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

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 wat... See more

Dirty Dozen homage

I loved the look of the dirty dozen style homage and after seeing many other watch collectors on my insta feeds, had to pull the trigger.
Watch is great quality and well made with a fabulous price point....

Great and evolving

I have 3 baltany watches in my collection now, and I think they have been very good. One thing on the GMT world city bezel watch. It's really good, although there is not a gap between the "New York". However the capped second hand is brilliant. The 24hr field watch is brilliant and my retro red/blue GMT is my favourite. Nobody has made it better than baltany on that one. Their GMT bezel being bi-directional make's all the difference and they turn just right. I'm looking at their evolving business with great interest, as I mentioned on my videos.

The description didn't match the product. It is not the first time I have had the misfortune to buy from you to and this has happened. It description of the product clearly stated the watch was fluorescent (the dial and figures), and they clearly are not. Very unimpressed is an understatement, I'm truly sorry to say.

Hi Stephen - I'm sorry if you're unhappy with the watch. The dials are painted with lume, and after charging under UV light should glow after dark.

If you'd like to return the watch, we can open a return for you.

Baltany Explorer 39mm wine red.

Baltany Explorer 39mm wine red.

Had mine delivered today. Best watch l've ever had, and I have watches that cost 8-10x this.
Incredible attention to detail, screwed pins, heavy classy bracelet, great sapphire crystal, superb packaging and lovely clasp. 10/10 for the price. You have to get one of these to understand just how good they look v the pics on the website.

It is a beautiful watch.

It is a beautiful watch.
Obviously a Hamilton Khaki Field homage, but really nice and seems to be a quality one. Time will say how good it is. I didn't open it, so I can hope only there is an original Seiko movement inside, but nice to wear it, and so far it is pretty much accurate.

I am extremely impressed

I am extremely impressed with this watch. I love its overall look and the quality feel it has. The face is remarkably clean, and the double-arched sapphire glass gives me confidence about scratch resistance. The anti-reflective coating is also effective at minimizing glare on the dial.

I was initially considering a Hamilton field quartz watch, but I'm certain I made the right choice by going with the Baltany. The Seiko movement is incredibly reliable and performs just as well as any Swiss quartz movement. The 200m water resistance is also a great feature, offering peace of mind, especially since most field watches, including much more expensive ones from well-known brands, typically only offer 50m.

The quartz movement suits me perfectly as I have a larger watch collection and appreciate the convenience of a grab-and-go timepiece. Additionally, the 36mm size is a fantastic fit for my 6-inch wrist. I've paired it with a 1973 British military NATO strap, which really enhances the "Dirty Dozen" aesthetic.
