As an anniversary piece that celebrates BALL Watch railroad heritage, they drew inspiration from a BALL vintage open face pocket watch that featured a Montgomery dial design. The eye-catching outer track with individual minutes numbered from one to sixty in contrasting red and black colours first gained popularity at the turn of the 20th century. This design allows for precise reading of the minute markings and it was the answer to the then raising demand for greater reliability of the railroad timing instruments.
While the bold black numerals on white enamel dial is an unmistakable railroad watch design, the details that go into recreating the vintage look do not stop there. From the classic seconds hand of the timepiece to the blue Poires Roskopf hands, the similarities between the old and the new are instantly recognizable. In addition, designers at Ball Watches have ingeniously incorporated the trademark “BALL & Co.” to form the numeral seven, a small details to make the Railroad Standard 130 Years extra special.
