The Ball Watch Company started making watches in 1891, and it has been upholding the most demanding benchmarks of accuracy and reliability ever since. Couple that with a history closely linked to the American railways and throw in a remarkable quality-to-price ratio, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a deal.
This rendition of Ball’s flagship tool watch, the Fireman, was inspired by the coolest hobby in existence – Storm chasing. That is the act of pursuing a storm, one that often involves a tornado or another type of extreme weather phenomenon, in order to document and study it. As its name indicates, it was built to endure the most extreme of conditions while maintaining flawless accuracy and reliability. Its aesthetics further testify to the same idea, with a functional dial layout that utilizes contrasting colors supplemented by 15 microtubes filled with tritium gas to ensure optimal legibility without the need of any sunlight whatsoever. The Stormchaser Pro’s case blends mirror-polished and finely-brushed surfaces, which highlight its aggressive architecture and serve as a visual reminder of its toughness and resilience.
Inside, tucked away behind the embossed caseback, the Ball caliber RR1402 is ticking confidently away, unaffected by the comings and goings of the outside world.
Our offering is brand new, comes equipped with its original bracelet and is in a full set of boxes and papers (warranty not stamped).
The watch is covered by 2 years of limited warranty from ChronoTimepieces.
