The BALL Engineer Hydrocarbon Trieste Chronograph is an appropriate tribute to the world's deepest diving submersible. An exceptional timepiece in a limited edition of 1,000 pieces, the Trieste Chronograph sets a new standard in the most rugged BALL collection. In conjunction with US Navy engineers, the designers and crew of the Bathyscaph Trieste explored the bottom of the Marianas Trench. At nearly 36,000 feet below the sea, the extreme depths of the Marianas Trench dwarf even Mount Everest, which is just over 29,000 feet. Retired a mere 3 years after the record-breaking dive to the deepest point on Earth, the Trieste remains the only manned vehicle to ever reach the bottom of the Earth.
