The story behind this Baltic MR01
Baltic explores classic watchmaking traditions with the MR01 Black. The name of this timepiece refers to the micro-rotor, a design historically developed by haute horlogerie to refine the profile of automatic movements. Drawing inspiration from the dress watches of the 1930s, the brand offers a clean, legible design. The choice of an off-centre seconds sub-dial lends the dial an asymmetrical look. This model is ideal for enthusiasts seeking an interesting mechanical movement in a compact format.
Case, calibre and strap of this MR01
The stainless steel case measures 36 mm in diameter. The stepped bezel features a brushed finish on its upper surface and polished sides. Beneath the domed Hesalite crystal, the anthracite dial reveals a grained texture in the centre and a circular brushed finish on the hour ring. The Breguet-style applied numerals ensure clear time-reading. The sapphire crystal caseback offers a view of the Hangzhou 5000A automatic movement, fitted with 30 jewels and offering a 42-hour power reserve. A grey calfskin strap with a pin buckle completes the look.
