Sophisticated Retro Design Meets Tough Mechanism

The Trainmaster collection, which commemorates BALL WATCH's history as the official railroad watch of America in the 19th century, has been enhanced with the addition of the Japan-limited "Cannonball II Japan Limited" model.

The "Cannonball II Japan Limited" features an enameled dial with the date calendar removed, and carving along the outer edge, elevating the dressy chronograph to an even more refined aesthetic.

While the design is classical, this model retains the robustness and practicality expected of a railroad watch.

It is equipped with the "Spring Lock Second Anti-Shock System," which significantly reduces the risk of the watch stopping by preventing deformation and entanglement of the hairspring due to impact. Furthermore, it features the "Micro Gas Light System" on the dial and hands, which provides self-luminous illumination without the need for charging, ensuring easy readability of the time day or night.

The see-through case back reveals a new mechanism finished in red, along with a rotor engraved with the traditional "RR" logo and beautifully blued screws. It fuses advanced technology with a classic aesthetic that honors the tradition and history since the company's founding.
