The Ball Roadmaster Marine GMT DG3000A-S1CJ-BE is a Swiss automatic timepiece built for serious travel functionality, combining robust materials with practical GMT capability. It features a 40mm titanium case with a thickness of approximately 14mm, offering a lightweight yet durable presence on the wrist—well suited for daily wear in the UK. Inside, it is powered by the Ball RR1203-C automatic chronometer movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of around 38 hours, delivering COSC-certified accuracy for dependable timekeeping across multiple time zones.
Functionality is a key strength of the DG3000A-S1CJ-BE, with a GMT complication capable of tracking up to three time zones via a central GMT hand and a bi-directional rotating bezel with a 24-hour scale. The blue dial is designed for maximum legibility and features Ball’s signature micro gas tube illumination—around 28 tritium tubes on the hands, indices, and dial—ensuring constant visibility without external light charging, which is particularly useful in low-light UK environments. Additional practical elements include day and date displays at 3 o’clock, a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and a screw-down crown for enhanced water resistance.
Built for demanding conditions, the DG3000A-S1CJ-BE offers water resistance up to 300 metres (30 ATM), along with anti-magnetic protection rated to 4,800 A/m and shock resistance up to approximately 5,000 Gs. The watch is typically fitted with a titanium and stainless steel bracelet secured by a folding deployment clasp, and it includes a sapphire exhibition case back to view the movement. Limited to around 1,000 pieces worldwide, this reference blends professional-grade durability with advanced GMT functionality and Ball’s hallmark illumination technology, making it a compelling choice for UK collectors who value both practicality and exclusivity.
