The new Baltic Worldtimers
Baltic releases three fairly affordable Worldtimers, each one featuring a stone dial.
To begin with, here's the Tiger Eye variant.
Each variant can be purchased either with a beads of rice bracelet or with a leather strap.

The 24-hour disc, which can be set via the crown, can either be synchronised with the hour hand (and become a day night indicator) or be used as a second time zone indicator. It makes one full turn per day.
Below:
- On the Tiger Eye model (left): the disc indicates a second time zone (midnight) independent from the 10:10 of the hands.
- On the Labradorite model (right): the disc is synchronised with the hands and indicates that it is 13:55 and not 1:55.
The 120 clicks unidirectional brushed ceramic bezel can be adjusted independently to indicate the main 24 time zones around the world.
Below is the Labradorite variant.
The case measures 37 x 11.3 (9.3mm without glass) x 45 mm.
The first series is limited to 200 pieces per model.
And the watches are powered by an automatic Soprod C125 (modified, no date) beating at 28,800vph (4Hz) with stop second and 42h power reserve.
The dial and hands are well lumed with Super-LumiNova® BGW9.
The third and last variant features a Sodalite dial.

Really good looking watches in a nice size
You can tell that this brand is run by people who really like watches. Also, stone dials seem to be hot right now.
I agree with you: I think they've done and still do a very good job
because they truly love watches. Stone dials are not always welcome, but here they are very fine. Best, Emmanuel
It would be ideal indeed if they could give the choice
between these two sizes. I guess their taste for vintage is the reason for the 37 mm diameter. Best, Emmanuel
I really like them, particularly the tiger eye variant.
The contrast is so nice with that one. I imagine the sun reflecting off it while reading a book in the window seat on a future flight - lovely. The fonts used look great. I’ve heard complaints in the comments section of other sites about the lack of a sec...
Like you, the absence of seconds hand and minute indices doesn't bother me.
And the design and price point are definitely appealing! Best, Emmanuel
Does the hour hand make a full rotation in 12 or 24hr?
That tiger eye has a lovely vintage vibe.
As far as I've understood, the hour hand is conventional: 12-hour rotation.
But information isn't very clear yet: I hope I didn't get it wrong... Best, Emmanuel
