5.9 Shock absorption elastomer ring

The shock absorption ring consists of an elastomer ring to safeguard the
movement. It encircles the entire movement and dial, allowing the caliber
crown stem, spring and dial to slightly move while absorbing the impacts.
External forces have significantly less chance to hinder the movement. For
added protection, the ring extends outward and above the dial to protect the
sapphire crystal. This ring is made of elastomer, a rubber material which is
both flexible and resistant, offering extended lifetime and resistance to UV
and sunlight. The unique structure of the system – inspired by architecture,
industry and sport equipment – absorbs and releases impacts' energy.

5.10 Patented crown protection system

A special crown protection system was designed and patented for the
Engineer Hydrocarbon series to guarantee its exceptional water resistance.
A protective plate is placed around the crown, which ensures the crown is
screwed back to its original secured position after time adjustment.
To unlock the crown protector, depress the button and rotate the bar counter-
clockwise. The crown can then be unscrewed for adjustment or winding.
After fully screwing down the crown, move the crown protector into place
by pushing down firmly until it locks.

5.11 DuraLOCK Patented screwed-in crown
®
The patented winding crown DuraLOCK
shock resistance, even at the most vulnerable area of the case, the crown,
which is among the most at risk parts of a watch. When using the crown to
set the watch, the case is exposed to dust, water and other elements that can
cause permanent damage. The DuraLOCK
developed in-house by BALL to ensure high-grade security. When the case
is locked, the winding stem sealing system ensures the movement remains
clean and its waterproof capabilities always intact. The DuraLOCK
delivers easy and comfortable time setting and hand winding and ultimately
avoids damaging the mainspring by over-winding.
