The Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon AeroGMT II DG2018C-SC-BE is a Swiss-made automatic GMT watch designed for precision, durability, and professional-grade performance. It features a 42mm stainless steel case with a thickness of approximately 13.85mm, giving it a solid yet balanced wrist presence suitable for daily wear and travel use. At its core is the Ball RR1201-C automatic movement, a COSC-certified chronometer operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of about 42 hours, ensuring reliable timekeeping and accuracy.
This model is equipped with a GMT complication that allows tracking of multiple time zones simultaneously, making it particularly useful for frequent travellers. The blue dial is paired with Ball’s signature micro gas tube illumination technology applied to the hands, indices, and bezel, providing constant legibility in complete darkness without needing external light exposure. It also includes a bidirectional rotating bezel with a 24-hour scale, a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal for scratch resistance and clarity, and a date display positioned at 3 o’clock for added practicality.
Engineered for resilience, the DG2018C-SC-BE offers water resistance up to 100 meters (10 ATM), anti-magnetic protection up to 4,800 A/m, and shock resistance up to 7,500 Gs, making it suitable for harsh environments and active use. The watch is typically fitted with a stainless steel bracelet featuring a secure folding clasp and extension system, along with Ball’s patented crown protection system to enhance durability and safeguard the movement. Combining rugged construction with aviation-inspired design cues and high-visibility technology, this model reflects Ball Watch Company’s focus on precision instruments built for demanding conditions.
