Finally brought this nautical Baltany to the seaside

Finally brought this nautical Baltany to the seaside

I have been wanting to wear it out here for a while haha. Just happened to be passing by the beach today.

For me, It feels like a mix of bronze tool watch vibes, a rounded vintage case profile, and a dial that gives off some Tudor style vintage diver energy. The bronze bezel and dial just vintage nautical. And that sapphire with the AR coating makes everything legible.

But it is not an actual dive watch. It has 200m water resistance but lacks a rotating bezel for timing dives. Still, for the price, it is an great daily piece!

The 3D smoked dial is definitely the biggest highlight of this one. The light play is amazing, giving it a premium, almost galaxy-like texture. And they always nail their AR coating, so the dial is pretty clear. This is actually one of the reasons I like Baltany!

Inside is a Seagull ST2130. It has been running well with no issues so far. Thinner and higher beat than the usual NH38 is a really nice upgrade, though the reliability remains to be seen. It is worth pointing out that they actually removed the date wheel to fit the no-date dial. Honestly, I never cared much about the ghost position anyway, since my San Martins have it too.
