This from Jorge at TZ:

Made for the Taiwanese market in a limited run of 346 pieces.

The case, in stainless steel, measures 42mm X 15mm. The crystal is sapphire, with AR-coating. It is water resistant to 300 meters, shock resistant to 5,000 Gs and anti-magnetic to 4,800 a/m. Movement is the automatic ETA caliber 2836-2 with 25 jewels and a power reserve of 42 hours. 




 

Pretty neat looking LE. Any thoughts on the yellow or the caseback? I like 'em!

Yep, saw that one... it is actually 44mm - uses the same case as the EMII Diver Chronometer.  I like the yellow bezel and the case back has some neat history to it...

"The case back is evidently representative of Zheng Chenggong's ships and the 346 limited edition is representative of the 346th anniversary of his landing.
Zheng Chenggong was a military leader at the end of the Chinese Ming Dynasty. In 1661, he led his troops to a landing at Lu'ermen to attack Taiwan." (Ball Watch Forum)

This was a limited edition commissioned by the Taiwan agent for Ball.  Available only in Asia from AD's, but I have seen one of these on the bay so far...
