Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital Watch
"The Amortiser" sounds like a banking industry themed super villain. But here it is a cool piece of functionality that you won't find on other watches in this price range. New from Ball watches is the Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital watch, a mouthful of a name, but suitable for a chunky timepiece with this much functionality.

The English brothers (that’s right, Bart and Tim Grönefeld aren’t the only fraternity in the watch industry) have unveiled three new models ahead of Baselworld 2016, including their latest chronometer, the Bremont ALT1-C/PB. We went hands-on with the watch this week. 1 OF 7 Part dress watch, part timekeeping instrument, it strikes an interesting balance between the brawn of the original ALT1-C chronograph, and the elegance of the ALT1-C Rose Gold Classic Chronograph. It is to dress watches what the Range Rover is to SUVs – a large piece of kit with a very powerful engine, all packed under a rather luxurious hood.
