The Ball Roadmaster Perseverer sets a retro-modern black dial, textured with horizontal bands, in a 40 mm case of corrosion-resistant 904L steel.
Inspired by Henry Ford
Inspired by Henry Ford’s determination, the Perseverer is a no-nonsense watch with a restrained design and clean lines. In daylight, the horizontal bands give the dial texture and depth. After dark, 16 sealed tritium gas tubes keep the time display illuminated continuously.
The tubes produce their own light without a battery or any need to be charged.
Rooted in railroad timekeeping
Ball’s focus on dependable timekeeping goes back to 1891, when Webb C. Ball set inspection standards for railroad watches after the train collision at Kipton, Ohio. Today, the Ball RR1103 automatic movement powers the hour, minute, and seconds hands and the date.
The details
Ball chose 904L stainless steel for the case because it resists corrosion. The case measures 40 mm across and 12 mm thick, with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal above the dial.
Ball rates the watch for shocks up to 5,000 Gs (5,000 times the force of gravity). The case is water-resistant to 100 meters. A stainless steel bracelet fastens with a folding clasp.
Ball presents the model as a tribute to Ford’s determination. The watch has a restrained, retro-modern design, with clean lines and a horizontally patterned dial.
Horizontal lines give the black dial texture and depth in daylight. After dark, 16 tritium tubes illuminate the time display. Inside each sealed glass tube, tritium activates a luminous coating. The tubes glow continuously, without a battery or any need to be charged by sunlight or a lamp. The glow gradually fades as the tritium decays, with a half-life of about 12.3 years.
