Hi All, This Night Train variant on rubber strap will be available on request. Enjoy! One note- the seconds hand has since been updated to red/black. The white is replaced by red color.

Hi Jeremy,
What a great looking new Ball.
It looks like a lot of Pilot's watches on the market. With the UTC display as well. Am I right? I wasn't aware Ball made pilots watches.
Thanks for sharing.
BTW, may I ask how one would get hold of Ball watches in the UK without importing?
Rick.

It's not on the website yet, as we tend to add them shortly before release. I will post the press release on here when I have the chance. MSRP is US$1,399 for DLC case/calf strap and $1,499 for S/S case/bracelet or DLC case/rubber strap. Regards, Jeremy Hey Jeremy, Very nice, I like that one alot.. Is it on the website?

The movement is the new Ball 124, developed from the ETA 2824 base. We've added the UTC/Military Time indicator and the date warning system. I'm sorry I've not been able to get the full press release up yet, but I will get around to that shortly! I like that a lot. Is it an ETA 2893?? Nice design... And also currious about the movement...

Hi, We have limited distribution in the UK at the moment. We are with Selfridges and expanding. Kindly contact my colleague Daniel at "daniel at ballwatch.com" for full details of our retail network. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we will be updating our website soon to add distribution information. Regards, Jeremy Hi Jeremy, What a great looking new Ball.

Diamond-like Carbon coatings are the premier coating in use today for industrial and surgical applications. It protects tools like industrial saws & surgical equipment and vastly extends their life. The overall idea is to provide many of the benefits of diamond hardness. Here's our quick blurb on DLC coatings used on our watches: "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. " The Wikipedia entry offers a good, but technical, primer on DLC coatings: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon Regards, Jeremy
