The new Engineer Master II Diver TMT uses a Ball Caliber 9018 automatic movement, and is guaranteed to function at temperatures of -40 to 140°F (-40 to 60°C) without any affect on accuracy. The stainless steel case is 42 mm in diameter and is coated with DLC (Diamond Like Carbon). This coating makes the case very scratch and corrosion resistant, as well as giving it a beautiful gunmetal grey color.
The TMT has a very cool mechanical thermometer that displays temperatures of -35°C to 45°C. The movement is anti-magnetic 4,800 A/m and shock resistant to 5,000 G's. The case is water resistant to 300m and comes with a unidirectional inner bezel for diving. There are 53 micro gas tubes on the hour, minute and second hands, and the dial, for excellent nighttime visibility. The crystal is anti-reflective with a solid screw-down caseback. The strap is black rubber with a buckle.
The watch is dedicated to Ball brand ambassador Guillaume Nery, so the caseback is engraved with his name. The watch also comes with a handmade miniature (1:8 scale) replica of the monofin Guillaume uses while diving.
MSRP $3499.00

Guillaume Nery is a three-time free dive world record holder and brand ambassador to Ball Watch Company. He makes dives without assistance or equipment on a regular basis to depths of 100 meters (330 feet). This is not only hard to do, it is hard to see while doing it. The ambient light is about 1% of surface light at these depths. This is where the 53 micro gas tubes (tritium) come in very handy and why he uses the EMII Diver GMT watch. The watch has a rotating inner bezel the utilizes 41 of the gas tubes with the remaining 12 being placed on the hands and dial. This illumination setup is very beneficial and allows divers to see their watch at any depth.
