New Ball Watches
Has anyone else been looking into Ball's new watches? They have several new models. Marvelights with Day complications (which looks off too me), some new divers, and what's imaged here. They are comming out with Engineer III's in 36mm which I'm really interested in. I have a 6.5ish inch wrist and don't really like the look of a bezeless watch greater that 38mm. This watch is in pre-order now with just these renders. I like the idea of the enamel blue dial, and 20mm lug width should keep it from looking too small. They are clearly taking inspiration from the Explorer but with Tritium which I like. Any thoughts?
Here are the new models:

Roadmaster Marine GMT meteorite looks good. If they removed the chunky numerals, it would be even better.

I do like the day complication on a GMT, plus the pushers. Very cool, but the styling is a little off for me.
I was wondering if you were going to comment on my post, I saw yours on the red Marvelight.
I love mine. I think the extra text is kinda unnecessary and prefer the previous model of the engineer pinoneer
Blue dial is 👌🏻
BIG fan of Ball. Have owned/sold several. This one is a keeper. Also eyeing the newish Engineer Outlier

Hmm. Maybe I’ll save some money and get this instead of a Datejust. That’s really nice, plus to lume is probably very cool.
What type of tritium do they use? T25 or something else?

T25
I just don't get why they use straight glass tubes for tritium numerals... Glass can be bent in all ways to make single tube numerals.
Recently also stumbled over these and I am really curious for reviews. Looking for 36mm watches and really like the look of the engineer iii with the square 6 9 12 numerals. Even though I don't care for the tritium lume.
I love my 36mm engineer III
I'm very glad to see ball putting out more stuff in sizes less than 40mm
