Ball Fireman Racer Watch

Oddly enough I don't think of racing when I think of firemen. Then again, if a fireman is on his way to a fire emergency I assume he/she will be racing there. Never thought about it like that. Perhaps I am thinking about it too much. Ball watches has released this new 40mm wide steel timepiece with a lot of influence from Jaeger-LeCoultre. Tritium gas tubes make the dials bright at night while the style is very boy-racer. I can see these timepieces being a good compliment to a souped up Japanese sports car. Especially the models on the perforated rubber strap with stitching.

Inside the watches is a Swiss ETA automatic movement - likely a 2824. The watch utilizes a (now rare aside from Rolex) "cyclops" magnifier crystal over the date window. In addition to the rubber strap, the watch also has a steel bracelet option. I am usually a big fan of ball watch bracelets, but I am not sure I like this one. Price for this Ball Fireman Racer watch should be pretty reasonable at about $2,000 if I can guess properly. They are available now.
