Ball NM2098C-S5J-BK Fireman Victory 40mm Watch with Black Dial and Stainless Steel Bracelet

Fireman Victory
In 1891, Webster C. Ball was commissioned to set the official railroad standard of timekeeping in the United States. He spent a good part of his life helping to design a timepiece that fulfilled the requirements of an accurate watch, one that would withstand the rigors of the rough handling and dirt that was inherent in the railroad industry.

Great tribute to the railroads, the Fireman Victory is taking center stage with several new designs, each more elegant than the others. Options ranging from a quite plain dial design, a sunburst pattern to a more sophisticated Clou de Paris pattern and being available in black, blue or silver, every single cosmopolitan fellow will find what he is looking for.

BALL Watch Co. not only distinguishes itself by providing accuracy under adverse conditions, it also strives to illuminate the human spirit alongside its unique micro gas tubes, which glow for up to 25 years without requiring recharge from any outside light or energy source. Suited for elegant evenings, the Fireman Victory will blow the minds in the dark and surprise everyone with its subtle luminosity. A total of 14 micro gas tubes have been placed on the hour and minute hands as well as the dial indexes. This state-of-the-art Swiss technology used by BALL Watch consists in encapsulating H3 gas in glass micro tubes. Light energy is released when the H3 molecules strike the internal colored surface of the tubes. The powerful light emitted naturally and continuously by the H3 gas means that you can read the time in pitch darkness. Furthermore, its luminosity is up to a hundred times more effective than other light sources commonly used in watchmaking.

Powered by the BALL RR1103 caliber, this three-hand piece features a date display between 4 and 5 o’clock, is water resistant to 100m/330ft and can resist shocks up to 5,000Gs. In a desire to make this watch suitable for any occasion, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a screwed-in crown have been opted for. Made in a diameter of 40mm, this elegant model will delight every urban explorer.

Today, more than ever, BALL Watch is continuing its journey and asserting its role as a key protagonist in the exploration of modern time and the evolution of watchmaking history.
