amortiser shock-absorbing system
®
The Amortiser shock-absorbing system reduces the risk of damage
®
during high-impact activities.
The Amortiser device, patented and exclusive to BALL Watch,
®
secures the movement against extreme shocks. This feat of
micromechanics is characterized by a ring of protection, protecting
magnetically and enveloping the movement to absorb shocks. This
ingenious system protects the mechanism against lateral impact.
