Roadmaster M Model A (link)
GREATNESS IS CALLING .. Pre-order starts on 31 October 2024
A sound. A spark. A reminder that greatness is waiting for all of us. Ringing with the pleasant school bell sound of its patented mechanical alarm, the Roadmaster M Model A gives you a shot of practicality, from early morning wake-up calls to after-hours adventure. The alarm is powered by BALL Manufacture Caliber RRM7379, our new automatic in-house alarm GMT movement encased in 904L stainless steel. Years in the making, the Model A stands as proof that setbacks cannot silence our ambition to equip you with practical, precise, tough and accessible watches. To empower you to make a statement loud and clear.Available exclusively in our online shop and limited to 333 pieces only, the Roadmaster M Model A offers an exceptional price-performance mix and sets new mechanical alarm standards.

BRIGHT SOUND MEETS BOLD GLOW.
Smart engineering is everywhere: inside and out, day and night. The layered construction of the dial retains the minimalistic style of BALL Watch’s signature design, with hour markers formed by baton-shaped self-powered micro gas tubes. The rainbow motif adds a subtle flair in darkness. But there's more going on beneath the surface. The center layer, which is actually the alarm setting disc, has a gas tube mounted underneath to ensure the alarm can be easily set in low-light environments. For the first time, you get the best in sight paired with bold sound.
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDEST.
This is not a whisper. This is a crystal-clear shout to the watchmaking world. Years in the making, our BALL Manufacture Caliber RRM7379 features our patented mechanical alarm, the “AlarmMATIC” system. The ring-shaped gong – meticulously developed by our designers in-house – is further protected by an outer layer of specially made polymer. This twin-material structure isolates the high-pitched bell and eliminates unwanted noise. The ideal striking frequency and force of the one-piece hammer were meticulously calculated, resulting in a crisper and purer chime than ever before. In all, every component has been precisely engineered and positioned for maximum sound quality.With unprecedented accuracy – the hammer strikes the gong and produces a pleasant school bell sound that runs for approximately 18 seconds when fully powered. Its timbre delivers the ideal volume, offering a sound that is not only louder than other automatic watches but also lasts longer. While this magnificent hammer-gong interplay is visible through the sapphire crystal case back, 12 hidden openings on the middle layer of the dial enhance the sound experience even more.

SIMPLY SOUNDBREAKING.
Compared to other watch brands, the Model A gives you 5-minute interval alarm setting for a wider range of times around the 12-hour dial. The crown at 4 o’clock is the all-in-one control for the alarm function, including manual winding, setting, engaging or silencing the alarm.True to its automatic nature, the Model A is self-winding. That means you just have to wear the watch in order to power the movement’s two mainsprings: one to power the standard timekeeping functions, and the other to power the alarm. If the watch has been unworn for an extended period of time, sufficiently wind the alarm manually as needed to ensure maximum performance.

TAKE YOUR SENSES ALONG FOR THE RIDE.
From its sound and shine all the way to its steel, the Model A is simply radiant. Measuring 41mm in diameter and 15.2mm thick, the 904L stainless steel case provides the touch of comfortable curves and extreme performance. Its unique chemical composition features extra amounts of chromium, molybdenum, nickel and copper – in comparison to other grades of steel – resulting in superior corrosion and rust resistance. With style and strength, including lugs drilled with screws, the 904L case is equal parts trusted ally and utter showstopper.

BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL.
When greatness calls, the Model A is ready with more – more precision, practicality and purpose. Our in-house alarm GMT caliber beats with remarkable Swiss-made precision, delivering an accuracy range of -4 to +6 seconds per day. It powers the patented mechanical alarm as well as the quick-set GMT hand that allows you to easily read a secondary time zone – while the highly scratch-resistant 24-hour ceramic bezel lets you track the time in a third geographic zone. No matter where or when, the Model A is an automatic watch ready to help you accomplish more of what you crave.
