Engineer Hydrocarbon Airborne, a precision mechanical timepiece that lets you swing freely on the golf course

 Grandly announced the revolutionary patent registration of ‘SpringLOCK®’, a spring shock protection system specially designed for springs in the movement
Taking pride in its American heritage, Ball Watch is proud to introduce the new Engineer Hydrocarbon Airborne-its unique design allows the watch to withstand the harsh environments that American paratroopers need to face. The most common cause of inaccurate movement of a watch is displacement and deformation of the hairspring after the shock.

 The U.S. Airborne Troops are the most experienced and frequently deployed units in the U.S. National Armed Forces. The U.S. Airborne Paratroopers need to perform their missions in the harshest environments behind the enemy, and therefore require the most shock-resistant performance and the most reliable equipment support. Airborne paratroopers often parachute and experience different severe environments, which means that they are often hit in different directions. In view of this, Engineer Hydrocarbon Airborne is equipped with BALL WATCH’s latest patented ‘Spring Lock® System’ shockproof system (SpringLOCK® System), which is a movement specially developed by BALL WATCH to ensure accurate movement.

 The hairspring in the movement is surrounded by a ‘protective cover’, which can absorb the energy generated when the watch is subjected to external impacts; the impact of these external impacts is enough to make the average movement time of ordinary mechanical movements as fast as about 60 seconds per day. The ‘hairspring lock’ anti-vibration system can effectively reduce the running time error by as much as 66%, thereby ensuring that the movement of the mechanical movement is accurate. The wearer can now participate in sports such as golf, without worry, because the watch can still tell the time accurately even in the face of external impact.

 The hairspring in the movement is surrounded by a ‘protective cover’, which can absorb the energy generated when the watch is subjected to an external impact, and can participate in various sports such as golf balls without any worry, because even when facing the external impact force, The watch still tells the time accurately.
