Ball 40mm Trainmaster LE S5

Ball Trainmaster Standard Time GMT Limited Edition Automatic Mens Watch NM3888D-S5CJ-WH Case Size 40mm. Limited Edition of 999 pieces globally.

The continuation of a lasting tradition. BALL Watch has been the synonym for accuracy since 1891. Inspired by a BALL vintage pocket watch from the early 20th century to represent their rich heritage and watchmaking ethos. Limited to 999 pieces, the commemorative timepiece features a 40mm case, micro gas tube luminosity and subsidiary seconds design.

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.

Even with the anti-reflective sapphire glass, the thickness of the case still remains at 11.15mm. The slim 40mm stainless steel case and tapering lugs fits perfectly on most wrist sizes. The sapphire exhibition case back allows for a glimpse into the intricate workings of the BALL RR1201-C chronometer caliber. Paired with the polished and brushed 5-link stainless steel bracelet, this classic timepiece is a quintessential everyday watch.

Just because the Trainmaster Railroad Standard 130 Years NM3888D-S5CJ-WH is a model that pays homage to the past pf Ball Watches, it does not mean they cannot incorporate modern technology into it. In all dark and low-light environments, the 15 micro gas tubes on the dial and hands shine automatically without any form of charging. The darkness-defying legibility is a vivid reminder of their enduring watchmaking heritage and commitment to improvement.
