all Watch Company unveils the latest chapter in its celebrated collaboration with Charles M. Schulz’s beloved Peanuts characters: the Engineer III Snoopy Flying Ace series. Back by popular demand, this new lineup of aviation‑inspired timepieces pays tribute to imagination, optimism, and the enduring spirit of adventure. The series is limited to just 250 pieces per execution – a rare collector’s edition that ties timeless storytelling to BALL’s tradition of precision watchmaking.
From sunrise to sunset, Snoopy’s legendary Flying Ace persona reminds us that big dreams can soar above any obstacle. The new series features 36mm, 40mm and 43mm 904L stainless steel cases, alongside a 43mm bronze edition that evolves uniquely with each wearer’s journey. Whether paired with a steel bracelet or leather strap, every model embodies Ball’s hallmark blend of durability, precision, and character. The transparent sapphire crystal caseback reveals the mechanical caliber while featuring a funny silkscreen-printed image of Snoopy in his Flying Ace attire.
At the heart of each watch beats the automatic Ball RR1105 caliber, delivering a 42‑hour power reserve and highly accurate timekeeping. The sub‑dial at 6 o’clock showcases Snoopy in full aviator gear, guiding his Sopwith Camel doghouse‑plane, while his loyal wingman Woodstock rides along at the tip of the sec-onds hand.
At each hour marker, baton-shaped tubes slightly extend above the dial for a strong glow and layered style. Together with the thinner tubes on the hour and minutes hands, the time is visible all through the night. And on the sub-dial, our hero shines bright in white thanks to Super-LumiNova.
With its striking three‑dimensional sub‑dial and bold aviation storytelling, the Engineer III Snoopy Flying Ace is more than a watch – it is a trusted co‑pilot for every journey, real or imagined.
This collaboration is more than design – it is a meeting of philosophies. Snoopy’s doghouse becomes a fighter plane, proving that imagination can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Ball Watch Com-pany, born from the challenges of America’s expanding railroads, shares this same underdog spirit, daring to innovate and redefine precision timekeeping against all odds.
Like Snoopy’s fearless flights, Ball Watch Company embraces adventure by crafting professional tool watches that empower world‑class explorers. Engineered for reliability in the harshest conditions, Ball time-pieces ensure that discovery is always possible.
Rooted in strong American heritage, Peanuts, created in 1950, is a cultural icon, while Ball Watch Company, founded in Cleveland in 1891, stands as a symbol of American ingenuity. Together, they celebrate resil-ience, optimism, and craftsmanship that continue to inspire across generations.
Today, more than ever, Ball is continuing its journey and asserting its role as a key protagonist in the explo-ration of modern time and the evolution of watchmaking history.
