After 6 months of wear it is time to check and see how a chinese made "hardened" steel held up!
Today we are reviewing a watch from Baltany, a brand that does a lot of old military homages, with this one being the second most original I have seen. In the world of Submariner homages an homage of a Vacheron Constantin 1921 Historique American is a breath of fresh air!
The watch is spectacular in person and the finish is WAY ABOVE its price point and a step up from their 1926 Oyster I reviewed!!
I like it so much that I decided to keep it in my collection!!
The watch is incredibly thin, especially considering it is an automatic, powered by a chinese Sea-Gull movement and comes with a highly domed sapphire crystal, and one of the most comfortable leather straps I have tried.
With a ridicilously low price, it is a no-brainer if you like the styling, and I have to admit I love it!

There are some who believe that scratches give a Watch character. Personally, I prefer showroom condition just like my cars. For me, this hardened steel case is a knockout feature, and another reason why Baltany stands out from the pack. Thanks for the video.

I have a zelos mako titanium with a hardness coating at 1200 vickers. I wear it doing a manual job and 2 or 3 years later not a single mark.

@red75v67 25 дней назад

Very interesting. You're right about Baltany's USP with the case material. They should make more of it. Sinn have created their whole business model on their toughness. It works

@TheGrenadier97 25 дней назад

Baltany is the most interesting chinese brand out there in my opinion.

Does Grand Seiko make a 44GS case with this steel? I'd love to be able to daily the 44GS case without having to worry about the constant scratches with every little bump.

@gitmoholliday5764 25 дней назад

I understand the concept of a drivers watch, but with driving it would make more sense to have it on your right wrist, but this angle of the "12" will make it impossible to wear on the right wrist.

@PocketUau 25 дней назад

Needs to come out with a crown on the left as well.

@boomshanka8743 25 дней назад

European and American drivers would operate gearsticks and switches with their right hand, so having the watch on the left hand which stays on the wheel makes sense.

@gitmoholliday5764 25 дней назад

@@boomshanka8743 but that is exactly why I want it at my right wrist, if your left hand is stable on the steering wheel you still can't see the time, and the moment you use your left hand to turn the wheel it would be to dangerous to check for time. A right hand wristwatch will always be moving between the stick / wheel or switches only in a relative safe situation, so you can turn your wrist comfortably. Also if it is an automatic watch the spring will get re-loaded thanks to shifting gears etc.

@bobanderson7313 22 дня назад

If you wear it on the inside of your left wrist while driving, it's perfect. Good while playing guitar too.

Asia is rapidly taking over 1st place of hi-tech, quality and luxury items. EU is far more concerned about plastic caps fixed to bottles than developing technology. USA is in deep sleep. Let's face it: EU can't compete with China or even Japan. Swiss is like heritage park (established by Quartz Revolution) only for die hard mechanic enthusiasts with big money. If you want to buy good quality watch for good price - pick China or Japan product. Last but not least: "made in China" is the most honest sentence nowadays.

@af8828 25 дней назад

It's just a return to the historical norm. The Northwest Asian Peninsula was only (and ONLY) able to get to the top for a short period by literally siphoning the Indian economy (30% of global GDP pre-colonialism) and then subsequently pillaging most of the remaining world, following which the notion of "Europe" was invented on the basis of early race science. The US has potential to be a global industrial powerhouse still, but neoliberal profit-worship makes it far too enticing for the multinationals who defacto run the country not to move their industry to socialist projects in direct competition. France was just kicked out of the Sahel, where will they get their Uranium? The US was also kicked out of Niger, losing their biggest power projection base in Africa. They destroyed Libya, Yugoslavia, Korea, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and much of the world AFTER already nearly wiping and settling the populations of three continents. They ushered in an unstable climate era and triggered the 6th mass extinction, and for what? All to gatekeep fake cottage industry watches and get overtaken by more industrious and creative competitors again. The long undervalued labour and skill of artisans of the global south shall reach the apex again.

@af8828 25 дней назад

@@betulaobscura It may seem off topic but it's relevant to every industry, including, and especially watchmaking. The response of the Europeans to Seiko beating them in the 60s was to shut put any competition from 1969 and 2009. COSC literally only exists as a response to Seiko outperforming them. Imagine what's going to happen when China, a nation which is not a client state like Japan, which will never break its own back (eg. via the Plaza Accord) fornthe sake of US/Western economic interests, begins outcompeting them. For now they've begun dominating the segment Seiko usually dominated with San Martin, etc., but imagine what will happen when they start seriously making Tudor/ Longines/ King Seiko competitors, and then Rolex/ Omega/ Grand Seiko competitors. This is/ will occur across all industries. They simply cannot compete. Both Japan and Europe will return to their historically normative positions of relative irrelevance.

PS Back in the day some brands use wolfram to produce watch cases. Wolfram is extremely hard, almost impossible to scratch it.

@LucaTheStar 24 дня назад

They should consider bringing that back when they find out how to avoid increasing the weight of any watch to 200g with it. The English word for wolfram is "tungsten".

@betulaobscura 24 дня назад

@@LucaTheStar "Wolfram" is also correct name. High density of wolfram is one of its attributes. You can not avoid it.
