Blending heritage with innovation, Baltic’s HMS 002 collection captures the essence of classic watchmaking while incorporating modern advancements. Each piece utilizes contemporary materials and movement, showcasing the unique marriage of history and modernity Baltic has become known for.
The HMS 002 dress watches feature a classic “stepped” case design, reminiscent of 1940s timepieces – a period that has heavily influenced Baltic’s creations so far. The case is crafted from a single piece of stainless steel for added durability and a seamless design. For a look that suits your taste, the HMS 002 comes in various choices: Silver, Black (with either gold or silver markings) or Blue dial, each paired with a strap that complements the dial.
The HMS 002 strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. Its brushed 38mm case flows seamlessly into beautifully tapered lugs, creating a sophisticated yet utilitarian structure. At 47mm lug-to-lug and a mere 13mm thick, this watch sits comfortably on wrists of all sizes. Despite its dress watch aesthetic, it boasts 50-meter water resistance for everyday wearability. Additionally, the domed hesalite crystal adds a touch of vintage charm and provides good scratch resistance.
Baltic HMS 002 HIGHLIGHTS
SECTOR DIAL STEALS THE SHOW
The Baltic HMS 002’s dial isn’t just functional, it’s a visual treat. Featuring a brushed sector with printed Arabic numerals, the timepiece offers a clean and stylish look that draws inspiration from 1940s vintage and Art Deco design. The dial plays with textures beautifully for visual interest, as the remaining surface boasts a smooth, matte sandblasted finish. This combination is further enhanced by elegant leaf-shaped hands and a slender seconds hand, all contributing to the watch’s vintage charm.
INNER WORKINGS
The HMS 002 collection might not feature the most extravagant movement, but the automatic Miyota 8315 inside is a proven performer. It delivers both consistent timekeeping and a long-lasting 60-hour power reserve, making it a reliable and practical choice for everyday wear. For the HMS 002, Baltic offers two caseback options: a closed one with the brand's engraved logo or a see-through back on the Gold PVD model that showcases the movement for a more refined experience.
