"100m" version of the famous Submariner worn by James Bond (reference 6538, water-resistant to 200m), reference 6536 takes all the attributes, apart from the reduced case thickness and the smaller crown. It is a professional diving watch from the 50s, which stands out today for its timeless charm and its refined design, especially with a lacquered "tropical" dial.

An unlikely cross between the submariner - the archetypal diving watch - and the gold models of the Daydate type, this 16618 is one of the most spectacular watches of the brand. Its exuberance will frighten more than one, but for others it will be a magnificent collector's item, which they will be able to wear at the white parties of St Tropez!

The gala adventurer

The Submariner 5513 is the classic of the classics of the sports Rolex and everything has already been written about it. The first versions with lacquered dials are particularly desirable due to the charm of their dial with gold markings. When it is also a very rare example sold at Tiffany & Co. in New York and having the double marking on a dial that has turned chocolate, the term iconic then takes on its full meaning.

As usual, Baltic happily revisits the stylistic codes of watches from the 50s to the 70s. The inspiration from Rolex, Universal, Heuer chronographs, etc. from the 60s is evident here and the overall execution - as well as the attention to detail - will delight neo-vintage enthusiasts. A special mention to the grained finish of the dial and that of the bezel.

The Rolex President is probably the most legendary non-sports Rolex, with its famous fluted bezel and its specific bracelet. The watch of presidents, but also of businessmen, jetsetters, etc. My copy is one of the very rare watches bearing the double signature of the retailer Serpico y Laino of Caracas, who had the privilege of adding his name to the dial of the Rolexes he sold until the end of the 60s. A touch of exclusivity for a legendary watch...

The 7924 is one of the first references that were issued to the French Navy and this is the case of my copy that was used in Toulon. The contained diameter and the large winder give these first Submariners a raw side, an incredible presence on the wrist that is reinforced here by the "tropical" dial. A piece of history and an essential watch.

7924 Big Crown: simply the Beast

Very beautiful watch, which takes up the timeless codes of diving watches with just the right amount of originality. I love the matte brown color of its dial and the sobriety of the logo. The watch is very comfortable to wear because of its size. I also like the fact that it is a limited series made by an enthusiast, I have not seen one on anyone's wrist and I am introducing it to many collectors.

Total success

The brand Baltic was created in 2017 during a Kickstarter campaign by Etienne Malec and his associates in Paris, France.

With this Baltic, you will have the perfect mix of what was best in the 60s-70s with a modern hand-wound mechanical heart.

We return the major inspiration of the Univesal Genève compax "Nina Rindt" of the 60s, but also a bit of Daytona P-Newman or Speedmaster with this flared bezel and its flat links bracelet. Really a tasty mix brought up to date with a neo-retro sauce without losing the identity of Baltic

A pure beauty with a vanilla cream dial with a Swiss mechanical heart from Sellita in a manual version that works like a charm.

The detail that kills even if I am not particularly a car fan, is the number 04 of the limited series engraved on the back of the case in large like a number written on the door of a racing car, it is original and very aesthetic had to think of it

The only downside is the water resistance of only 5 ATM, but for a chrono it is not very serious and if we look closely this Baltic has exactly the same characteristics as for the Speedmaster 57 of Omega with a few details near

A tasty mix of the 60s and 70s

Wanting to own a chrono watch with a white dial and black sub-dials, I fell in love with this Baltic and its mouse-click options. And here I am, the owner of a number on this first series.
My impressions? Small diameter, rather precise movement, very nice finishes and what's more, it has a face!
I love it!

Neo-vintage sports car

This Baltic caught my eye at first glance.

It is reminiscent of some of the most iconic watches we have ever seen.

I love its vintage look and its flat link bracelet, which is as beautiful as it is comfortable. The choice of manual movement allows it to remain very thin and I don't mind the winding at all. On the contrary, it allows me to listen to its heart beating and I must say that it has a sweet sound.
I am simply a fan!

Baltic Tricompax Panda

The inspirations of this Baltic chrono are obvious but it is so well done! Case, dial, glass, bezel, pushers… everything is perfectly proportioned and unfailingly hits the mark when you are fond of old muscular cars, with hints of rubber and burnt oil. In addition to the design, the watch is technically impeccable, precise and comfortable to handle. It can accommodate many leather straps but its flatlink suits it so well and plays so pleasantly with the light that it is difficult not to leave it in place. Just one small flaw, this strap likes hair a little too much; here the homage to old watches is perhaps pushed a little too far…

Tricompax Reverse Panda

Great little watch that goes with everything.
The vantage side of this timepiece is really well done.
I really enjoy wearing it because it is also light.
The case is well made.
The diameter of the case in 39.5m is perfect
