Ball Roadmaster Watches

Ball Roadmaster Review

This Collection is made up of similar yet strikingly different types of watches for different people.
Most of the watches in this collection feature colorful micro gas lights which are peculiar to this brand of watches. These watches have impressive readability. The timepieces in this collection also have a chronometer-certified movement for accuracy. There are a couple of watches in this collection, but we will be focusing on a few like the Challenger, Marine, Skipper, and others. This collection has clearly blown the mind of watch enthusiasts, and as we go into this review, I’m quite sure that it will also blow your mind.

Ball Roadmaster M Challenger 18 Watch

The first of the Ball Roadmaster Challenge is the M Challenger 18. This timepiece is powered by the Caliber 7309, an in-house movement that is owned and manufactured by Ball. The Caliber 7309 can beat at the rate of 28,000 BPH and it also offers an 80-hour power reserve.
The Roadmaster M Challenger 18 comes in two different sizes which are 43mm and 40mm. they also have diverse colorways. You can buy the black dial with an identical bezel, black dial with a blue bezel, blue dial with an identical bezel, and blue dial with a black bezel. The watch also provides the choice of having the timepiece on a rubber two-piece strap or on a stainless steel bracelet.
The design of the watches is sports-like and neat. The watches use markers instead of numerals, but on the bezel, the numbers 15, 30, and 45 show the minutes. In the space where the marker for three is meant to be, there is a slot showing the day. The watches also use the IWC Aquatimer which is consistent in some of Ball’s older watches.

Ball Roadmaster Challenger 18 Watch

The Ball Roadmaster Challenger 18 is very similar to the Roadmaster M Challenger in the case of the case sizes, colors, and if the timepiece is set on rubber or stainless. And so, this model also provides diverse choices for one to pick from.
Even though they are similar in this and also in design, the clear difference between the two watches lays in the movement. A COSC-certified ETA 2836-2 impressively powers the Roadmaster Challenger 18. Because of this, instead of having just a day in the space of three, the dial has a day-date compilation.

Ball Roadmaster Challenge 18 TMT Watch

This watch is quite different from the other Ball Roadmaster Challenger watches. The watch has a mechanical thermometer inbuilt in the watch where six is meant to be. Ball developed and built the thermometer into the base movement of the watch and it is a proprietary module of Ball. For almost perfect accuracy, the watch uses a bimetallic coil. Apart from this impressive difference, this Ball watch Roadmaster is offered in two sizes and also offers the different color combinations that the other Ball Roadmaster Challenger watches offer. The watch can also be purchased on a rubber strap or stainless steel bracelet. An additional choice is that you can also buy the model in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
The design of the Challenge 18 TMT is similar to the other Roadmaster Challenger watches.

Ball Roadmaster Marine GMT

The Ball Roadmaster Marine features an improved Sellita caliber that makes the one-of-a-kind caller GMT along with an independently-set GMT instead of a traveler GMT. When using the Ball Roadmaster Marine GMT, you don’t use the crown to set the GMT. Instead, you use a module that is provided by Ball in this model. By pushing buttons, you can adjust the hands to change the time and also the date.
The watch also has an impressive glow in the dark feature that is consistent with most of the Ball watches through 27 tritium tubes in this model. The tritium tubes don’t need to be charged, neither do they have any non-radioactive effects. The Roadmaster Marine watch has sapphire crystals, a screw-down crown and it is water-resistant up to 200 meters. The movement is an automatic RR1203-C caliber which is made in-house in Ball.
The design of the Roadmaster Marine GMT is classically a sleek sports watch design, though the numerals in the dial are a bit large, they are 12, 6 and 9. As usual, 3 is replaced by the day and month. On the bezel, the minutes are alternated between multiples of 2 and dots.
The size of the entire watch is 40mm in a titanium case, and the dials can be black or blue. The Roadmaster Marine watch also has a limited edition of 1,000 models but you can easily purchase one from Exquisite Timepieces.

The two watches also feature micro gas tubes that make it glow in the dark even underwater. Apart from reading the time instantly in the dark, the bezel also includes micro gas tubes too. Firstly, the Ball Roadmaster Skipper features the RR1102-C caliber which is quite mechanical and if provides the precision of CSOC certification on your wrist.

Ball Roadmaster Vanguard Watch
