Quick TakeThe Ball Watch Co Engineer Master II Waco Glider stands as a powerful homage to the unsung heroes of the past, offering a manual winding movement and exceptional luminosity set against a deep blue dial. Its robust anti-magnetic protection and thoughtful design details, like the subsidiary seconds and a hinged case back, make it a notable piece for collectors and history enthusiasts. The watch embodies the courage and determination of its namesake, the Waco military gliders, making it not just a timekeeper but a storyteller on the wrist.

DescriptionThe Engineer Master II Waco Glider is a salute to historical valor, encapsulated in a timepiece that speaks volumes with its bold blue dial and 26 micro gas tubes. These tubes ensure optimal legibility when the lights go out, mirroring the stealth capabilities of the Waco gliders it commemorates. The watch is powered by the manual caliber BALL RR2102, a nod to the hands-on approach of the era it celebrates. Encased in a sturdy 46mm stainless steel body with a height of 12.7mm, the Waco Glider balances heft and wearability. It is water-resistant up to 50 meters and boasts anti-magnetic protection of 1,000 Gauss, ready for modern-day adventures while honoring its historical roots.

The Waco Glider's design is a masterful blend of retro and modern elements. Its calf leather strap with pin buckle adds a classic touch, while the sapphire crystal transparent window and hinged case back offer a glimpse into the watch's intricate workings. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures that nothing stands between the wearer and the time. Limited to 1,943 pieces to mark the year the Waco CG-4A gliders entered service, this watch is as much a collector's item as it is a functional accessory. The additional green NATO strap provided with the purchase allows for versatile styling, paying homage to the soldiers' spirit who fought for freedom.
