A modern classic with advanced brightness, the Roadmaster Marine GMT now features a longer micro gas tube on the GMT hand and a newly-added tube on the seconds hand. Completely self-powered, the revolutionary tubes are integrated into the meteorite dial at each hour marker and on each hand, delivering clear time reading in an instant. In combination with the ceramic bezel’s Super-LumiNova coating, three time zones can be easily read in total darkness.
The Roadmaster Marine GMT is the first BALL model to feature a dial made from Gibeon meteorite, perhaps the most famous in the world. Highly aesthetic and unique, Gibeon meteorite is believed to have come from a large asteroid after its explosion – transforming on its journey through space, arriving at Earth around 600 million years ago. Its intricate crystalline patterns, known as Widmanstätten patterns, were naturally formed over millions of years as the iron and nickel alloys within the meteorite slowly cooled, and could not be replicated on Earth. Our designers have carefully crafted the dial appearance to showcase these unique patterns while also ensuring utmost legibility.
On long journeys across foreign lands and untamed waters, easily track time with our specially-made GMT movement module. Simply use the patented quick-set buttons to adjust the GMT hand instead of turning the main crown. The button at 8 o’clock moves the GMT hand backward, while the 10 o’clock button moves it forward. When travel, the GMT hand reveals local time in conjunction with the markings on the edge of the dial, whereas the main hour hand shows the home time. In conjunction with the bi-directional bezel, the quick-set GMT hand displays the time in a third geographic zone of your choosing. The entire movement has received COSC certification for extreme precision.
