While his watch was destroyed, his purpose was stronger than ever. In August 2023, Police Officer [name redacted] was involved in a critical incident where his Engineer Master II Diver was struck by a 9mm bullet.
In his words: “Around a month following the incident, I discovered the damage to my watch was the result of a bullet striking the watch face. I am truly blessed and thankful for the quality and construction of your watches. The spectacular build quality of my watch undoubtedly saved my wrist, hand and lower forearm from life-changing injury and quite possibly ending my career as a police officer. I originally purchased it as a one-year anniversary gift to myself for becoming a police officer and planned on passing it on to one of my children. You have earned a customer for life… there will be no second thoughts.”
As it turns out, we don’t just create timekeepers. We build life-changers. It’s not what we set out to do, but it’s confirmation of our enduring mission: construct the toughest watches out there. Watches built like tanks, with equal parts strength and comfort. Watches that act as shields against everything the day throws at it, including the 9mm bullet that struck the Engineer Master II Diver worn by Police Officer [name redacted] during a critical incident. Today, as he continues to serve his community, we are proud to introduce the next generation of toughness. Infused with our renowned Amortiser® anti-shock system, advanced protective technology and patented inner bezel operable under water, this is the Engineer Master II Ballistic Diver.
From its craftsmanship to its performance, the Ballistic Diver is on another level. Its engineering allows you to operate the internal diving bezel while completely submerged under water to time the safety stop. The crown at 2 o’clock features an ingenious “push-and-turn” mechanism to set the bezel at any time in both directions. Its 42mm case diameter measures only 13.5mm thick and pairs with the 2.6mm sapphire crystal, offering stunning diving capabilities and everyday wearability. The craftsmanship of the case back, the fully screwed-in crown and the gaskets ensure water resistance to 300 meters. It’s ready to withstand the harshest elements of any nautical environment.
