What do you make of the new Baltics?

I do like them.

But I bought the Baltic Aquascaphe a few years ago and am seeing Baltic’s pricing ticking up and they might be reaching a point where they bump up against some tough competition. Especially after shipping and duties are involved.

True. I suspect that they will try to find a comfortable position just below the really expensive’ mark and own it. Just a thought.

That white one needed black hands!!!

Not a fan of the sunken crown, otherwise very nice

Interesting, I got much more anordain vibes here.

They look great to be honest. I agree with the comment on the recessed crown. Unless you’re wearing the thing everyday that’s going to be a nuisance to wind and set.

It felt great in person, the standard range. The matched straps work really well on the burgundy and cream.

Dressy dial and case with old school rubber dive strap WTF 🤦🏻‍♂️

They look amazing. Baltic doesn't miss, imo.

I'm not a snob......and I guess starting the sentence like that might mean I am 😂 but I am not a fan of miyota movements but this watch has been tempting me.

Very nice but too small for my taste and my big wrist. 😉

Very nice, something different, just don't like the "missing" crown.

Meh…the white dial washes out the hands

Will highly recommend the regular model. 👌

I don't get it myself, not a brand that does anything for me TBH, just another microbrand.

Those are really nice pieces for sure!

I'll add that an Australian company is building something similar, though not with a wavy dial like these Baltics.

I must admit I find the white dial quite tempting

Love the dial and handset. Dislike the case design.

I gotta say, Baltic makes some very tempting watches and they seem to be just keeping it up. Though I do agree with the observation that the white dial needs black hands.

I like them ok, but the dial looks and fits better on the Straums that they were originally made for. This is a copy of those dials (especially the silver), but stuck in a different kind of watch.

And I'm not really convinced that these dials match Baltic's aesthetic. They're distinctly non-vintage, and much sportier than anything Baltic has done, this case included.

Yes, I think you have a very good point! 🎯

I follow Balic for some time and when a saw this model I gave them a call and talked the watch. Long story short I ordered the black one.

Will put it one a darkblue NATO

What do you think of the price point of the regular models, are they worth it ? I mean they are not particularly cheap or affordable but I do like their design.

Sounds good! Make sure you show us when you’re ready 😃

So I have/had 30 watches all in the <$1000 price point. My favorite brand (and the most $$) are my Direnzo watches.

I have been eyeing the Baltic Divers for a while but never pulled the trigger and one of the reasons was the price. But I felt this model was different https://www.watchcrunch.com/sam_kula/posts/hermetique-3d-indices-318829

There’s something truly gorgeous about the Hermetique. The domed sapphire, the Lume indices, and even the Miyota which feels very smooth. And I think for a small watch it wears beautifully, on any strap.

Not the best value proposition perhaps, but I think they have earned that price in my book (at least for the base model). Oh I have fat fingers (I wear XL gloves), but that crown is NOT as had to operate as people who never had one claim it to be. ✌️

Yep!

I’m a fan but the only thing I don’t like is the recessed crown. I wish #baltic had chosen to go with a bigger, easier to manipulate crown

Cool! Looks remarkable. Like a dark choppy sea.
