The Baltic Hermétique
A nice little thing from Baltic in stainless steel with a case that measures 37mm.
This is the brown model and it also comes in green, blue & beige.
A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating gives the warm feeling of an old plastic crystal.
Nice and clean with a really recessed crown, strange that more brands haven't adopted this.
It is hard not to like.
Fat numbers loaded and markers at the dial.
Water resistance to 150 meters is not bad as it does not have a screw down crown.
The Super Luminova do a great job.
The fat numbers really glows.
Inside the case is a Miyota 9039 automatic movement with a power reserve of 42 hours and hacking second..
It comes with a brown rubber strap with a regular clasp, it can be ordered with a with a bracelet made of stainless steel.
I think Baltic has created a really successful model here that feels both well-balanced and unique.
There can never be too many lume shots.
The real question is: can it replace my Explorer?
But if it did that's thousands of dollars coming my way thanks to Baltic!
I like that approach.
