BALL Watch Company - Conductor Chronograph Limited Edition


ref: CM1068D-LJ-BK  
The Ball solution to reading time in the dark is the Self Powered Micro Gas Lights (3H). The 3H micro gas lights glow up to 100 times brighter than luminous paints for up to 25 years, they do not require charging from any outside light source or power source. The encapsulated tritium gas poses no risk to the wearer over the life of the watch!

The Ball Watch Company has been known for its precise railroad watches. This Ball Conductor Limited Edition Automatic Chronograph (ref CM1068D-LJ-BK) is is one of only 1920 distributed worldwide. It is in a 50mm (including the lugs) x 38.6mm x 17.8mm polished SS tonneau shaped case with display back secured by four fine screws, water resistant to 50 meters. It has a domed sapphire crystal and signed screw down crown. The black dial has baton markers and quickset day and date at three. This watch is on a signed brown crocodile strap with tang type buckle, with only minor stretching of one hole as evidence that it has ever been worn. This watch is in near mint condition, without a significant scratch or other mark that I can detect. The cal ETA Valjoux cal 7750 25 jewel automatic movement is accurate to one second per day, and the chronograph functions precisely.
