• 31 tubes • 42mm • Height 13.25mm • Polished and brushed SS • Ceramic unidirectional bezel • ETA 2892 movement • Water resistant to 333 meters • Shock resistant and to Magnetic fields to 4,800 A/m As final tribute, the case back features an engraved representation of Jim Whittaker, the first American to summit Mount Everest. This model has as well inherited the number "XV", from the first name the Great Trigonometric Survey of British India gave to Everest in 1856, then known as Peak XV. Ball’s Engineer Hydrocarbon Ceramic XV timepiece was presented in 2011. It is designed to function in very harsh conditions. The timepiece is equipped with Swiss-made ETA 2892 automatic movement that is certified by Contrôle Officiel Suisse de Chronométres (COSC) – the Swiss institute that tests chr... onometers. Hands, numerals and indices are illuminated through the use of 31 self-powered micro gas tubes that glow 100 times brighter than luminous paint. The watch is protected from shock, magnetic influences and water penetration. The ceramic bezel is virtually scratch-proof. It rotates to mark elapsed time and is readable at night time because of the luminous markers painted on the surface. Additional useful functionalities include a date display located between 4 and 5 o’clock, sweep seconds, patented crown protection system and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating.

With its impressive water resistance rating of whole three thousand meters, which makes it a true old-school professional diving instrument.
To achieve such an ambitious goal, the team of American and Swiss engineers not only strengthened the crown seal (the usual Achilles heel of most divers,) but also practically reinvented the body of the watch itself.
Like a body of the aluminum Apple Macbook Pro, the case of the new diver is machined from a single block of titanium. This not only made the housing structurally stronger, but also removed a number of tight spots where the salty oceanic water could potentially find its way to a fragile piece of high precision machinery that animates the new Hydrocarbon DeepQuest.
