Ball Watch Company, the American born Swiss watchmaker, created a special Caring Edition of the Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer to support frontline workers putting their lives on the line to help other during the COVID-19 outbreak. Limited to 1000 pieces, the 40mm steel case holds a black dial with 27 rainbow colored micro gas tubes circling the watch face and illuminating the hour, minute and second hands. Stellar luminosity is matched by superior anti-magnetic protection. Ball’s patented Amortiser® anti-shock system protects the automatic caliber BALL RR1103-C movement against damage caused by external shocks.
The Ball Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer Caring Edition is available now for pre-order (UD$1.899.00) at a 16% discount. Any Caring Edition watch ordered before 31 July 2020 is eligible for complimentary engraving. The good news is CHF 300 (US$317) from each watch sold during the pre-sale period will be donated to help frontline workers. The not-so-great-news is that the money will go through the Salvation Army.** So, caveat emptor.

**The Salvation Army has a history of bigoted and discriminatory policies. Recently, the Church has made efforts to address discrimination and expand its policies to be more inclusive. These efforts include issuing an explicit nondiscrimination policy and offering benefits to the spouses of employees in same-sex marriages.
