Consistent with the brand’s aesthetic so far, the Baltic MR01 offers a well-designed and visually appealing dial. The inclusion of well-executed Breguet numerals is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, perfectly complementing the subtle grained dial. A seconds sub-dial sits at the 7’clock position, its circular graining providing a contrasting texture and contributing to the dial’s slightly off-centre aesthetic. In keeping with traditional watchmaking styles, the watch features a domed hesalite crystal, which adds a subtle distortion effect.

The MR01 collection ticks thanks to the Hangzhou 5000A, a self-winding mechanical movement equipped with a top-notch micro-rotor design. Its 30 jewels ensure smooth operation and minimise wear, while its 28,800 vibrations per hour guarantee precise timekeeping. When fully wound, the 42-hour power reserve keeps the watch ticking even if you take it off for a couple of days. You can admire the 30mm calibre through the display case of the MR01, gaining insight to a movement that blends the timeless aesthetic of a hand-wound watch with the modern ease of automatic winding.
