Such distinctive style is rare in today's world of homogenized design, and should be celebrated because of it. Their watches are unapologetically professional in appearance and spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat imposing stainless steel case is listed as 42mm, but it closer to 45mm across the bezel, with a thickness of 14mm and and a 53mm lug-to-lug. It's quite broad in measurement, but it cleverly utilises a heavily cambered case to allow it to fit wrists that other 45mm's would overwhelm. One of the most distinctive styling features of the case is the crown protector, which uses a sliding lock to ensure the crown is securely in place and ensure that 100m of water resistance is intact. Inboard of this sits the 24hr bi-directional bezel with a lovely action and sapphire cap for scratch resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin this case lies a deep black textured dial with the signature Ball tritium tubes ensuring it stays legible at all hours of the day. Being a GMT, it has an independently adjustable GMT hand, as well as quick set date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering it is the Ball RR1201-C (ETA 2893-2) automatic with COSC certification. It's currently mounted to a fantastic bracelet with double easy-link style adjustment built into the clasp, as well as some micro-adjustment so getting the perfect fit is a cinch. It also comes with a rubber strap that is very supple, as well as a fabric strap, so you can change up the look and feel whenever you'd like. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular one-owner piece was first delivered in 2018 and presents in TZ 'Excellent' condition. The case shows only very minor hairlines and swirls, with no dings\/nicks etc present. Case back has a small engraving of the original owners name which was done by Ball before delivery. Please see images for full condition details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet includes all links, and shows minor desk dive marks. Rubber strap is in excellent condition, and the fabric strap is unworn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll functions operating as they should. Was given a service under warranty in 2020.
