PURSUE YOUR PURPOSE:
EXTREME GMT READABILITY IN DARKNESS.


Whenever curiosity calls, go with an open mind. Wherever adversity appears, persevere with passion. The Engineer II Navigator is designed for worldwide exploration with a 24-hour GMT bezel illuminated by micro gas tubes, our Amortiser® anti-shock system and cold temperature resistance. It’s built to accompany every adventure, no matter where you go around the globe.

UNLIKE ANY OTHER LUMINOSITY.

The 24-hour GMT bezel features micro gas tubes for remarkable luminosity, while the dial shines with Super LumiNova. Together, this bright combination ensures that you’ll have trusted readability in darkness to guide your every moment.

TRACK TIME AND FIND YOUR WAY.

The classic GMT tool displays two time zones simultaneously, delivering local time and home time. Yet, the 24-hour GMT hand can also act as a compass. First, set both the 12-hour and 24-hour hands to local time. Then, with the watch parallel to the ground, point the 24-hour hand in the direction of the sun. The dial’s 12 o’clock marker will point north, providing every explorer with clear direction.

MAKE CULTURE SHOCK THE ONLY SHOCK.

As the demands of globetrotting can create unexpected bumps along the way, the Navigator’s 40mm and 44mm stainless steel cases provide necessary strength to protect the mechanical movement, while our patented Amortiser® system used in the 44mm model further absorbs external shocks. In addition, the Navigator is anti-magnetic to 4,800 A/m and water resistant to 100 meters.

RISE ABOVE TEMPERATURES BELOW ZERO.

For avid explorers who venture into frigid climates, the timepiece’s movement uses cold temperature resistance oil to ensure ultimate timekeeping. Conventional oil is not sufficient, while our special oil blend guarantees reliable functionality in a temperature as low as –40°C/°F.

​A marvelous, automatic, three hand, GMT, in standard, and mid size, offerings, from Ball. Very impressive stats indeed. Thanks Mike.
 
A chicken in every pot, a Ball in every watch box... :cool2:
 
Nice to see the price point of these Ball preorders under $1k! One of these days I'm going to jump on one of these Pre-orders and add another Ball to the collection to go with my Night Train II and I'll have a full set of balls (since my other set is in my wife's purse).

The dial reminds me of this one minus the tritium tube inner bezel.

Roadwarrior,
I love the regular version of the Navy silver star. Although Navy wings are made of gold (bronze), the blue dial is beautiful.
 
The bronze limited edition was a big hit, but I wish Ball would have went with the blue dial (silver star) and placed gold aviator wings.
 
luv me big bold bad ass arabics....KARNAC sees my balls under 40 mms. in 2018 as man watches trend 35mm-39.5mm...also thinning now 12.7mm seeing under 12mm. skinny


- watching my tubes half-life fade out in real time....lurking on a BALL...prices falling as i sleep away my night-ops & dream ninja missions-


thx RW
