BALL Watch Company now announces a new limited edition in the Engineer Master series, the Engineer Master II Diver TMT. 


On Wednesday September 6, 2006, BALL Explorer Guillaume Néry dove in Villefranche-sur-Mer to attempt his third World Record in the daring sport of free diving.  When he rose to the surface, he reclaimed the World Record with a dive to -109 meters.  

Inspired by the incredible pursuit, BALL Watch Company has developed a special watch in a limited run of 2006 pieces to commemorate Néry’s accomplishment.

Guillaume patiently trains, practicing yoga, meditation and tai-chi to balance out his physical exercise. He must achieve complete control over his body and breath during his challenging dives. The results are astounding: three world records by the age of 25.

Our partnership with a young athlete of the caliber of Guillaume Néry embodies the founding values and philosophy of the BALL Watch brand – youth, enthusiasm, determination and performance.  These qualities continue to drive BALL designers who last year launched the Engineer Master II Diver that Guillaume tested during his rigorous preparations for the record-breaking dive.

The BALL Engineer Master II Diver TMT provides the simplest safest solution for timing a dive. The rotating inner bezel operates with a screwed-down crown to ensure that the bezel cannot move under water. The red-colored O-rings seal the case for deep diving to 300 meters and also provide a handy visual cue that the crown is not completely screwed in.



The BALL Engineer Master II Diver TMT is capable of measuring environmental temperature from –30 to 110°F (-35 to 45°C) with a precision of 3% that is only achievable by a mechanical thermometer. The measurement is easily read from the round indicator at 6 o’clock.  The BALL caliber 9018 movement that powers the watch ensures it will function perfectly from –40 to 140°F (-40 to 60°C) without any adverse affect on accuracy.

The black color of the Diver TMT case is not simply a matter of style.  The Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) of the case provides several benefits.  Metals coated with DLC exhibit impressive hardness, low friction, high resistance to wear, and even electrical insulation. Research shows that DLC dramatically improves the performance and life of any material.


For deep diving, illumination is necessary to read the diver’s timepiece.  At the depth of 100 meters that Guillaume reaches on a regular basis, the ambient light is about 1% of surface light.  Recreational and professional Scuba Divers can often reach depths far lower. With 41 BALL micro gas tubes integrated into the rotating bezel, the diver will never have to worry about lighting again. The dial and hands also feature our micro gas tubes, giving a total of 53.
