An Outdoor Watch Featuring Moonphase and Tide Graph | BALL WATCH

The "Moon Navigator," equipped with moon phase and tide graph functions, has been released from the "Engineer Hydrocarbon" series, the flagship collection of BALL WATCH, which develops practical mechanical watches.

The moon phase mechanism uses BALL WATCH's proprietary self-powered micro gas lights, integrated beneath the disc, to make the mysterious waxing and waning of the moon visible even in darkness. The tide graph function, by combining an inner disc displaying the day of the week for two weeks with a bi-directional rotating outer bezel and pre-setting the high tide and low tide times for the following day, allows users to ascertain the sea level in advance. This enables users to select appropriate time slots for activities such as surfing or sea fishing, depending on their purpose.

Naturally, its watch functions are also comprehensive. Thirty-six self-powered micro gas lights are arranged on the dial and hands to enhance legibility in the dark. It boasts shock resistance of 7500 Gs, magnetic resistance of 4800 A/m, and 100-meter water resistance, making it a mechanical watch ideal for outdoor activities.
