Ball Engineer M Normandy Mens Limited Edition Automatic Watch NM2032C-S2C-BK. Case Size 40mm. Limited Edition of 800 timepieces globally. COSC Certified Chronometer.

Magnificent. Majestic. Manufacture. All befitting descriptors of the Ball Watch Engineer M series, which exclusively features the manufacture caliber movements. Designed and built completely in-house, this collection of luxury watches represents the apex of the maisons heritage and pioneering spirit.

The foundation for Ball watches is innovation and creativity which are the cornerstone of accuracy under adverse conditions. The railroad is an iconic piece of engineering, critical to the establishment of America as we know it. By the end of 1883, the rail industry had agreed to divide the country into four time zones and had adopted standard time, with the public soon following suit. In the same year, a man named Webster Clay Ball was the first jeweller to use time signals and bring accurate time to Cleveland and he was eventually appointed chief inspector for the rail lines in 1891. These exquisite timepieces continue the tradition of Webster Clay Ball who aspired to manufacture and create the most accurate mechanical watches on Earth. Designed to be used by those that live and work in truly adverse conditions, these timepieces represent inspiration mixed with outstanding engineering technical quality following the path its founder set almost 140 years ago. 

The durable and robust NM2032C-S2C-BK watch boasts a 40mm case designed to endure daily challenges. Equipped with the patented Amortiser anti-shock system, it protects the mechanical movement from external shocks. The sleek black dial features luminescent hour markers and hands, ensuring excellent readability in any condition. The stainless steel bracelet, complete with a folding buckle, adds both style and security. Functionally, the watch offers hours, minutes, sweep seconds, and a date display at 3 o’clock. It is a COSC-certified chronometer, anti-magnetic up to 4,800 A/m, and water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 bars). Powered by the automatic Calibre RRM7309-C movement, it provides an impressive 80-hour power reserve, visible through the sapphire crystal transparent case back.

Darkness is not the time to stop exploring. Rather, it’s the chance to explore like never before. With the Ball revolutionary micro gas tubes integrated directly below the domed sapphire bezel, you can easily measure elapsed time in all dark environments.With the dial’s robust 15 micro gas tubes at each hour marker and the slimmer tubes on the hour and minute hands. Whether tracking exploration or simply reading the time of day, you can trust in the powerful luminosity that shines bright in every condition.

Extreme accuracy is not only a Ball tradition, it’s also their requirement. Running on Caliber 7309-C – the Ball chronometer manufacture caliber – the Engineer M Normandy has undergone rigorous testing by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute. Going beyond ordinary autonomy, its 80-hour power reserve still maintains a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour (4Hz).

But is there exploration without adversity? When venturing into imperfect conditions, the precision is protected by the Ball patented Amortiser® anti-shock system. Reliable and robust, the Amortiser surrounds the entire movement and absorbs intense shock impact. Knock after knock, the Swiss-made mechanical movement beats with COSC precision – minute after minute.

What we like: A more perfect dress watch would be hard to imagine. The clean and clear dial with all the functionality required of a full fledged dive watch and this is the result. The Limited Edition release only adds to the overall appeal of the watch. Another winner from Ball Watches for us.
