My first Baltic in aaaaaaages, and very nice it is too. Definitely not a spec monster. It pretty much recreates the look and the feel of a vintage piece. If that does not appeal then look elsewhere, but if you love vintage then chances are you'll love this. Cheers, Jody

“It’s a pretty small watch but it’s also a pretty, small watch” That’s a great quote, seems to perfectly summarize this piece!

@XjohnjohnX88 Год назад

As a French, I know this watch. And it's a very good looking watch. Bravo Baltic! Thanks for the review, Jody.

@timhorack5468 Год назад

Simple, elegant and beautiful.

@DrTerryBooth Год назад

I got one of those from the last batch. It is a very nice watch. I do like the salmon dial, it adds to that retro look. That claim on the movement is there more for decoration and to maintain the high grade look. My main bug bear is the bezel. It feels like you're peering through a port hole.

@lkdenve Год назад

It’s midnight. Guess now I’m going to sleep even later. Good looking watch though.

@atlanticfightclub5213 Год назад

2am here!

@JustOneMoreWatch Год назад

You can sleep in ten mins Glenn! Thanks for tuning in.

@johnsrabe Год назад

Lovely watch. Love the Bruguet hands. They are such an elegant choice. 8:25 and no the dial isn’t salmon … it’s sand - note the sandy texture! The dial is a Zen sand thingy … with the small circular raked seconds dial. I love how focused the design is. Such restraint. Nice video Jody.

@chrispeek380 Год назад

It's attractive and could work with some ensembles. Nicely decorated for the price. My only hesitation is that the technology and materials exist to significantly upgrade the water resistance and crystal but they are deliberately going for a lower spec "authenticity". This a perfectly valid direction, but I don't see paying close to $600 for a somewhat delicate microbrand. That acrylic Hesalite crystal is plenty tough but it is likely to get banged up beyind repolishing witin a year or two. This watch takes too much babying to be a go-to for everyday wear.

@AgeofEon Год назад

Ordered an MR01 in salmon the other day - clicked on this video so damn fast. Couldnt wait to see your footage and thoughts. I'm so very excited

@astrostl Год назад

I was looking at this AS the video dropped! 7.25” wrist here but I’m appreciating smalls and in the market for a 36. I would go Anordain if available but this is a strong alternate and I’ll probably pull the trigger. Thanks for the vid, it’s helpful!

@MyRetroWatches Год назад

That’s beautiful Jody. Agree the high polished bezel is a mistake but everything else is spot on. Think acrylic crystal is a great nod to the vintage world.

@atlanticfightclub5213 Год назад

I honestly love the offset subseconds, I may have to pick this one up!

@Gunthusiest Год назад

Beautiful piece..

@scottsj4625 Год назад

I really like it. I have been looking for a nice dress watch for a while but have always been hit with the price tag for anything good. The price on this after conversion is about 585 USD. I did not check out the shipping or taxes yet. Nice review, Jody.

@gromit1996 Год назад

Ohhhh... that is nice. Very well decorated for a sub-$500 watch. Thanks for exposing us to watches that are affordable AND fun to own.

@johnmoorefilm Год назад

Jody - I pitched at the Leith Ad Agency In Edinburgh back in the day when they launched that slogan on your T-shirt!😅

@lawncrow Год назад

This one has something reminiscent of a zen garden, the grainy dial reminds me of sand and the radial pattern on the subdial looks like the rake patterns they make in the sand, I guess this effect is more pronounced with the salmon color since that actually looks like the color of sand. Really neat!

@williambanks7809 Год назад

Nice looking watch. Have you seen the Tresod watches? I can't find a review on them anywhere. They look like an Invicta, but with sapphire crystal and super luminova. Just extremely curious.

@haping1 Год назад

Great looking watch and very nice they used a micro rotor. Which the dial was a bit bigger and the bezel smaller. The 20 mm lug width is too wide for me. There aren't to many tapered straps in my collection to change it for. So almost perfect, but not for me...

@andrewd7586 Год назад

I’m waiting on mine now Jody. I ordered mine with the brown leather strap. This will be my second Baltic. I bought the Aquascaphe a few years ago & it’s still one of my favourites.😎👍🏻

@ronnienes Год назад

In terms of the hesalite being "rich and warm" is that to say that the light is warmer in colour as it passes through the hesalite as compared to a sapphire, which is colder in colour?

