BALL Watch Company introduces the Roadmaster M Model A, a precision-engineered timepiece merging practical innovation with a unique mechanical alarm system. Produced in a limited edition of 333 pieces, this 41mm watch is crafted for reliability and durability. The Model A stands as a testament to BALL’s commitment to accessible, high-quality horology, equipped with BALL’s in-house Caliber RRM7379 movement and designed to support the wearer in various settings.
Precision and Practicality with the AlarmMATIC System
At the heart of the Model A is the patented AlarmMATIC system, designed with a mechanical alarm function that uses BALL’s signature hammer-gong construction. With a clear, school-bell chime that lasts approximately 18 seconds, the alarm provides utility for various occasions, from wake-up calls to timely reminders. The alarm crown, positioned at 4 o’clock, allows for 5-minute interval settings, enabling precision in alarm use—a feature uncommon in automatic watches.
Enhanced Readability in Low Light
The Roadmaster M Model A incorporates BALL’s renowned micro gas tube technology, illuminating the baton markers for enhanced night visibility. A rainbow motif across the markers adds a subtle flair, while a secondary gas tube under the alarm setting disc ensures that this function is accessible even in low-light conditions. This thoughtful design feature supports legibility across all environments, underscoring BALL’s commitment to functional aesthetics.
Robust Build and 904L Stainless Steel Case
Built with a 904L stainless steel case measuring 41mm in diameter and 15.2mm in height, the Model A is designed to withstand challenging conditions. The alloy’s increased resistance to corrosion and rust results from the addition of chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and copper, setting this timepiece apart from those crafted with standard-grade steel. Finished with drilled lugs, the case combines robust construction with a refined profile, supporting both daily wear and demanding activities.
Advanced Movement for Multi-Zone Timekeeping
Equipped with BALL’s in-house automatic GMT caliber RRM7379, the Model A is designed for accuracy with a range of -4 to +6 seconds per day. This movement powers both the mechanical alarm and a GMT hand for secondary time zone tracking. A scratch-resistant 24-hour ceramic bezel allows for the tracking of a third time zone, appealing to global travelers who rely on precise timekeeping. The dual mainsprings within the movement ensure ample power for both the alarm and timekeeping functions, providing consistency for the wearer.
Transparent Case Back and Amortiser® Anti-Shock System
The sapphire crystal case back reveals the intricate construction of the hammer-gong alarm system, giving wearers an inside view of the Model A’s mechanics. BALL’s Amortiser® anti-shock system further fortifies the movement against impacts, enhancing durability and ensuring that each component operates with maximum precision.
