Crafted as a tribute to courage, selflessness, and sacrifice, the Ball Engineer Master II Doolittle Raiders (40mm) NM3000C-S1-BK is much more than just a timekeeping instrument; it is a profound connection to history. Limited to just 999 pieces, this remarkable timepiece commemorates the 80th anniversary of the legendary Doolittle Raiders’ mission, a pivotal moment in World War II when eighty brave pilots risked everything in the name of freedom. Each watch in this limited series embodies the heroic spirit captured in Jimmy Doolittle’s stirring words: “Nothing is as strong as the heart of a volunteer.”
A harmonious blend of enduring military design and cutting-edge innovation, this watch was conceived with aviators in mind. At its core lies the revolutionary H₃ micro gas tube technology, a hallmark of Ball’s precision engineering. Unlike luminous paints, these micro gas tubes require no external power source and provide consistent, vibrant illumination for up to 25 years. The result is unprecedented visibility, even in the darkest environments. The watch’s wide tubes glow in a brilliant green, with orange accents at the 12 o’clock position and a distinctive yellow shimmer on the hands, ensuring effortless time reading no matter the conditions.
Beyond its luminescent brilliance, the Engineer Master II Doolittle Raiders showcases a timelessly rugged aesthetic that reflects its military heritage. Its 40mm case offers an optimal balance of durability and wearability, making it the perfect companion for any adventure. Whether you are an avid collector, a history enthusiast, or someone who appreciates the seamless fusion of design and innovation, this timepiece is a statement of resilience and legacy. Owning this watch is not merely an appreciation of fine craftsmanship but a salute to the bravery and indomitable spirit of those who came before us.