@rafenwulf Год назад

I saw a watch on Ali under the Lobinni brand using the same movement, just over 200 Euro. But the Baltic looks heaps better, i'd definitely cough up the extra money for this one, very tempting! A little edit here, the price will be higher, about 600 to 700 Euro depending on where you live, the tax man knocks. Now I find it a bit tougher, there are so many probably better alternatives in this price range.

@PlugInRides Год назад

Lobinni and Boderry also make 40mm watches with this movement, and the dials are mainly white or black, with Boderry also selling a emerald green dial. The Lobinni and Boderry watches are much cheaper, in the $220 to $260 price range, with sapphire crystals.

@JustOneMoreWatch Год назад

Coming soon......

@calnative4904 Год назад

The micro rotor is pretty good but a larger dial and a thinner bezel would be much nicer.

@stephenremington8448 Год назад

Very nice watch, I like the micro rotor, and nice diameter.

@jonathanthomas6557 Год назад

I own the silver. Yes. Legibility is a challenge, but it's good looking. I have a Cartier Tank and a 34mm HMT with a simular crystal so I waffle on keeping my Baltic or selling it. It is stunning on the beads of rice bracelet. It's a special occasion watch that isn't very special. I usually love the watches I have or hate them. This one is wonderful and meh at the same time.

@LiamGCErskine Год назад

Mr Jomw, I've got this watch but what would you recommend as regards polishing/ cleaning? And buffing

@JustOneMoreWatch Год назад

Just a clean dry cloth.

@sweetcorn1968 Год назад

What a sweet looking watch. Love the classic look

@magnumbrown 11 месяцев назад

you should be reviewing the militado..... when you check it out you will know why.

@jamesbyles7070 Год назад

I don’t understand the big watch craze. I have a 7.5” wrist and far prefer 36-39mm watches (he says as he looks at the Seiko Turtle beater he has on his wrist today 😂). I do like the look of this Baltic, although a slightly slimmer bezel would be nice.

@jmskelly59 Год назад

No mention of what the display back is made of?

@SunsetSheen Год назад

Perfect design and dimensions, but I really wish they offered it with a sapphire crystal.

@maxs.6743 Год назад

Very nice Jody 😊🎉

@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen Год назад

I like it but 36 is tiny for anyone with a wrist like mine. 38mm would have been perfect. Its a shame the movement wasn't designed with the second hand registry at the 6 o'clock instead of 7.5.

@SeikoLeaks Год назад

thats a handsome movement ❤🔥 very nice

@andal7404 Год назад

Lobini use the same movement, with sapphire crystal, for about a third of the price.

@ajmarion Год назад

Love mine! Such a cool and unique watch

@treehugger3615 Год назад

I feel that if we ordered the bracelet version, it should also come with the strap.

@IRguyIR Год назад

Nice watch. Lucky for them, no other micro brand makes these, so they can charge a huge premium. On Ali watches with this movement go for half the price. They are similar to "Lobinni" watches, seems that they come from the same factory

@East_Anglian Год назад

I have to agree herer; it is a good looker, but for that money, soft glass and a 28 second per day movement is a tad underwhelming: We're all ready to attack Seiko for that kind of price / quality so I'm not feeling it for this one...

@krasnaludek298 Год назад

I really like this watch, but wish it was offered in 39mm-42mm … just way too small for my wrist.

@dan12pax Год назад

Does it hack and hand wind? Might’ve missed where you mentioned in the review

@jamesblonde2271 Год назад

The box is interesting, Pateks used to come in Cork boxes, back in the 70's.......cute watch too. The blue one is tempting

@sl8ight_yt Год назад

Didn't realise these have acrylic crystals. I have the Acquascaphe and that uses sapphire. Not sure about the choice to go with hesalite on this one unfortunately. Would almost always prefer glass.

@Jelloc Год назад

Can you do a comparison of Baltic vs Baltany and why they have such a price discrepancy between them despite the similarity in names

@benhillman1673 Год назад

Jody coming through and saving my overnight shift! Best thing to see sitting in the ambulance at midnight!

@verykeen2please Год назад

stylish I love the colour salmon or not - any issues known with the movement?

@TheMainCore Год назад

Stunning looking watch! Love the numerals. I have considered a Baltic for some time now. This one is tempting - just not convinced by that Chinese movement.

