Ball has launched a new pre-order campaign that will be available online until May 28th. The Watches By Ball Watch Company Roadmaster GMT is a nod to Ball explorer Danny Thompson. Danny devoted his life to motorsports-racing first within the motocross category and then switching to cars. It’s a career path that followed his dad, Mickey Thompson, also known as the “Speed King.”
In 1960, racing legend Mickey Thompson hit 406.6mph within the Challenger 1 at the Bonneville Salt Flats. His record wasn't formalized and the Speed King continued to operate on making his dream become a reality. After building a second vehicle, Mickey Thompson was murdered before making it to the Salt Flats and also the Challenger 2 was put in storage for almost 2 decades.
Not prepared to resign, Mickey's son, Danny, decided to complete his family's legacy by bringing the Challenger 2 back to life. In 2021, back on the famed flats, Danny joined the 400 club driving of the Challenger 2 with an official time of 406.7mph-a new national record for a piston-powered vehicle. For Danny, the feat was more than 50 years in the making, driven through the passion to fulfill his dream. This August, Danny will unveil the Challenger 2 once again, as he chases more records with what could be the fastest encore of all time. Inspired by Danny Thompson's determination and passion, Ball Watches On Amazon developed the limited edition Roadmaster GMT. While creating the case, Ball's designers sought to include the aerodynamic elements of the rocket-shaped streamliner. The end result? A sleek 42mm case with sharp curves that truly stands out and still allows for an appropriate fit. A blue ring representing the colour of the Challenger 2 continues to be precisely placed on the crown as the design of the transparent case back resembles its exhaust.
Featuring colorful micro gas lights for extreme readability and aerodynamic curves, it's the only watch to boast a GMT inner bezel illuminated by self-powered micro gas tubes. The H3 micro gas tubes give the timepiece incredible readability in the dark and don't require any external power source. These micro gas tubes are also featured on the rest of the dial and the hour, minute, and GMT hands. The contrast between the thin numbers on the 24-hour GMT bezel and the extremely wide tubes employed for the indexes, as well as all of the different colors, add balance to the timepiece in the dark and create an amazing visual impact.
Every Ball Watches Retailers Roadmaster GMT comes with a chronometer-certified movement, allowing for a much better accuracy. To secure this accuracy, Ball added its patented Amortiser(R) system towards the timepiece's movement. This system consists of a ring all around the movement that absorbs external shocks. The Ball Roadmaster GMT is offered with a black or grey dial with a 42mm stainless steel or DLC (Diamond-Like-Coating) case.
