Baltic Hermétique Tourer Owner Review : Fine, elegant and glittering

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.
