Description
The Engineer II Green Berets is a combat watch combining excellence, robustness and functionality that takes its inspiration from the famous elite troops. As a reminder of BALL’s American origins, the Engineer II Green Berets has the US Army "Special Forces Airborne" insignia engraved on its case back. The 43mm black Ti C-coated titanium case is extremely light but strong against corrosion and oxidation. The screwed-in crown thus improves the model's water resistance, which is guaranteed to 100 meters. The watch's solid construction also means it can withstand impacts of up to 5, 000Gs and is protected against magnetic fields to an intensity of 4, 800A/m. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal is fitted with a Cyclops magnifying lens positioned above the window at three o’clock. The Green Berets features a nubuck leather strap with a standard buckle that gives it a decidedly retro look. The Swiss-made automatic movement drives all the basic functions of the timepiece: hours, minutes, sweep seconds and date indications. The accuracy of this mechanical caliber has earned the distinction of being deemed a certified chronometer. The indexes on the dial of the Green Berets are fitted with H3 gas micro tubes that give off a strong green glow, in tribute to the military unit from which the model takes its name. The index at 12 o'clock stands out by giving off an orange glow, while the hands are fitted with micro tubes of yellow-colored gas. This play of colors, revealed by the night, makes telling the time at a glance even easier.
