5.5 Amortiser
anti-shock system
®
The Amortiser
anti-shock system protects the mechanical movement against
®
external shocks. This patented innovation consists of a protective and anti-
magnetic ring enveloping the mechanical movement to absorb the energy
created by side shocks.
5.6 Rotor-Locking System
On some models, the Amortiser
system is combined with a rotor-locking
®
system. A switch on the case back enables the rotor to be locked and
unlocked as desired. This prevents the impact energy from being transmitted
to the movement, while the watch continues to run by drawing on its power
reserve. When the rotor-locking system is engaged on the "ON" position,
the rotor cannot spin, which protects the movement in case of shock. In this
setting, the watch operates like a manually-wound watch.

When the rotor-locking system is disengaged on the "OFF" position, the
rotor spins freely and can wind the automatic movement.
5.7 SpringLOCK
Hairspring anti-shock system
®
All calibers that mention "-SL", e.g. RR1101-SL
In case of shocks, the patented SpringLOCK
mechanical caliber remains accurate by protecting the balance-spring with a
"cage" designed to absorb the energy created when the watch is subjected to
external impacts. Such impacts can cause standard mechanical movements
to vary by up to approximately 60 seconds a day. The SpringLOCK
reduces their effect by up to 66%, thus ensuring that the caliber remains
accurate.
5.8 SpringSEAL
Regulator anti-shock system
®
The SpringSEAL
anti-shock system protects the regulator by maintaining it
®
in its original position in case of impact and thus helps maintain the accuracy of
the movement. After initial adjustment of the caliber by BALL watchmakers,
SpringSEAL
locks and protects the regulator's settings in case of shock
®
impact. It means the timepiece will not require additional adjustment after
harsh impact. SpringSEAL
acts as a quality seal of accuracy and protection.
