BALL Engineer Hydrocarbon EOD 42mm Mens Watch DM3200A-S1C-BK

BALL celebrates its American heritage with its partnership with the United States Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal which is one of the most complete units of the Navy, ensuring all terrains, on land and underwater, are safe. The Engineer Hydrocarbon EOD is the most robust mechanical watch ever developed by BALL, with outstanding resistance features and patented technical innovations to help our bravest, no matter the mission.

Officially licensed by the US Navy, the 42mm titanium timepiece is equipped with anti-shock systems that make it highly resistant to any kind of conditions. A new patented shock absorption elastomer ring has been especially re-invented for the EOD, allowing the watch’s movement to resist a 10-meter free fall. The ring is made of elastomer, a rubber material that is both flexible and resistant, long lasting, and UV and sunlight damage resistant.

To complete the protection of the Chronometer certified movement and ensure its accuracy, the SpringSEAL® patented regulator and SpringLOCK® patented hairspring anti-shock systems are two vital features of this model. Thanks to a mumetal shield, the watch is anti-magnetic to 1,000 Gauss (80,000 A/m). For the crown to not get direct, unwanted external contact, a special crown protection has been created for this watch.

Glowing self-powered micro gas tubes are present on the dial, hands and bezel while Super LumiNova is featured on the bezel for perfect time-reading in the dark. The COSC certified BALL RR1101-CSL automatic caliber runs the hour, minute and sweep second hands, as well as a magnified date. The EOD is water resistant to 300 meters and is fitted with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a tapered titanium and stainless steel bracelet with a patented folding buckle. The timepiece comes with a black dial and two choices of materials for the unidirectional bezel: stainless steel or black ceramic. The US Navy EOD insignia has been impressively embossed on the case back.
