These are cool. 37mm is a bit below what I prefer (almost 18cm wrist), so I'd prefer something in maybe the 38.5 or 39mm range. The 20mm lug width does help it look a bit less diminutive though. The beads of rice looks great and would definitely be my preference, though they look great on the tropic straps too. I think the dial design is both vintage feeling and modern. The applied numerals are apparently just coated in lume and not blocks of lume. However, that is understandable at the price point and they still look great. I wish Tudor had created numeral blocks of ceramic lume on their new Ranger release. I probably would have bought one if they had. The blue is my favorite, but the green is a very nice shade as well. Aesthetically the crown looks nice, though I would have to see how it functions in person. That might be a candidate for a watch winder if it's hard to set. I appreciate getting to see these on video as it helps more than even excellent photos when considering a watch. Kudos to Baltic for letting you create a video on these for the announcement.

can I hire you for my copy ? agreed on the lugs , thinner would make it look more in proportion I guess but i'm happy i can slap my 20mm nato's on it ... pictures to prove that on IG ;)

37mm is a bit above what I expected. Explorer is 36mm, and I like 34-36mm the best. I've used that hiding kind of crown with Seiko and I liked it. it was an automatic, so the crown wasn't used much.

Would have to try the non protruding crown in real life to see if it works, but the looks are fantastic. The beige one is really up my alley and, as a watch I would only wear from time to time, I could probably live with the poor accuracy of the movement. Well done, Baltic 🇫🇷

Lol, 37mm not your sweet spot with a 16.5cm wrist. That's average, 36-40mm should be your sweet spot depending on the watch type. As for baltic, great watches but the tropic straps are too stiff and the beads of rice bracelet should have more of a taper, something to work on.

@@BowlOfSalmon I have the aquaschaphe which I really like, to the point where I ended up selling some of my other divers, so I do appreciate the brand/design. My comment is not so much about swapping out the straps for something else, I just feel like they cheaped out on the tropic strap that's provided but it looks like they have now introduced FKM straps for this series of watches, which could be an improvement.

Baltic did a good job on the dial, I quiet like it. But they failed miserably on the Lugs. It overhangs way too much, beyond the end links of the steel bracelets, making it look ugly. Another thing is that the winding crown will be very difficult to wind. I will pass on this one, sadly

@davidc5191 8 ай бұрын

I agree on the crown. I have a watch with a similar design that I don't wear any more because the crown is impossible to wind. The watch company says you don't need to wind it since it's an automatic. Well, if you give the watch a shake to get the auto started, that winds the watch for about 20 seconds, then it stops.

@user-tx4wj7qk4t Ай бұрын

The design is objectively not bland or uninspired. A movement being "overused" is probably the most sperg thing I've ever heard. You're trying to be a movement hipster lol?
