Bertucci® Performance Field Watches™ introduces Ballista™, a new series of tactical watches built for those who demand the very best in performance, durability and comfort. The Ballista line includes three striking, stealth designs that are guaranteed to make a bold statement in the field or a night on the town.
“The Ballistas are professional, tactical watches that are extremely durable and are designed for the rigors of the field, as well everyday wear,” said Tammy McGuire, Bertucci Performance Field Watches. “Unlike other tactical watches, the Ballistas can be dressed up or down and are perfect for virtually any setting.”
The new Ballista line includes three series ranging in price from $195 to $395 MSRP. Common features shared across all three watches include:
- Rugged, stainless-steel case, crown, case back and band hardware with a black ION finish
- Quartz movement for reliable, accurate time keeping
- Hardened sapphire crystal for maximum scratch resistance
- Active Comfort™, ergonomic crown set at the 4 o’clock position to not impinge wrist movement
- S. Patented, B-Type, heavy-duty webbing band available in multiple colors
- Equipped with removable, threaded 2mm hex head lug bars
- Three to 10-year battery life depending on model
- 200m water resistance rating
- Date feature
- 12 and 24 hour time dial markings
- Three-year warranty
E-1S Ballista (44mm x 55mm) – $295 MSRP
The signature feature of the E-1S Ballista is its 44mm x 55mm tonneau-shaped, stainless-steel case. The unique looking case design is large on the wrist for those seeking a bold look. The case, crown, case back and band hardware are all made from stainless steel with an ION black finish.
The watch incorporates a dome-shaped, hardened sapphire crystal and is powered by a Swiss-made, all-metal, gold-plated quartz movement with 10-year battery life. The hands and markers are treated with a high performance Swiss Super Luminous material that will glow for hours based on exposure to sunlight or indoor lighting. The watch face incorporates a 1940s font style which gives it a distinct look and enhanced readability. Finally, the E-1S Ballista includes a date dial and low battery indicator.
A-5S Ballista Illuminated (45mm) – $395 MSRP
The A-5S Ballista Illuminated uses tritium gas-filled microtubes to deliver continuous illumination to the hands and markers for up to 25 years. The watch features a large, 45mm stainless steel case. The case, crown, case back and band hardware are all made from stainless steel with an ION black finish.
The watch incorporates a hardened sapphire crystal for scratch resistance, an offset crown at the 4 o’clock position for comfort, a date dial and low battery indicator. The watch comes with a 10-year lithium battery and three-year warranty.
A-2S Ballista (40mm) – $195 MSRP
The A-2S Ballista features a 40mm black, stainless-steel case, crown, case back and band hardware. It incorporates Swiss Super Luminous hands, markers, numbers and a sub-date dial that glow for hours – no need for a button or battery to illuminate. The A-2S Ballista also features a hardened sapphire crystal, Japanese quartz movement and three-year battery life with water resistance up to 200m.
“A lot of tactical watches are overdesigned and feature bells and whistles that no one uses and can easily fail in the field,” McGuire stated. “Our Ballistas are sensible by design and only deliver the essentials required of a professional tactical watch. These watches will truly stand the test of time – no matter what gets thrown at them.”
