"original"



This year marks the 15th anniversary of the long-selling series "Engineer Hydrocarbon", which first appeared in 2004.



A flagship series that makes full use of technology developed and researched by BALL Watch. Visibility has been achieved. It has the latest high specs and a fresh retro impression that allows you to enjoy the "unique" ball watch.








The first thing to notice is the two-layered dial. A self-luminous micro gaslight is incorporated in the lower layer, and the upper layer is layered like a sandwich with a hole in the index section. As a result, the shape of the micro-gaslight on the dial becomes free, and dot and triangle indexes are possible as in this work.







In addition, the position of the micro gas light is recessed, making the light emitting point clearer and more visible, and the contrast with the brushed black dial is beautiful. There are 12 micro gaslights on the dial, and a total of 15, including the hour, minute, and second hands.







You can't miss the fact that it is full of "original functions".

Equipped with a patented technology "Spring Lock Earthquake Resistance System" as a mechanism to increase impact resistance. In the event of an impact, the cage acts like a guardrail to prevent excessive movement of the balance spring, preventing deformation and tangling of the balance spring, mitigating the effects of impact by up to 66%. It also has a patented "spring seal earthquake resistance system", which holds down and fixes the speed needle that finely adjusts the delay and advance of the clock with a special plate. These neutralize any external damage and maintain high accuracy.







In addition, the "Amotizer Shock Absorbing Ring" that protects the movement and the "Safety Lock Crown System" (patented) that guards the crown are adopted. As for the impact resistance of the watch itself, it has been tested to exceed the international standard ISO1413 shock resistant wristwatch items, guaranteeing the highest level of mechanical watch shock resistance specs of 7,500 Gs.

As for magnetism, it has a magnetic resistance spec of 80,000A/m by equipping it with a movement holder and inner case made by Mu Metal. Smartphones, PCs, smart keys, home appliances, etc. If you are worried about the "magnetic belt" that is in your watch by bringing it closer, of course you can take care of it. However, in the first place, it would be nice to be able to protect the watch from the magnetism that lurks in everyday life. A ball watch is the only brand in this price range that has such high anti-magnetic properties.







The screw-in crown and caseback ensure water resistance of 200m, which is the standard for divers' watches. The unidirectional rotating bezel, which measures the diving time, incorporates a design with excellent drainage to prevent rust and facilitate maintenance. Its surface is made of hard sapphire crystal, allowing you to clearly see the progress underwater or at night.







The Engineer Hydrocarbon series has evolved dramatically over the past 15 years, armed with professional high specs that overturn the common sense of mechanical watches. The “Engineer Hydrocarbon Original” is a special timepiece that packs a high-precision self-winding movement of a COSC-certified chronometer and a number of high-performance and unique ball watch technologies into a diver's style that is conscious of returning to the origin.
