ENGINEER III MARVELIGHT CHRONOMETER
A MODERN CLASSIC, EXPANDED.
The latest addition to our popular Marvelight Chronometer series is back with new feature and material. Forged from the superior 904L steel, we have modified the COSC certified movement so that the power reserve hand is seamlessly integrated into the central pivot, while the indication scale is located at the six o’clock position. Paired with 1,000 Gauss anti-magnetic protection, and rainbow or classic micro gas tube luminosity. Resulting in the ultimate explorer’s watch built to withstand extreme conditions.
EXCEPTIONALLY UNIQUE. UNDENIABLY BRIGHT.

While each hour marker is made up of a 1mm tube fitted to an applied index, the minute markers are micro gas tubes that shine through die-cuts in the dial. The integration of our famous tritium tubes below the dial allows for greater versatility in design – and more glow in darkness.

So what’s your choice: a rainbow light show or classic glow?
A SHOW OF ULTIMATE INGENUITY.

An expertly designed power reserve indicator for unified style and high practicality. With all watch hands originating from the center, the design creates a wider angle perspective and easy readability of the power reserve hours.

SPECIAL, LIMITED-TIME PRICE.

Available exclusively online, pre-order yours before 21 April 2021 at an exclusive price.

ENGINEER III MARVELIGHT CHRONOMETER​

A MODERN CLASSIC, EXPANDED.​

Superior corrosion resistance, virtually indestructible strength and brilliant polish. The new Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer is forged from 904L stainless steel – a material unlike any other in watchmaking, resulting in the ultimate explorer’s watch built to withstand extreme conditions. Design ingenuity is the name of the game. Not only have we employed a unique technique to set the micro gas tubes, the incomparable luminosity also comes in 2 different colorways: a classic glow or a rainbow motif. Inside, the C.O.S.C. certified movement with 42-hour power reserve has been expertly modified by our watchmakers, the power reserve hand is seamlessly integrated into the central pivot, while the indication scale is located at the six o’clock position. With patented protection guarantees flawless performance, the watch that once ran America’s railroads now empowers world explorers to live freely and fearlessly.

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. In the Marvelight Chronometer series, micro gas tubes not only adorn the dial and all three hands, but also light up the minute track. They shine automatically in darkness, so you can rely on bright time reading at a glance during any expedition and in all conditions. Two vastly different techniques are employed to fasten the delicate micro gas tubes above and underneath the dial. The baton-shaped gas tubes proudly represent each hour marker as well as the 3 hands, while those for the minute track are placed below the dial to the design crisp and clean.

With the classic version, the green, yellow and orange gas tubes create a harmony of light. In the fanciful rainbow version, 6 different gas tube colors present multi-colored lightshow. The tritium tubes require no form of charging and last for an extensive period of time.​

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 Marvelight Chronometer 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 AND INGENUITY.​

Encased in toughness, the movement and its precision ensure that exploration never stops. And thanks to testing by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (C.O.S.C.), the timepiece is a certified mechanical chronometer built to deliver perfect time keeping in the most imperfect conditions.

Featuring a 42-hour power reserve for when the watch is unworn, the in-house modification of the movement allows all 4 watch hands originating from the center, creating a wider angle perspective and ensuring easy readability of the power reserve hours.

HANDLES ALL THE KNOCKS ALONG THE WAY.​

With a case forged from 904L stainless steel, the Marvelight Chronometer is built for adventure everywhere. In addition to its tough material, the movement is safeguarded by our patented Amortiser® anti-shock system and anti-magnetic protection to an intensity of 80,000 A/m (1,000 Gauss). In adverse conditions, ultimate performance never skips a beat. The timepiece features a solid case back and 100m water resistance.
