This is the Ball Engineer Master II Diver COSC. Case is titanium. It comes with either a Ball rubber strap or a titanium bracelet. The watch shown belongs to an earlier generation that has thick yellow tubes as index markers. The current generation of EMII Diver COSC uses green tubes instead of the yellow ones.

I have a couple of questions:
Are all Ball watches shock resistant? And when we say shock resistant, is it on the same level as G-shock? I understand that the lume is powered by gas tubes, what happens when the gas runs out? Don't know if I'm stating this correctly.

No, please dont subject your Ball automatics to the same kind of shocks as Casio G-shock watches. An automatic movement will never be as tough as a quartz movement, whats more a quartz movement housed in a G-shock case.
The radioactive material in the gas tube will decay and the lume is supposedly usable for approx 25 years (gradually losing its lume with time). When the lume runs out, according to Ball, the tubes can be replaced for a reasonable fee. Quote:
