I really like this one. One of the first Ball models I have really liked.

check this out -





Limited Edition of 1,999 Pieces

The latest from Ball Watch pays tribute to the men who brave the most extreme conditions in the name of science, storm chasers. It features a tachometer and a rangefinder, both of which can rapidly become life-saving functions when it is a matter of evaluating the distance and speed of a discharge sometimes exceeding 100 million volts. The caseback has an engraving of Josh Wurman's Doppler on Wheels. He was the first man to mount a weather radar on his truck to analyse and understand the structure of these phenomena.



The case, in stainless steel black PVD, measures 43mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 100 meters.

Movement is the Swiss automatic ETA caliber Valjoux 7750 with 25 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours.

The black dial features 66 micro-tubes of tritium gas for optimal legibility.

Gotta add the Stormchaser to my grail list, Ball is my favorite brand. The 66 tubes just adds an additional feature that makes this shout, 'buy me'

Very nice. One of Ball's better designs as some can be a little plain.

One of the main things that I like about some Ball watches is the "plain" look. I love the Night Train for its simplicity. When the GENERAL RAILROAD TIMEPIECE STANDARDS took effect in 1893 railroad grade watches had pretty plain dials. Like aviator watches they were very easy to read and hard to mistake. I'm not a fan of the overly complicated Ball watches (I do love some busy dials on other brands but, not on the Balls). Classic understated elegance....or something like that...lol (just my humble opinion)
