There’s an updated version of the Ball Engineer III on their site right now, ready for pre-order. The Arabic edition has big bold numbers, the famous gas tube lume, plus a COSC grade in-house movement inside the 40mm case. It’s a quality option for under £1700 and we love the blue and white dial versions the best.

Here’s the word from Ball;

Measuring 40mm in diameter and only 11.5mm in thickness, the case delivers not only the versatility and comfort for every occasion, but also the strength. The remarkably thin size fits exceptionally well under various gear as well as dress attire, while the 904L steel excels in harsh environments. Featuring extra amounts of chromium, molybdenum, nickel and copper, 904L steel provides superior resistance to corrosion, rust and acids, along with unique hardness that allows it to withstand extreme conditions. Under the anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the solid dial is available in gradient black, blue, green and solid white colors with large 6, 9 and 12 Arabic numerals adding bold personality.
