A vintage 1970's Ball Trainmaster men's watch, featuring a Swiss-made 17 jewel ETA 2821 self-winding movement that has been inspected and timegrapher regulated to ensure accuracy.
This modern Swiss-made incarnation of the American railroad standard is in exceptional condition. The stainless steel case (35mm excluding the crown) is in very good condition, with light to average age wear. The mint condition dial is perfectly preserved beneath the scratch-free crystal. The elongated black enameled hands match the bold Arabic numerals, making it easy to read the time in nearly any conditions. As this watch has a hacking movement, the red sweep second hand stops when you pull the crown, making synchronization a cinch!
Inside, the ETA 2821 movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, allowing for incredible accuracy. The watch has been regulated to within +/-10 seconds per day. The automatic assembly silently winds the watch while you wear it, though manual winding of the crown is both safe and encouraged. The gasket is fitted into the screwdown caseback and the original dust cap is present also. The watch comes with a perfectly selected steel bracelet with a locking clamp that can be adjusted to fit any wrist. It's clean, polished, and very eye-catching!
Overall, this Ball Trainmaster has clearly been looked after over the decades. With its 28,800 v/h automatic hacking movement and its minty white dial, this Ball is as accurate is it is stylish. It will quickly find a place in your daily rotation!
Please note that all mechanical watches, including automatics, require occasional winding in order to function properly.
