Ball Engineer III Endurance 1917 GMT pairs an ice blue dial with an independently adjustable local hour hand and a 41 mm case of 904L stainless steel.
The Endurance 1917 GMT is designed to make local-time changes straightforward. Its Ball Manufacture RRM7337-C caliber lets the local hour hand jump in one-hour increments while the GMT hand and seconds continue running undisturbed. The date follows the local hour hand, keeping the calendar aligned with the time at your destination. You can adjust local time without resetting your home-time reading or stopping the watch. This edition is limited to 1,000 watches.
Thirty-nine sealed tritium tubes illuminate the hands and dial without an external charge. The GMT hand reads a 24-hour scale, distinguishing day and night in a second zone, while a magnifier enlarges the date. The COSC-certified movement uses oil formulated for temperatures down to -45°C.
Inside the 904L stainless steel case, a mu-metal shield redirects static and low-frequency magnetic fields around the movement. Made from nickel, iron, copper, and molybdenum, it helps keep those fields from affecting the movement’s rate, with magnetic resistance to 80,000 A/m (1,000 gauss). A protective Amortiser ring absorbs lateral shocks, so the construction addresses both magnetic interference and physical impacts.
The case measures 41 mm across and 13.15 mm thick, with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and screw-down crown. Water resistance is rated at 10 atm. A 904L stainless steel bracelet closes with a folding clasp.
Use the crown to move the local 12-hour hand in one-hour steps. The GMT hand keeps its existing reading and the seconds continue running, so home time is undisturbed. The date follows local time as the hour hand moves. This travel-oriented arrangement is often called a true GMT.
Read the GMT hand against the fixed 24-hour scale on the dial. It shows a second zone alongside local time, with a full day represented on the scale so morning and evening can be distinguished.
No. This watch uses 39 tritium gas tubes. Tritium inside each sealed glass tube activates a luminous coating continuously, without a battery or prior exposure to light. The glow gradually fades as the tritium decays, with a half-life of about 12.3 years.
Amortiser surrounds the movement with a protective ring that absorbs energy from lateral shocks. A mu-metal shield redirects static and low-frequency magnetic fields around it, helping keep them from disturbing its rate. The watch is rated to 80,000 A/m (1,000 gauss); stronger magnetic fields can exceed that protection.
It passed independent chronometer testing over 15 days, in five positions and at three temperatures. The permitted average daily rate during the test is -4 to +6 seconds. This traditional test is performed before the movement is cased, so the watch’s rate in daily wear can vary.
