saw this on TZ... A bit busy for my tastes but cool nonetheless... The Ball Engineer Master II Diver TMT provides the simplest safest solution for timing a dive. The rotating inner bezel operates with a screwed-down crown to ensure that the bezel cannot move under water. The red-colored O-rings seal the case for deep diving to 300 meters and also provide a handy visual cue that the crown is not completely screwed in. The Ball Engineer Master II Diver TMT is capable of measuring environmental temperature from –30 to 110°F (-35 to 45°C) with a precision of 3% that is only achievable by a mechanical thermometer. The measurement is easily read from the round indicator at 6 o’clock. The Ball caliber 9018 movement that powers the watch ensures it will function perfectly from –40 to 140°F (-40 to 60°C) without any adverse affect on accuracy. The black color of the Diver TMT case is not simply a matter of style. The Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) of the case provides several benefits. Metals coated with DLC exhibit impressive hardness, low friction, high resistance to wear, and even electrical insulation. Research shows that DLC dramatically improves the performance and life of any material. For deep diving, illumination is necessary to read the diver’s timepiece. At the depth of 100 meters that Guillaume reaches on a regular basis, the ambient light is about 1% of surface light. Recreational and professional Scuba Divers can often reach depths far lower. With 41 Ball micro gas tubes integrated into the rotating bezel, the diver will never have to worry about lighting again. The dial and hands also feature our micro gas tubes, giving a total of 53. The Engineer Master II Diver TMT is a limited edition of 2,006 pieces. Movement is the automatic Ball caliber 9018 with cold temperature endurance to -40°C. Functions include: hours, minutes, sweep seconds; date; bidirectional rotating inner bezel; thermometric indicator ranging from -35°C to 45°C; 53 micro gas tubes on hour, minute, second hands and dial for night reading capability. The case, in stainless steel with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC); measures 42mm X 15mm. The crystal is AR-coated sapphire. It is water resistant to 300 meters and antimagnetic to 4,800A/m; shock-resistance to 5,000Gs. It is available with a rubber strap or a stainless steel case, with silver or black dials. MSRP is $3,299. |

I actually like the current Non-TMT version better. |

Wow 53 Vials that puppy must be a Torch, my chrono only has 31, it is plenty bright at night. I would love to see on a bracelet over the band. I wonder if it is offered with a Fahrenheit scale on the dial. The only things that I don't care for on this watch is the half moon seconds sub-dial, it doesn't really add useful functionality to the watch, yet it does make it busier than it needs to be. The rotating inner bezel is neat. I imagine that it has to be set on the surface or at the onset of the descent. The mechanical thermometer is nice, I think that if I lived near DC, it would be great use for judging the effects of the pontification of the beltways boys have on the greenhouse gases and global warming. Ball is coming out with some neat time pieces. Great design and execution. |
