It features a 40mm case crafted from corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel with a thickness of approximately 13mm, giving it a solid but balanced wrist presence. Inside, it is powered by the Ball RR1102-C automatic movement, a chronometer-certified calibre operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of around 38 hours, ensuring consistent and accurate performance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe black dial of the NM9036C-S1C-BKR is designed for clarity and functionality, incorporating a day-date display (day at 9 o’clock and date at 3 o’clock with magnification). Ball’s signature micro gas tube technology is applied across the hands and hour markers—typically 27 tritium tubes—providing continuous illumination in low-light conditions without the need for external charging, a practical advantage in the UK’s variable lighting environments. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, while a screw-down crown enhances sealing and overall durability.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEngineered for resilience, the NM9036C-S1C-BKR offers water resistance up to 100 metres (10 ATM), making it suitable for swimming and general water exposure, alongside anti-magnetic resistance up to 80,000 A\/m and shock resistance rated to approximately 5,000 Gs via Ball’s Amortiser system. The watch is typically paired with a stainless steel bracelet fitted with a folding clasp for secure wear. As a limited edition of around 1,000 pieces, this reference balances rugged Swiss tool-watch engineering with refined aesthetics, making it a compelling option for UK buyers who want a durable, chronometer-certified watch with strong everyday versatility.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BALL Watch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52591257026826,"sku":"NM9036C-S1C-BK","price":2350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/5276\/5450\/files\/ball-watch-engineer-iii-marvelight-chronometer-black-dial-40mm-watch-xxxx-1000-p54385-105979_zoom.jpg?v=1781640915","url":"https:\/\/www.francisandgaye.co.uk\/products\/ball-watch-engineer-iii-marvelight-chronometer-black-dial-40mm-watch-xxxx-1000-nm9036c-s1c-bk","provider":"Francis \u0026 Gaye","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
