This crown protection system also protects the crown and winding stem from damage due to shock. By industry standards, the crown is not considered part of shock testing. However, here at BALL we take that extra step to certify that the most sensitive part of the watch is also just as durable as the rest of the watch. BALL includes a third test for shock resistance that includes a 7,500 G strike directly to the crown in the locked position to ensure its durability. |
