Deep down, we all have perseverance. But it takes relentless belief in purpose to bring out that perseverance amid adversity. Which then brings out the best in all of us. The Roadmaster Perseverer is a performance- focused tool inspired by Henry Ford - BALL pocket watch owner, icon of industry and model of never giving up.

Never hide: micro gas tubes.
A touch of darkness should not slow anyone down. Instead, this should lead to persevere with a splash of brightness in the form of micro gas tube luminosity. Around the minimalistic dial, each hour baton is comprised of a miniature tube that shines automatically in all dark and low-light conditions. Unlike any other luminescent material used in watchmaking, the technology forges its own path and requires absolutely no form of charging. By simply stepping into the darkness, the watch glows and reminds everyone that everything is possible.
Uncluttered, minimalistic, clean design for beautiful toughness.
The Roadmaster Perseverer draws inspiration from 1970s watch design for a modernized retro-vintage look. Its angular-shaped case creates a stunning contrast with a brushed finish on the top and sides and a polished finish on the edges. The bracelet integrated into the case provides a balanced and harmonious combination to the timepiece while fitting the wrist perfectly. An iconic decoration in watchmaking, the horizontal lines tapestry pattern on the dial adds texture and character to the model while enhancing the dial’s color.
Tenacity of purpose: 904L stainless steel.
Synonymous with strength, simplicity and style, the term “daily beater” is often thrown around by watch enthusiasts. But what watches can truly be thrown around and still deliver uncompromising performance? Forged from 904L stainless steel, the 40mm case ensures extreme hardness and comfort that can be trusted in any situation. Its extra amounts of chromium, molybdenum, nickel and copper enable superior resistance to corrosion, rust and acids, while its beautiful polishing adds luxurious character. It’s a daily beater that earns the name like no other.
Accuracy under adverse conditions.
To protect the heart of the watch, the patented Amortiser® anti-shock system safeguards the mechanical movement against severe external impact. Featuring a protective anti-magnetic ring that runs around the movement, it absorbs the energy created by side shocks. Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, the automatic caliber BALL RR1103 movement attests a precision of high value and delivers hours, minutes and sweep seconds indication together with a magnified date at three o'clock.

B2141130, was fine-tuned to Webb C. Ball’s commercial standards of accuracy, criteria made for the common man with high levels of efficiency and reliability. BALL Watch Company is proud to have been a trusted timekeeper for Henry Ford and is committed to building reliable tool watches for all those who persevere on the road to greatness - no matter where it leads.
