The Matterhorn, still towering 160 years after its first ascent, remains a fitting metaphor for the relentless pursuit of greatness. BALL Watch Company channels that same spirit into the latest evolution of its Engineer III Outlier, a true GMT tool watch limited to 1000 pieces per variation. Forged from ultra durable 904L stainless steel and now featuring a newly tapered bracelet, the Outlier blends robust utility with refined design. Its bi-directional ceramic bezel returns in a striking red and blue configuration, reinforcing the watch’s explorer credentials while offering practical functionality for tracking global time zones.
This isn’t GMT for the sake of looks, it’s built for purpose. The independent 12 hour hand allows for quick local time adjustments without interrupting the movement of the minute or seconds hands, while the inner 24 hour ring and outer rotating bezel work in tandem to monitor up to three time zones. Visibility is a hallmark of BALL design, and the Outlier doesn’t disappoint. Micro gas tubes glow continuously without requiring external charging, with twin markers at 12 o’clock for instant orientation and a luminous GMT hand for clarity in low light. The ceramic bezel also gets the Super LumiNova treatment, ensuring the entire watch remains legible in any condition.
Inside, the COSC certified RRM7337C movement delivers chronometer grade precision, protected by a proprietary mu metal shield for anti magnetic resistance up to 1000 Gauss, outperforming traditional soft iron solutions. Add in 200 meters of water resistance and BALL’s shock resistant Amortiser system, and the Outlier stands ready for anything from deep expeditions to daily wear. Available in a range of dial colors including a standout turquoise, this is a watch that proves capability and character can coexist without compromise.
