Ball Engineer III Maverick GMT DG3028C-S1CJ-BK

Ball owes its existence to a train wreck. After the 1891 Kipton collision in Ohio, jeweler Webb C. Ball was hired to standardize railroad timekeeping, and the brand still trades on that record of accuracy under hard use. This Ball Engineer III Maverick GMT, reference DG3028C-S1CJ-BK, carries that lineage into a travel watch with a second time zone on a 24-hour scale. The seller has not stated a production year.

The case is 41mm stainless steel, a size Ball chose for the Maverick series to keep the Engineer III wearable on smaller wrists than the brand's larger Hydrocarbon models. The dial is black, which gives the brand's self-powered micro gas tubes on the hands and markers their highest contrast after dark, a feature Ball has used across the Engineer line for decades. The movement is automatic

According to the seller, the watch is pre-owned and no specific flaws are disclosed, so the reader should rely on the images and the staff review rather than on any claim of condition here. Service history was not provided, and the seller reports no recent service. Engineer III models are typically rated to 100 meters of water resistance when new, though that rating is not confirmed for this example.

This example is offered with its original Ball box and papers. The seller states that all items included with the watch accompany it. It is located in Summit, New Jersey.
