I don't like Roman numerals, I'm not very sporty chic, I'm more of a dateless type. But I often walked past the shop windows in front of this watch with a blah, but I still had to look at it.
then one day for my birthday, at the insistence of a saleswoman I put it on my wrist.
And there! I go from a blah in the shop window to a Whouaaa on my wrist.
a beautiful finesse for this sporty chic, my gaze drowned in this dial of a deep sunny blue, on these small wavelets. Applied indexes with these two Roman numerals which finally bring a very beautiful balance to this dial.
that day, I tried after, all the watches which caught my eye and I had only one thing in my head, this Riviera.

the unexpected

a brand not so old, well-known references, and others much less, like this miros, of a crazy elegance.
despite its 39 mm, it imposes itself on the wrist, its square shape is not foreign to the case and let's talk about its thickness .......... very thin with its 8mm which participates in its affiliation of dress watches.
I associate the aesthetics of this watch with Art Deco, which I particularly like, and this original case back with these small windows which give a glimpse of the manual winding movement.
very pleasant to wear, it will go under all the shirts see more if affinity.
my only downside, I will have to clean the indexes which suffered a small problem of reaction to I don't know what, but nothing dramatic according to my watchmaker.



Art Deco

The hermetic, new release from Baltic, still Retro inspiration, but as always, they do it well.
Released in four colors, I hesitated for a long time and finally you know which one I chose.
I really like this polished rim under the indexes, it is thin and brings reflections of light to this pretty green background. The indexes have a crazy luminescence. Nice syringe hands and lollipop minutes, it checks a lot of boxes.
I chose a flat link bracelet that totally changes its look.
She wants to be adventurous? What better way to put her in a situation with her pleasant FKM tropic.
She did her job, I validate even if I am not a big fan of her marketing.
A fine watch that goes everywhere, I love it.


Baltic Jungle

As sleek as a Le Mans car, this little Rallygraf that doesn't look like any other Rallygraf from Yema, literally won me over.
It completely breathes the 80s, it smells of car racing, hot oil, the heat of the engines, the smell of rubber.
It also reminds me of my childhood with the famous rally cars of Group B.
This superb collaboration with Alpine went unnoticed, should equip part of the staff and mechanics of the endurance team of the 24 hours of Le Mans.
Speaking of racing, the white flange of the watch makes me think of a race track, I know, I'm going a bit far, I admit it.
A 39mm case with a thickness of 11.85mm will easily fit on all wrists, and a water resistance of 100 m, where we would leave the track to end up in a lake.
There would still be a lot to say about this watch but I'll leave you with the photos to talk about the rest.

24 hours of time

I always wanted a Longines, falling in love with several models but never enough to take the plunge. And yet, there it was, out of the catalog, well hidden. This superb elegant watch, almost simple in appearance before getting closer to see a whole bunch of subtleties. Beautiful Alpha or Dauphine hands for some, faceted and striated indexes, the silver color of the dial very very slightly iridescent depending on the light, a very fine typography, an art deco style from the 50s that I particularly like. With its 9.9mm case on a diameter of 38.5, this pretty watch will easily slip under your best shirts. As for me, it's without a shirt, just to admire it. I forgot the case back which is not bad, with its plane among the stars. Which could characterize me with my feet on the ground and my head in the stars. The only downside, its bracelet, too coarse for me.

My Grail from Longines

I would never have imagined one day wearing such a flashy watch, to make matters worse, it has a diameter of 40. But strangely, I like it a lot, and especially this dial background that Seiko knows how to master so well. The only small downside that is no longer today, was its bracelet, help!!!! I quickly replaced it, the same day with a very good quality lizard bracelet.

tinsel on the wrist

I totally fell for this pretty watch when it came out, a very 70s style with a design representing our old televisions, for the older ones of course. A pretty brushed case, mirror polished on a slightly striated dial background, with a gray-green gradient. What I also really like is its big date at 12 o'clock. It reminds me of the departure or arrival boards of means of transport of a certain era. I find that the orange rubber strap version is the best version, perfect for coloring my chicken wrist this summer. Moreover, for this summer, the watch is waterproof to 100M with a screwed crown, enough to be at ease for swimming

<p dir="ltr">(Updated January 2024)</p>

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.

The ultimate all-purpose watch

After all the neo vintage collections released by Baltic, I finally fell for one of their watches.

My review is done in the heat of the moment (I've been wearing it for two weeks). So I'm going to describe my first feelings. It's not impossible that I'll complete my review after several months of use.

Before buying it, I took the time to go to the Baltic showroom in Paris. I recommend it, the welcome is relaxed and the appointment is quick.

It's not easy when you have four colors to choose from. I was very happy to see them in real life.
For me, the color to put aside is the Green. I didn't like the color offered.
The Blue is very classic but not uninteresting. It enhances the polished rim of the dial more than the other models.
The Brown is very beautiful, especially when exposed to direct sunlight. This is the color of 2023.
Beige brings a very nice visibility and freshness that I was missing in my collection.

What I like most about this watch:
- The dial and its indexes. Indeed, the railway is magnificent with this polished rim. The indexes are beautiful, textured and very bright in the dark (well decorated in blue Luminova on my model).

- The font on the dial is fine, readable and sober as I like.

- The case without a crown. This type of watch is ultimately rare. This discreet crown gives it a certain singularity that allows me to diversify my Tool Watch collection.

- The Miyota caliber is super precise. Set within COSC tolerances. FYI, you receive the time grapher results for your watch (+5 for mine) in the box. I am between +4 and +5 seconds per day on average.
-Its finesse makes it versatile and even elegant when equipped with a leather or metal strap.

What you need to know:
Baltic is probably very aware of the difficulty of winding the watch with the crown. The choice of caliber was not chosen by chance. Indeed, you only need to wear the watch for 10 to 15 minutes on your wrist to start it and then adjust it. This is the advice I received at the Showroom.
The Miyota 9039 caliber winds very well with the movements of the wrist without needing to use the crown.

Finally, I will not talk about value for money (Xavier is pleased) but more about pleasure price. I find that for the price I have great emotions while preserving my wallet.

The Toolwatch in all its finesse!!!!

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

A little candy

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.

Green class!

A bit of a mixed review about this watch. 
Having been seduced in advance by the magnificent Instagram photos + rave reviews from the YouTube community, I took the plunge. First impression after unpacking the color of the dial is not as deep as that. Here a rather khaki green. A little disappointment. The flat link bracelet is correct yes, quite comfortable yes, but not as sparkling as promised. I also warn future buyers of this reference that the crown integrated into the case does not allow easy winding of the mechanism. It's even a bit of a hassle! Otherwise, to pull the crown and set the time, no problem. The finishes of the case are there, and for its weight which is quite light, it's fine.