@Michel411 Год назад

Agreed. The watch is beautiful and I would gladly forego the micro rotor gimmick if it meant the watch came with a decent ETA, Sellita or even Miyota 9000 series movement.

@agupta2450 Год назад

I would love to see a JOMW review for the Baltic Aquascaphe, I've had one for over a year now and IMO it's one of the best in the affordable category

@heidyaji Год назад

Lovely watch, perfect size. Nice one, Jody!

@alexandrupara4574 Год назад

Beautiful little watch. Love it's simplicity.

@darrenhojnacki6636 Год назад

For retro dress watches I like this and Lorier’s Zephyr. Still having a hard time with the Crystal at their price points

@Mahi-trbl07x Год назад

Can you review the baltic aquascaphe?

@randomusername6565 Год назад

Such a pretty, pretty watch.

@robedmunds7163 Год назад

That is a lovely looking movement

@normanhunter7 Год назад

Very nice watch, personally I'd prefer a standard second hand or even no second hand at all.

@karlsenula9495 Год назад

I rather like the look of this one. Apparently not so much many of the other commenters. But I get it, dress watches are not as popular as sports watches. However, for the same movement would you take the Baltic over the less expensive ($227USD) Lobinni micro rotor?

@finesse49 Год назад

A friend has the Aquascaphe classic blue gilt which I think looks great. This one leaves me cold. Nice size though🙂.

@jaer.6540 Год назад

I just cant do acrylic...need that sapphire

@ahojnazdar3656 Год назад

This Baltic watch is atm being "reviewed" everywhere. These days there is so few real non-paid reviewers on RU-vid who don't get paid to sell watches :(

@denisdaly1708 Год назад

Are they available?

@AwkwardHorology Год назад

So weird! I’ve been looking at this watch since it’s been back in stock looking to buy either salmon or blue dial (not sure yet!) It’s like you regularly read my mind and shopping list Jody!

@ramspencer5492 Год назад

Oh.... Nice! I've seriously had my eye on this one! I also really like their retro style drivers. Not quite such accurate retro specs on those. They just look kind of.... Right.

@kengachira Год назад

That's a looker

@staggering1042 Год назад

I have to say I do really like this watch. But Yes it needs to be bigger for me. I would lobe to have one in 40+ sizes. Nice watch all in all. Thank You

@MikeSmith-er1qs Год назад

Gorgeous little watch and if I were in the buying mood, this would make the list.

@peterfoskett Год назад

Another great review Jodie, but the watch is not for me. The flat polished bezel looks really odd and the dial is bland. I also wouldn’t buy a watch with a Chinese movement inside.

@matthewbessey681 Год назад

Nice looking watch, back and front.

@bobyoutube4037 Год назад

Morning jody, thanks for reviewing, I had my eye on this for sometime. Might have to pull the trigger but that said it August soon and there may be more important watches on the horizon.......

@JustOneMoreWatch Год назад

;) You know it Bob!

@Shpeil Год назад

I'm not sold on the aesthetics - the off-centre subdial and textured dial finish are my main issues with it.

@sheldorleconcher8870 Год назад

Gorgeous! Really makes me wish I wore dress watches - I could see myself wearing this one though, hmmmm....

@ganrimmonim Год назад

That is a lovely looking watch and the first watch I've ever seen that I've thought oh if I save a bit I could buy that. And as I say it looks amazing.

@brunocraighero2460 Год назад

Usually I agree with your analysis, but this time I have some niggles too. The blue strap really doesn't match with the dial, why not try with a classic black one, or why not, a cream one? Champagne? Or even a camel brown, a tobacco... I don't think a "cold" color like blue will match good with it. I really can't see the twist, the catch, probably I have to see it live. The movement looks really good and it's the best part of the watch, good thing you have start from that. Aaaaand... Not so cheap as I was thinking, we are talking about a Baltic, not a Hamilton...

@watchmitch3699 Год назад

That’s funny you’re doing a review of a Baltic and a beauty at that. Did you get the email I sent you about my Baltic review?

@JustOneMoreWatch Год назад

When did you send it mate?

@watchmitch3699 Год назад

@@JustOneMoreWatch the email Tuesday. The subject is apologies. I’ll try resending it now. Thanks.

