Very pleased with this watch. As an ex member of the armed forces I remember high quality watches like this for service use. Don’t have any requirement for day/date or arty farty dials - just a plain... See more

Cancelled order
Ordered and paid for a watch with Black Friday discount applied. Four days later Baltany cancelled the order and refunded the money saying "I'm so sorry but the watch you ordered is out of stock, and we may not be able to get any more in". This is fine apart from the fact that the watch in question is still advertised with a lead time of 4 days, so apparently in stock and available. I have a sneaky feeling Baltany didn't want, or indeed need, to honour their Black Friday discount, but never mind there are lots of other watch vendors out there so no great problem. :)

Good Web site .Good delivery time and great Watch.
Perfect
You told me why you were going to do and you did it at the time and the prices quoted. That’s all one can ask for - perfect transaction for an excellent product.
Nice watch spoilt by poor bezel.
A really nicely finished watch , spoilt by the poor bezel action. Some lateral play and back play.
Very promt delivery..
Very promt delivery... the Watch was better than expected. Well done Baltany UK.
Baltany 'Khaki' Quartz Looky-Likey.
Delivery (from China) took the full 14 days, but the watch exceeds expectations of finish and accuracy.
So far, less than +1 sec after 18 days.
p.s.( i.e. a reply to your reply) You stated it would take 14 days when I ordered it, so I'm not complaining. I'm still delighted with the watch, which I regard as "A lot of watch for the money".

Great service from Baltany UK fast…
Great service from Baltany UK fast delivery of a great watch
Excellent overall
Excellent overall. The watch sizes are true to the originals and not oversized along with accurate vintage style dials and hand colours/designs. The only issue with Baltany I have is some of their watches have Chinese automatic movements which had they been Japanese movements I would certainly have put them on my 'must have' list.
I love the watch, However…
I love the watch, never had an automatic before and I can’t stop staring at it.
However it seems to be gaining time, it’s gaining 3 minutes every 2 weeks.
The automatic military field watch I…
The automatic military field watch I bought in 2023 would not wind up - it had to be shaken to start and would then stop within minutes if taken off for any reason. The watch was given as a present and the recipient didn't realise this was abnormal, but just stopped
using the watch as inconvenient. After
the guarantee had expired the fault was
recognised when someone with a similar watch saw the faulty one. Although the watch has an
unrecognised production fault Baltany
decline to repair it. Technically they are within their rights - but this is a great way to lose your customers..
Discoverer 36mm a reliable watch that is value for money
I bought a 36mm Explorer homage called a Discoverer about 2 years ago and have worn it much of the time since then. It looked and and felt good quality particularly for the price, initially it was running about -4 seconds a day but that has settled down to about -10 seconds a day, pretty good for what was a sub £200 watch. The leather strap still looks good as does the rest of the watch, I would recommend it.
Like the style of the watch but…
Like the style of the watch but luminous bits rather weak.
Had to chase for updates on delivery.
Delivered just within the 15 days but no updates were sent.

A good choice.
Choosing which watch to buy was the only difficulty part of the experience. I barely had to wait for it to arrive and as soon as I held the watch I knew Baltany was a good choice. Set to the right time and running so well it had to have been carefully regulated before being sent out. I've already added a 1921 to my wishlist.
Another great watch from baltany UK…

This watch is amazing!
The watch looks amazing (a homage to a luxury piece by one of the premium brands)
Great quality, a nice weight to it, and keeps very good time + 5 seconds a day. The packaging is very high end and gives a great unboxing experience. I highly recommend baltany and I’m sure I’ll be back for another watch as the quality/price ratio is unbeatable.
Excellent value watch
Excellent value watch. I chose Baltany, as I have been a lifelong Seiko watch collector and was drawn to the design having a Seiko movement. I am very happy with the quality. The timekeeping for an automatic is recommended. I would have no hesitation in buying another Baltany and have recommended them to friends and family.
Excellent watch excellet service
The watch is very nice and its manufacture is excellent (Explorer type), but what really impressed me is the service, I got an issue on the delivery, not related with Baltany, and they where always helpful and ready to assist, in special Yolanda.
Definetelly I reccomend them!
