Ball Watch.

The "Engineer Hydrocarbon" series was created in 2004 to be the ultimate explorer watch that can stand the most adverse conditions on Earth and still function smoothly while delivering precise and accurate time.

The special features incorporated into the Engineer Hydrocarbon represent a breakthrough, as the world's first cold temperature watch, with a movement that withstands cold to -40 degree, anti-magnetic resistance to 12,000 A/m, shock resistant to 7,500Gs and water resistant to 300 meters. The Ball micro gas lights provide light in the darkest environments, while our patented crown protection system ensures water resistance and shock resistance on even the most intense excursions.

"Engineer Hydrocarbon Titanium"


John "Mad Cow" Hembel

The "Engineer Hydrocarbon Titanium" was designed to meet the technical excellence needed for extreme conditions like those experienced by top speed skier John "Mad Cow" Hembel.
bringing technology to watches is our forte. Not only does the titanium reduce the weight of the watch, it also increases its resistance to scratching. Despite the larger-sized case, the watch weights significantly less. The case back bears the likeness of "Mad Cow" Hembel, the clear inspiration for this sleek new design.

At the same time, Montre Solmare Co.Ltd has started sales of "Engineer Master II Diver". For deep diving, illumination is necessary to ensure the diver can read his timepiece regardless of ambient light. The best, longest-lasting solution is Ball's micro gas tubes, which provide constant light without outside illumination, up to 100 times brighter than conventional luminous paints. 　

Water resistant to 300 meter. Both crowns are sealed with red-coloured O-rings for superior water resistance. The red colour has the additional benefit of serving as a visual due that the crown is not completely screwed in.
