This is a watch you can like this watch from the brand I consider to be the King of Luminous watches. Why? The new BALL Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster now has a cool rotating bezel with an green H3 micro gas light at 12 o’clock and additional numbers and markers coated with a luminescent blue paint. The case is stainless steel, 41.5mm in diamter with BALL’s patented crown guard. There is also a patented triple folding clasp that that allows the bracelet to be extended by 22mm and thus the watch worn over a space (or other) suit (LOL how many astronaut readers do we have here). The watch is water resistant to 333 meters and has a COSC certified (aka very accurate) movement made by ETA. Basically it is a workhorse watch, and I would expect this to be priced somewhere between $3,000 and $3,500, which seems about right for what you are getting. I bet this watch looks just fantastic in the dark!
Dial close up – check that bezel lume!
