Baltany have just released their 36mm version of the classic Explorer watch in 2 colours. The Baltany Discoverer 36mm. With the Seiko NH38 Auto movement.
I have them both in for review and have been wearing them for nearly a week to see what I think of them.
They might not be perfect but for the price they are excellent value for money and offer the discerning enthusiast a true budget Go AnyWhere Do Anything Watch.

They’re both beauties. I thought the 36mm would look small on your wrist, but it looks bang on. Great review as always! I’m boring so I would probably still get the black.

Brown dial really pops! Great review. Covering the important issues for true watch fans. Thanks John.

[asiantimepieces]

I really like that brown dial and beige strap combo 👌🏼👌🏼

[daveindevon]

I agree with you completely on the thickness of the bezel. Once I noticed that I couldn't unsee it. That clasp also looked quite chunky when seen alongside the Watch Dives version. Shame really, as I'm a big fan of Baltany watches. Good, honest review as usual John.

[JonTheComputerDoctor]

Have to say your comments are spot on and the quality of your reviews just get better and better.

[WATCHingJames]

Great to a couple of versions. It is a great looking watch.

Thanks John, you're hitting it out of the park with these excellent videos. Even my wife is looking at them. I just hope she doesn't catch the watch bug, it'll cost us a fortune😂. These are very nice. I don't have a Baltany but they're on my list.

[barryvercueil]

Mmmmm i could go for a Guinness right now. Cheers.

Got both of these watches but with the superior SW200 movement

[gregtolley]

Beautiful, that amber brown looks amazing in sunlight. We are getting very close to the point where any serious maker needs quick release everything and on the fly bracelets.

Excellent review 👍. Thanks for showing the Baltany next to the Watchdives, wow the Baltany looked much better, dial, crystal, steel finishing! The brown dial on the brown leather strap looks superb 😎

[kingcold]

Octopus explorer 36 can be a good candidate too

[JohnSmith-qxll]

These exact dials on a slightly thinner case, with the Traska Sumiteer hardened coating & micro adjust bracelet would be perfection.

[miloscoopy]

The 200m water resist is a no brainer! Superb.

[AlexanderB.]

These are much better than the 39 mm. I fully agree about the bezel proportions. But brown isn't really my cup of tea and the only alternative is that matte black. I'd rather have a glossy jet black or at a least a black sunburst.

[BobMarley-pmxb]

Fine review John. I have the 39 mm tri-compax date model Baltany (looks like a 7750 layout) which I really like. Thanks

[bensynewsshoedown]

It's great that in its recent releases, Baltany responded to the feedback online (including your reviews) that a signed crown would be an improvement. Bravo!

[fredochinaski]

Love my chrono baltany, great discover...

[AnonYmous-ryjn]

Gorgeous review, just like the watch. I’ve seen many reviews, but yours finally sold me on this watch. Your appreciation (and superlative visual presentation) of details is, to use a phrase from your beautiful description, “second to none.” Spectacularly informative review.

[WristWatching]

Great to see a talking head section! Fantastic review as always, John. The size looks perfect on your wrist.
