EXCEPTIONALLY UNIQUE. UNDENIABLY BRIGHT.
While the brilliant polish of 904L steel is incredibly unique, the shine of micro gas tubes in all dark conditions is extraordinary. As a leader in luminosity, BALL continues its intelligent use of tritium tubes on the Roadmaster Icebreaker. Every hour marker and all three hands feature the revolutionary luminosity, ensuring critical time readings no matter when, no matter where.
904L STEEL: BUILT FOR THE FUTURE.
At BALL Watch Co., the pursuit of toughness is never-ending. The use of 904L grade stainless steel ensures that the Roadmaster Icebreaker is extremely durable in extreme conditions. Due to its extra amounts of chromium, molybdenum, nickel and copper, 904L steel features superior resistance to corrosion, rust and acids. While its unique hardness allows it to withstand extreme conditions, it also requires special machinery and production processes in order to be shaped. Visually, 904L grade steel has a beautifully high polish and ages exquisitely well.
The implementation of 904L stainless steel only fortifies the strength and reliability of our watchmaking, as well as our unwavering desire to build the ultimate explorer’s watch.
A SHOW OF ULTIMATE PRECISION.
The Roadmaster Icebreaker is available in two calibers: a COSC certified movement or a non-COSC certified movement. The precision of the chronometer model has been tested and proven by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute. Both movements are automatic, powered by the motion of the wearer’s everyday actions. Yet it also features a 42-hour power reserve for when the watch is unworn, while the dial features a power reserve indicator that shows the remaining hours before the movement would need to be wound by the natural movement of the wearer’s wrist or manually.
HANDLES ALL THE KNOCKS ALONG THE WAY.
With a case forged from 904L stainless steel, the Roadmaster Icebreaker is built for adventure everywhere. In addition to its tough material, the movement is safeguarded by our patented Amortiser® anti-shock system. In adverse conditions, ultimate performance never skips a beat. The timepiece features a see-through case back and 100m water resistance.

Every time I post these I think the same. They've changed the formula. At least they have been partnering with Gnomon for some nice deals too. I did pay $1,659.00 for my Roadmaster April 2017. This one is 904L steel, so the price is actually good IMO. Those lower prices had to be hurting the authorized dealers. Mine has the RR1201-C Ball version of ETA 2893-2, chronometer-rated and this new one is using calibre RR1702-C (base ETA 2897) also chronometer certified. This is actually in line with the price from two years ago.
