Baltic Hermétique Tourer - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

This watch is truly the archetype of the tool watch, while being relatively elegant. The particularity of this model is its extremely discreet crown, which fits very well into the case. I really like the finesse of the latter, as well as the readability of the numbers and indexes. The glass highlights the dial. The bracelet is very comfortable to wear.

Luminova, colorful, all round. This hermetic was a hit and these 3 points are answers to this success. I took the green version, I hesitated with the blue one. The green one has a green luminova working very well. The watch is 37.5mm and has a Miyota series 9 (like many Miyota), the crown is the most critical point, being embedded in the case. One might think that the watch is difficult to wind. Indeed it is, but no need to wind it. A reset to the time, and wearing it on the wrist does the rest without winding the watch with the crown. I recommend

Baltic has achieved the feat of making a watch that is truly wearable in all situations. It is first of all elegant, discreet, with its military / explorer inspiration. Worn with a leather strap, it will look very dressy. On a steel or fabric, it will look like a field watch. But the feat is not only on the aesthetics, it is also on the excellent specifications despite a very flat case: - water-resistance up to 15 bars - very robust Miyota movement - recessed crown, therefore very well protected (almost equivalent to a screwed one) - sapphire crystal - splendid luminescence that lasts honorably a good part of the night - very precise watch (+3sec / day), because very well adjusted by Baltic The 37mm case actually has quite a bit of presence, especially since the lugs are long (a little too much for my taste, even). I paired it with a Bonklip bracelet (from Joseph Bonnie), because it's a watch that I never take off: work, DIY, sports, swimming... It's the perfect combination. Its flat profile means that it still hasn't taken a real hit, glass and case intact, despite intense activity. Frankly, the only mixed points in my opinion are the bracelets provided: the plastic one is a little too firm and moderately comfortable, the metal (rice grains) is beautiful, but a little too heavy for the watch and not very comfortable if your wrist swells and deflates a lot during the day (no fine adjustment without a tool). Concerning the crown, don't worry: it took me a while to figure it out, but it's actually very easy to handle once you get the hang of it. Just pinch it between your nails, case vertical.