@aarons.watches Год назад

I always put deployant clasps on watches and 15mm makes it almost impossible. 14 or 16 would have been nice. Other than that it’s gorgeous.

@alexkwan3 Год назад

just get a 16, no one is gonna notices 1mm gap on your deployant

@mjkded Год назад

What happened to the timegrapher?

@AlexanderB. Год назад

I like the brand and I like most of their watches. But I don't like it when brands pass off hesalite and acrylic crystals as period correct. When you look at Baltany for example, there are sapphire crystals that look just as beautiful. I don't want to fiddle with Polywatch, I want sapphire, sapphire, sapphire!

@StuntpilootStef Год назад

I like how they didn't play it safe with a standard Miyota/Seiko/Sellita movement but chose something interesting instead.

@scottlauren3145 Год назад

I like the looks of this watch and was close to getting one when they first came out but the movement just doesn't inspire confidence for me. You mentioned this one running at +28 per day and while it looks nice, its still made inn China. Side question, Jody - When your watches are finally out for purchase or pre-sale, do you think it will be in a limited quantity or a large amount? Or is it too early to answer that?

@914Rocky Год назад

I am a Baltic fan. I have an Aquascaphe, Baltic’s most classic watch, and I love it. But the MR01 is a miss for me. It’s way too expensive for what you get. I have that same movement in a Lobinni that I got at Ali Express for about $125. I’ve had it for 2-3 years with no issues. The lack of a sapphire bezel at this price point is unforgivable. I hate the argument that it is a retro feature. It reminds me of an apartment I had that leaked where the landlord said that leaks are part of the charm of an old building. I didn’t find it the slightest bit charming and made them move me when they couldn’t fix the leaks. I also think they should definitely put the Baltic B on the crown. This watch might have given me pause at $300 but at nearly $600 it’s a giant pass. Returning to the Aquascaphe, it kills me that Baltic has terrible lume. Baltic is a great micro brand but prices me out of its market at least with this MR01. But plenty of people buy them so maybe Baltic is on to something.

@pearson1662 Год назад

Simply gorgeous!

@samiantikainen8009 Год назад

Neat little dressy piece, but would much prefer a well know reliable movement.

@petervanvalkenburg1147 Год назад

Perfect dress watch, just perfect

@barryvercueil2346 Год назад

Good morning from South Africa. Incredible watch. Amazing value for money. Thanks for the cork fact. Cheers.

@kamaalkatariya1088 Год назад

Would go for a lobini interlaken instead

@donjuan150 Год назад

Great design, but I could never wear a watch that small...

@watchmitch3699 Год назад

I hate acrylic crystal, can’t do it without sapphire. Probably because I’m a clumsy oaf.

@JustOneMoreWatch Год назад

I'm kinda with you on that mate. I only have one acrylic in my vast collection 🤣

@Agrippa31BC Год назад

I’d get the blue if it had >50m WR and if there was a beads of rice bracelet to accompany it, but that’s just me. Cool watch.

@timrosenthal46 Год назад

Really nice but it would look like the size of a 5c piece on my wrist ...

@JB91710 Год назад

Looks like the Lobinni.

@adk7962 Год назад

Beautiful watch. Probably not for me but apparently for enough people since they sell out all the time. Portugal you say….🧐

@ignaciopadilla5150 Год назад

I think this is my next watch at its price point.

@HAL-xy3om Год назад

What a beautiful watch!

@sandylman8219 Год назад

Would look a lot better without the small seconds dial and it's off centre!

@garybrown4671 Год назад

Nice looking watch.

@watchalot919 Год назад

Nice, but expensive for what it is

@pedrorusk4811 Год назад

sharp looking

@fischziege Год назад

Hey Jody, new thumbnail looks good, but I almost skipped over it in my subscriptions because I'm not interested in the watch, but I am interested in your videos. Maybe make it a bit more recognizeable?

@JustOneMoreWatch Год назад

Yeah, trying to experiment a bit, but I realise there is risk in doing so!

@watchandspray 10 месяцев назад

For the money and poor water resistance I'd rather buy a lobinni or a boderry.

@brianmccord7387 Год назад

If Boderry or Lobinni could just put out a microrotor in 36, with their usual specs, they'd probably have a winner. I will give Baltic the award for much more elegant design, however.
