Ball Engineer II Magneto S Watch With Iris Anti-Magnetic Caseback
Perhaps the most exciting new Ball watch from Baselworld 2014 was not yet complete, but we did get to play with a prototype. It is the Engineer II Magneto S watch, and it offers a distinct approach to offering a modern anti-magnetic timepiece. In a nutshell, here is how it works. The bezel of the watch actually operates an iris-style shield that opens and closes over the movement. Ball calls this new system "A-PROOF" and it is being debuted here in the Engineer II Magneto watch.Of course, A-PROOF comes at a time when anti-magnetic is "hot" thanks to Omega's >15,000 Gauss watch and new Master Co-Axial movements. Omega's approach is more passive and automatic in the sense that their movements aren't really magnetic at all, so therefore they simply don't react to most magnetic fields. Ball takes a more interactive approach that, while perhaps a bit less practical, makes for a good tool tech toy. Ball claims that most of their anti-magnetic watches are resistant to about 12,000 A/m, whi

Omega Memomatic Alarm Watch Pickup Today...
Here is a reasonably nice and all original example of a 1970's (actually 1969 I think) Omega Memomatic Alarm Watch. I had not heard of this reference previous to finding this one today...very cool history for sure.This watch has a Lemania cal. 2980 derivative movement that is an Omega cal. 980 with a very unique auto winding movement AND alarm and a 48 hour power reserve. This example is case reference 166-072 and comes with the original Omega stainless steel 1170 / 618 bracelet and end pieces. Super cool piece from the very early Seventies!

its a either you like it or not piece....i think its pretty cool....wondered what my trf colleagues thought....appreciate it...thanks

Name of shock protection?
Howdy. I was looking at pictures of the omega calibre 8500 and noticed a form of shock protection over the balance jewels that I have not seen before. Can anyone tell me more about? Is it an Omega invention and what is it called?Thanks!
