The invincible ice blue aperture "little log" for commuting

Posted by lifata on February 21st, 2023

An excellent commuter watch often has the following characteristics: First, it has a reasonable watch diameter, which can fit the wrist size of most people, and the currently recognized best men’s watch size is 40mm. The second is the unbiased design, that is, it is not as simple as a formal watch, and it does not have the exaggerated appearance of a sports watch, and it is suitable for various occasions. The last is reliable performance, including the wear resistance of the case material, the water resistance and anti-magnetic properties of the watch. Among the new products released recently, the BALL engineer glare series perfectly fits the above characteristics, coupled with the unique ice blue disk surface and convex lens calendar window, it can be described as a "small diary" at this price.

When it comes to BALL, the biggest feature must be the strong luminous display. Different from the Super-LumiNova "light storage" luminous material used in most products on the market, BALL replica uses self-luminous miniature gas lamps, that is, it can emit light without being irradiated by a light source. The long-lasting light is conducive to use in various complex environments. Because of this, the strong luminous light has made BALL favored by professional users in coal mines, railways and other fields in history.

This new product also uses self-luminous miniature gas lamps. The huge gas lamps are inlaid in the square hour markers of the whole point. The middle of the minute hand and the front of the second hand also have the same miniature gas lamps. The unique green luminous light is particularly bright among competing products (the scale at 12 o’clock is yellow, which is easy to distinguish the position). It is worth noting that, in order to strengthen brand recognition and improve details, the end of the second hand is also added with "double R " sign.

I believe everyone has seen the popularity of ice blue discs in recent years. This color is more dynamic than silver and white, and at the same time, the low saturation makes it less ostentatious. Rolex's "Ice Blue Di" and "Ice Blue DD" with this color scheme are very popular. The BALL glare series also introduced this popular element and kept the price at the same low price, providing another choice for players who love this color scheme. In fact, the BALL Engineer III glare system is not limited to this color, but compared with ice blue, the rest of the color is naturally much darker.

However, another important reason why it can be called a "small log" is the convex lens calendar window, which is also an iconic element of the log type. Rolex’s convex lens calendar window was first introduced in 1945 and was patented in the 1950s. This design can increase the actual display effect by 2.5 times without expanding the calendar area of the dial, which is of great practical significance. With the end of the patent protection period, the convex lens calendar window is not limited to the use of Rolex, and it has profoundly influenced the design ideas of many products in later generations.

In addition to the appearance of a commuter watch that can withstand scrutiny, performance is also an indispensable and important factor, which puts forward requirements for the material of the case. 904L is especially suitable for diving Perfect Fake Watches or professional products due to its corrosion resistance. The most widely used brand of 904L in today's famous watches is Rolex (the brand is called "Oystersteel"). To a certain extent, 904L is deeply related to Rolex and has become one of the core elements of Rolex watches. And BALL is another brand that uses 904L to manufacture watches after Rolex, which is also the reason why it can be called a "small log".

Another main selling point of the BALL engineer's glare watch is its anti-magnetic performance, and the words "1000 GAUSS" are marked on the dial. The anti-magnetic protection of the watch mainly relies on the anti-magnetic protection ring made of special high-magnetic alloy under the bottom cover. It is composed of nickel, iron, copper and molybdenum, which can resist the interference of magnetic field on the movement time to a certain extent.

As mentioned earlier, historically BALL replica watches cheap has won the favor of users in professional fields such as railways and coal mines, and the brand has also integrated it into product design. The engraved locomotive pattern on the bottom cover strengthens the brand's connection with it and injects a deep cultural heritage into the product.

The watch is equipped with Cal.RR1103-C self-winding movement. In fact, this movement is not BALL's self-produced movement. It is based on Sellita SW200-1. The brand has made certain modifications to this, such as engraving the word "BALL" on the automatic rotor and sending it to the COSC Observatory for certification to ensure The daily error is controlled in the range of -4 to +6 seconds per day. As one of the most widely used basic movements at present, the performance and structural stability of Sellita SW200-1 have passed the verification of time, and it is the first choice for commuting movements.
