Design and specifications
Starting with watch size, the BALL Watch Engineer III Pioneer comes in a fairly standard size for an exploration watch, at exactly 40mm in diameter and 12.45mm thick/height. The body of the watch is not too big in size, nor is it too heavy, so you can expect to be able to get a very comfortable fit on your wrist.
At the top and bottom ends of the watch, we have two extremely durable sets of watch lugs (also known as “watch bezels”), which feature a precise 20mm horizontal distance from one lug to the other, and a precise vertical spacing of 46.6mm between the upper and lower sets of watch lugs.
When it comes to the construction of this watch, know that the Engineer III Pioneer has a very durable case, as its case is made entirely of high quality 904L stainless steel, which ultimately gives the watch a massive 5000G shock resistance, along with superior anti-magnetic protection up to to 80,000 A/m against any nearby magnetic fields.
On the back side of the watch case, there is a screw-down 904L stainless steel case back beautifully stamped with the official BALL Watch logo, which the case back is also just as durable as the front side of the watch.

While the watch’s 904L stainless steel case gives it a gorgeous brushed silver body with a luxurious shiny finish, the watch face/dial inside its stainless steel case comes in a subtle flat black (or navy blue if you choose another color model) that gives the watch its The finish looks very professional, especially with the contrast provided by its stainless steel body.

With its sophisticated Caliber BALL RR1103-C automatic hand and date movement, this exploration watch never needs a battery.
It’s also worth noting that the dial also incorporates large, bold numeral markers at the 12, 6, and 9 o’clock positions (while the 3 o’clock position is discreetly occupied by the hour’s date window), which makes reading time from the watch dial fairly easy, even with a quick glance.
Last but not least, the Engineer III Pioneer also boasts of its amazing self-powered lighting technology that is powered solely by 28 individual tubes of H3 high quality micro tritium gas tubes, which are separately integrated into all clock hands (including the hours, minutes and seconds hands). ) as well as on its dial which glows dramatically in low-light conditions with bright green and orange light colors, ultimately providing users with a great illumination of the watch face that makes its entire dial completely legible during nighttime use.
