I bought a salmon one this week from the London boutique. I love how you can have it with any strap from the collection, although there is a mark up for the steel versions. Yep the crown is a little small but also a little cheap looking but with regard the rotor it does rattle a bit if shaken but on the wrist you don't notice it. The Bicompax looks fantastic as well it has a Seagull movement and looked fantastic in Blue.

Had the Baltic MR01 for a week, will I recommend it? Yes and No. The piece I received ran about a minute slow everyday out of the box and it was an immediate return for me. I knew the movement in the watch is something that is not tried and tested but took the risk with it and even when none of the reviews or write ups ever mentioned the tolerance of the movement.
The watch for the price, the quality is 7/10. The finishing on the case is average at most but they had done wonders with the beautiful dial and the supplied leather strap is excellent. The hesalite gives it that vintage aesthetics but they could have gone with a double domed sapphire at this price point. The movement is great to look at but I would not recommend to anyone picking this watch up as their one watch and thought hard enough to spend you hard earned money. If you are an enthusiast, go for it cause the micro rotor is not something you find often with a watch at this price point. If you want a dress watch for similar price and dont want to worry about the movement, just buy a Seiko Presage, 38mm Orient Bambino or a Tissot Le Locle.
Word of advice, don't set the time backwards or backhack this movement cause it will cause a lot of problems and it is a common complaint with this caliber.

Edit: My MRO1 was from their last release so I hope they have fixed the common complaints with the movement in this year's release. Also, Baltic's customer service is great so no worries if you encounter any issues, they are prompt and have a very good return policy if something is wrong with your watch out of the box.

I wish I could love a dress watch. I think the level of detail, refined finish, and typically demure look to a well executed and simple dress watch is elegant and classy. I love it right up until it's on my wrist, then it just doesn't fit with my lifestyle or military career needs. This watch is a real beauty, and I certainly appreciate the refinement and classy look of this timepiece for sure. If I were to settle on a dress watch, it would be something like this. For me though, I've gone the vintage-inspired "dress diver" route with a Christopher Ward Dartmouth for those more formal occasions.

This would sit very handsomely amongst the vintage selection, absolutely love the display case back, this could be one your dad would like

I enjoy this watch so much I did something I’ve never done before, and have now ended up purchasing each colour variant. Originally got the salmon about a year ago. Then got the blue face, which is so dark it almost looks black depending on the lighting, and reflects the face markers so well. Now I just ordered the silver and a couple of different strap colours to give me lots of options and is to arrive next month. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the others. Based on how this watch always sells out I can see I’m not the only one who enjoys this watch.

I have a Baltic Dual Crown Aquascaphe. I love it ! It has become my new daily wear! Also, really really like the quick release spring bars. They are a nice touch

[TheChaz]

The thought of Pagani having "time alone" with that caseback

[jeromej]

It looks fantastic, the blue dial and Arabic numerals are done just right. The band is great. The case back is so handsome. What a great value. That’s a keeper. Well done, sir.

[zaygezunt]

What a little beauty! I too am in love. Good to see Mr Pagani again, he always makes me laugh.

[rickrounds]

I like the Baltic HMS-002 even more. Thanks MWC.

Aliexpress has the same lookin watch for $316.00 CDN by Lobinni with the same movement

[brianfromireland]

Just got the black Casio forester, put it on rubber strap and LOVE it. I’d recommend… if your looking for a field watch

[Mark-sdfc]

That’s a beautiful watch I really like the grainy face,
I got an Orient Bambino about 5 years ago and I never looked back, everything else has at least 200m water resistance

[JohnBuckmaster-swwm]

Like the bad guy in Total Recall would wear”…. Obscure reference that made me chuckle… But the more I thought about it… Spot on!!!

[rickfimple]

I LOVED this watch from the moment I saw it about 3 weeks ago!? The salmon dial and the design is just beautiful to me. I was/am just worried about the size on my 7 inch wrist..but I think it will look great! I should have asked for this for Father’s Day…but I have a hunch my wife bought me the Mission Impossible 1 Casio watch, which I am not mad at. Good review!

[mitchelljohnspencer]

I would love to hear your thought on a baltic aquascaphe. I’ve had mine for over two years and I have zero complaints

[mell]

I would have liked to have seen them taking quality up a level, you pay for what you get. A more refined product and I think they could have easily charged more to cover the cost because they have a nice design.

[nikk]

Good God!! This watch is gorgeous as hell!!

[DisplayKeesBack]

I like it a lot, but 36mm is way to small for me. That is such a shame. I also like the divers, but also a bit on the small side for me. Great review!

The good thing about the cork packaging is that it will float if the plane shipping it by airfreight goes down, so you'd still be a chance of receiving it ..
