BALL

The Engineer Hydrocarbon AeroGMT II Meteorite is a fitting tribute to Major Brian Shul (1948-2023), a legendary pilot who overcame life-threatening injuries to fly the SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest aircraft in the world. This robust, highly visible, and functional tool watch features a meteorite dial, making each piece unique. It has a three-time-zone display, making it ideal for world travel. The dial, made from the Gibeon meteorite, features natural crystalline patterns, and the watch is a certified chronometer with exceptional precision and durability.

Limited to 1,000 pieces, it is available in 40mm and 42mm sizes. The micro gas tube luminosity allows the time to be read even in complete darkness. The 24-hour rotating bezel, integrated with gas tubes, adds visibility, especially for tracking a destination city. BALL’s special crown protection and patented buckle system ensure durability and comfort, inspired by Shul’s perseverance and precision in flying the SR-71 Blackbird.

Brian Shul’s incredible survival story, from being shot down during the Vietnam War to recovering from severe burns and piloting the SR-71, exemplifies his resilience. His journey mirrors the watch’s theme of overcoming extreme challenges, making the AeroGMT II Meteorite both a tribute to his legacy and a high-performance tool for today’s adventurers.
