Full details and images of the Ball Watch Engineer Master II Union Pacific Big Boy (NM1080C-L2-BK)
Ball's Union Pacific Big Boy is a solidly built watch with that industrial charm you either love or don't, and the movement is bulletproof, but honestly it feels a bit niche for the price-you're really paying for the railroad heritage story more than the specs. It wears well and keeps great time, but if you're looking for pure bang-for-buck in that price range, there are other divers and tool watches that'll give you more versatility. Cool piece if the UP aesthetic speaks to you, but it's definitely a "know what you're getting" purchase.
