The Ball Trainmaster Eternity is a slim, easy-to-wear dress watch with a blue day-and-date dial, tritium lighting, and a crocodile leather strap.
Rooted in Ball’s railroad history
Early railroad watches bore the “Ball’s Standard” marking, a sign of the inspection standards Webb C. Ball set after the 1891 train collision at Kipton, Ohio. The Trainmaster collection draws on that history.
Easy to read, day or night
The Eternity has a clear blue dial showing the time, weekday, and date. Fourteen sealed tritium tubes keep the hands and hour markers illuminated continuously, without needing to be charged by light. The watch slips easily under a shirt cuff, at the office or at dinner.
The details
The Ball RR1102 automatic movement provides a 38-hour power reserve. A sapphire case back reveals the automatic movement and its winding rotor, while an anti-reflective sapphire crystal covers the blue dial. The stainless steel case measures 39.5 mm across and 11.8 mm thick, with a screw-down crown.
Shock resistance is rated at 5,000 Gs (5,000 times the force of gravity), and the case is water-resistant to 30 meters. The crocodile leather strap fastens with a folding clasp.
The name recalls the timekeeping and inspection standards associated with Webb C. Ball’s railroad work after the 1891 Kipton collision. Early watches bore the Ball’s Standard marking, and Trainmaster draws on that history.
It provides a view of the Ball RR1102 automatic movement and its winding rotor. The movement drives the time, weekday, and date and has a 38-hour power reserve.
No. This watch uses 14 tritium gas tubes. Inside each sealed glass tube, tritium activates a luminous coating. The tubes glow continuously, without a battery or any need to be charged by sunlight or a lamp. The glow gradually fades as the tritium decays, with a half-life of about 12.3 years.
After setting or winding, return the crown to its closed position and screw it fully into the case before contact with water. Correct closure is needed to maintain the rated water resistance.
