Press Release

Trainmaster Five Time Zone

The Trainmaster Five Time Zone puts four of the world's global cities at the wearer's grasp: London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York are just a glance away. With an ingenious recessed button system to correct for Daylight Savings Time, the Trainmaster 5 Time Zone makes global business and travel brilliantly simple.

The BALL Trainmaster Five Time Zone represents a leap forward in our longstanding mission to create timepieces for travellers. Webb C. Ball, founder of Ball Watch Company, earned international acclaim in setting the criteria of the Official Railroad Standard watch and his system was so successful that to Railroad Brotherhoods and the general public, the 'Railroad Standard' stood for the very best in quality. These watches served as dependable companions for the adventurous travelers who took to the rails.

The Cannonball crown, a well-proportioned retro-style crown reintroduced in 2007, ensures that setting the watch will be easy while providing a classic touch. The superb accuracy of the watch echoes the pursuit of precision that lies at the core of our brand spirit. The hour markers are BALL's renowned self-powered micro gas tubes that enable unparalleled night reading capability.
