The (mostly indoor) Adventure begins

My 1st #baltic with the Hermétique. 🤎

Brown FKM strap on 6.5~6.75 inch wrist. The dial (37mm) is amazing 🙌

It's a little small for me but that brown dial looks amazing

Ya, it’s the smallest I own now, smaller even than the Nodus Sector Sport I own. The dial is def captivating me 😅

Looks great on your wrist! Love how the indices pop.

Such a unique color!

Ya and the sides of the indices are also lumed, it’s kinda neat (not the strongest lume, but not bad).

·

Looks fantastic! Congratulations!

Ha! We each have our own unique tastes!

·

Are those markers solid lume blocks!? Could we get a cheeky lume shot?

·

Looks fantastic!

Beautiful piece

·

Absolutely stunning watch!

·

Yeah I like the 3D indices! Maybe I need a Baltic 🧐

·

I’d never think a brown dial would look so good. Baltic is making some great watches

·

Congrats!

Sry the best I could manage tonight. But yep, solid lumed indices. Not the usual lume filled ones you usually see it seems ✌️

Not just the watch, matching That strap witha the watch is amazing too mate. 😊 👍

You can option the bracelet, but the default selection is the color matched tropic strap ✌️

·

I love the crystal shape, suits the watch so well.

They’re straight blocks of lume!

Very nice watch. In fact, I am on the point of buying it. It looks almost perfect on any point and with the integrated crown, it must be very comfortable.

I read some people saying, without owning it though, that the Miyota movement could be noisy. How is it really?

This is my 2nd (if not 3rd) microbrand with the Miyota 9000 series. Personally I can’t tell any real difference in sound vs. NH, Sellita, or ETA, tho I’ve also read people saying that. Now the Miyota 8000 series is kinda subpar, so honestly not sure if people just say it cus both wind only in one direction. 🤷

As for the watch: if you’re cool with 37mm, I highly recommend (granted I’ve only had it for little over 1 day).

Thank you and now I can confirm 🤣

In fact, the Sellita SW200 in my Alpina was much noisier. I would often hear it, or even my wife noticed it.

The baltic is rather silent, I need to stick my ear on it to hear it.

In some specific conditions, the rotor is noiser though. But it’s rare and it takes a lot of shaking.

Otherwise very nice watch, ultra confortable. I am still not sure if I like the design (sometimes I adore it, sometimes I am skeptic), so I am going to see if I get used to it in the coming days.

Oh interesting, I may not be the most observant with sound 😅 Although I think perhaps some watches are more noisier than others (despite having the same movement).

Regardless, hope you love the Hermétique🤞

Sure ! And about the noise, anyway, it's a very minor detail to me.

But some comments really scared me when they said it's ultra noisy. It's not at all, really, it's hard to tell the difference with any other watch.

I have to say mine is still noisier than my yema 2000/sw200 but not enough to add a minus
