Unidirectional Rotating Bezel: Used for tracking elapsed time. A ratchet mechanism prevents the bezel from rotating backwards. This feature is popular with divers, who rely on the elapsed time feature to prevent the diver from running out of air. The fact that the bezel cannot rotate backwards prevents the wearer from underestimating the elapsed time.About Rubber:
Originally harvested by the Aztecs and Mayans thousands of years ago, natural rubber comes from the sap of wild rubber trees native to Central and South America. It is collected manually by tapping, or cutting into their bark, to free the white sap known as latex. The latex is then shipped to factories where machines make it into everyday products. Highly valued for being waterproof, polyurethane rubber is an exceptionally strong form that conveniently absorbs color. It withstands abrasive environmental forces and is UV resistant, thus making it ideal for watches that will see a variety of surroundings.
Automatic: An automatic movement requires the same artful execution to create and contains virtually all of the same components as a mechanical movement - but with one notable addition. An automatic movement relies on the motion of the wearer's arm to spin an off-balanced weight called the rotor. A collection of gears inside the case utilizes the movement of the rotor to automatically wind the mainspring and power the watch. A slipping mechanism on the mainspring prevents the damaging effects of over-winding. Automatic watches require movement in order to function properly and will stop ticking after a period of dormancy when the reserve power in the mainspring is depleted. Timepieces with automatic movements are meant to be appreciated for the craftsmanship and complex aesthetic that they provide.
Ball watches have come with one simple instruction: be yourself. Each timepiece is designed to accompany you through life's ebbs and flows on the journey to self-discovery. They're useful. They're accurate. They're built to withstand a myriad of harsh conditions. They can take what life throws at them, just like you.
Founded in 1891, the brand began on America's railroads. The founder, Webb C. Ball, devised a strict standard of timekeeping for train conductors to ensure accurate departures and arrivals - and prevent catastrophic accidents. Thus, the expression, "On the Ball" came to be. Today, Ball is recognized as one of the most elite and established watch companies in the United States.
