Ball Engineer III Outlier Watch Review
Ball Engineer III Outlier
One thing you should not say about the Ball Engineer III Outlier is that it is an homage, especially to the Rolex Explorer II. I took some flak on the video above, where I referenced this. Now, in terms of actual design, this newer piece from Ball is not the same. The case design is different, as is the dial because Ball uses tritium tubes. I took the word homage in the truest definition, something that is inspired by and has similar characteristics. Paying homage to. But in the watch world, homage tends to mean copy, a replica with a different name.
The Ball Outlier is a 904L stainless case and bracelet, this particular version has a black dial, an orange GMT hand, and a date magnifier, and this is a true or travelers GMT as well. So, in that sense, and if you laid it out on paper, you would say they are similar. Again, the design is different, but I meant no disrespect to Ball, nor did I want to offend anyone. I do bet had I not mentioned it in the video, the reverse would have happened, with people saying it was an Explorer homage. Back to the Outlier, this piece has a custom GMT movement, is limited to 1000 pieces per color, and comes in either a black, blue, or white dial, with either a black ceramic or stainless steel bezel insert, and starts at $3,4000.Â
