Trainmaster Standard Time by Ball
Swiss watchmaker Ball announces the release of a new model Trainmaster Standard Time, made in classic style. The model is devoted to the 130th anniversary of the official introduction in the United States of precise time and time zones systems. The founder of Ball was one of the pioneers of the use of the exact time in the state of Ohio in 1883.
The new Trainmaster Standard Time watch is presented in a round case with a diameter of 39.5 mm and a thickness of 10.5 mm in 18- carat pink gold. Water-resistant - 30 meters.

The hour indexes are made in the form of microtubules with the gaseous tritium. Microtubules are also installed into the hour and minute hands. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial.
