The Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon AeroGMT (42mm) COSC Sled Driver Limited Edition DG2018C-P17C-BK watch delivers excellent features such as high durability, precision and excellent workmanship. This watch has a classic "diver" design and is a great tool not only in tougher conditions, but also for everyday wear. This model catches the eye at first glance with its massive patented crown protection. The GMT function, i.e. the second time zone indicator, will be especially useful for travellers. This limited edition of 1,990 pieces was produced in honor of the book "Sled Driver" by Brian Shull, pilot of the iconic Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane.
The case of the Ball DG2018C-P17C-BK is made of stainless steel and is completed with a rubber strap. Inside the case works a Swiss mechanical automatic movement Ball RR1201-C (the basis is ETA 2893), which works at a frequency of 28800 semi-frequencies per hour and has a GMT function - that is, an indicator of the second time zone in the form of the fourth hand. The machine is COSC certified. Thanks to this, it can carry the "Chronometer" designation and meets the strictest requirements for precision operation. At the traditional position 3 we find the date display.
The watch is also impact-resistant to 7500 Gs, which corresponds to a fall of up to 1.5 metres without damaging the movement. To display the next time zone, a bidirectionally rotating sapphire GMT lunette is used, which is equipped with the brand's typical tritium luminescent H3 tubes. This ensures that it can be used seamlessly even in the dark.
The perfectly clear dial is protected by a sapphire crystal that is maximally scratch-resistant. An anti-reflective coating provides excellent legibility even in direct sunlight. Readability in the dark is ensured by the H3 tritium luminescent tubes on the hands and indexes. These ensure reliable luminosity regardless of previous illumination, unlike the classic luminescent coating. The water resistance of this watch is 100m and is supported by a screw-down crown and a special patented crown protector, so it can easily handle swimming, for example.
Sled Driver is a book by the pilot of the iconic Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane , Brian Shull. It is a hopelessly sold-out publication in which he describes his aerial experiences with this twin-engine jet-powered strategic reconnaissance aircraft. It is characterized by high speed flight at high altitudes - maximum speed: M = 3.29 (3,530 km/h) at 24,000m. This unique limited edition numbers 1990 pieces for the whole world.

Pilot's Watches Ball Dive Watches Engineer Hydrocarbon Engineer Hydrocarbon Sports Watches Swiss Watch Steel Limited edition Mechanical
In 1891, two trains collided at Kipton Station in Ohio, USA, claiming 8 lives. The watch of one of the train drivers, who unknowingly stopped for 4 minutes, was to blame. Jeweler and railway inspector Webster Clay Ball was tasked with setting new standards for the accuracy and control of track staff watches. The Swiss Accuracy Society (known as COSC) was even inspired by its strict requirements to create its own accuracy parameters for watches, known as the Chronometer.
The original Ball's jewelry store in Cleveland gradually grew into the Ball Watch Company, which began producing reliable and high-quality watches. Of course, precision and quality also adorn today's production, which is produced in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, under the prestigious Swiss Made label. A large part of it has a COSC chronometer certification. We can also add our own patented technologies, such as the SpringLOCK® and Amortiser® impact systems, the helium valve directly in the crown, the patented crown protection, or the A-PROOF® antimagnetic system. The highlight of all this is the Ball Chronometer Manufacture Caliber 7309 in-house movement with a power reserve of 80 hours and COSC certification. You can also rely on H3 tritium luminescence on all Ball watches, which ensures 100% readability in the dark, regardless of previous lighting!
Today's Ball watches, which have exclusively mechanical movements, therefore offer models suitable not only for railway tracks, but also for rougher use, or even underwater. Thanks to the top processing, however, they will make you a lot of joy even during everyday wear.
