It features a 40mm case crafted from corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel with a thickness of approximately 13mm, giving it a solid wrist presence while remaining comfortable for daily use. The watch 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 blue dial of the NM9036C-S1C-BE is designed for clarity and legibility, featuring a day-date display with a day aperture typically positioned at 9 o’clock and a magnified date window at 3 o’clock. Ball’s signature micro gas tube technology is integrated across the hands and indices—around 27 tritium tubes—providing continuous illumination in low-light conditions without requiring external light charging, which is especially practical in the UK’s darker winter months. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, while a screw-down crown enhances sealing and helps maintain water resistance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFrom a durability perspective, the NM9036C-S1C-BE is engineered for resilience in everyday environments.
