Appreciate this slightly new edition of Ball Watch’s Storm Chaser. My initial post about this watch features a slightly different version of this killer timepiece. This is actually Ball’s Storm Chaser DLC Glow which is a continued tribute to those who brave the most extreme conditions in the name of science….aka “storm chasers”.
Excellent legibility is provided on this all-black chrono by way of 66 luminescent gas micro-tubes doubling as hourmarkers. As well as the basic functions, this watch features a tachymeter and a rangefinder, both of which can rapidly become life-saving functions when it is a matter of evaluating the distance and speed of a discharge sometimes exceeding 100 million volts.
The final tribute to this most unusual of professions is the engraving on the back of Josh Wurman’s Doppler on Wheels. Josh Wurman was the first man to mount a weather radar on his truck to analyze and understand the structure of these phenomena.
