Baltic has again proven why it remains a powerhouse among microbrands with the release of the Hermétique Tourer Bronze. Eschewing gimmicks and embracing timeless design, this latest offering combines vintage aesthetics with a sophisticated bronze case built to develop a unique patina over time.
Its 37mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug dimensions, and 10.8mm thickness deliver a sleek profile, making it versatile for any wrist size. The CuAl8 bronze alloy offers corrosion resistance and brings a warm golden hue that could easily be mistaken for gold if polished to a shine.
While the case leans dressy with its polished bezel and brushed lugs, the dial balances sporty functionality and Art Deco charm. The dials in blue, green, and brown fumé gradients feature luminous syringe hands, a lollipop seconds marker, and bold hour markers powered by Swiss Super-LumiNova. The segmented chapter ring adds depth and elegance, making it ideal for day-to-night transitions. Paired with a color-coordinated FKM rubber Tropic strap, the Hermétique Tourer remains practical for swimming and hot climates but adaptable for more formal occasions.
Powered by the Miyota 9039 automatic movement, the watch offers a smooth 4Hz sweep, a 42-hour power reserve, and robust reliability. Priced at $630, the Hermétique Tourer Bronze is a standout choice for anyone seeking a blend of vintage allure, modern performance, and excellent value.
