Baltic MR01, Bicompax 002 and HMS 002 in Gold PVD

Baltic introduces new MR01, Bicompax 002 and HMS 002 Gold PVD, three watches with unique contrasts, featuring a steel case with a gold PVD coating, a transparent caseback and redesigned dial finishes.

MR01 - An elegant 36mm case

The lines of the MR01 are pure, sober and elegant. The gold PVD-coated steel case is 36mm in diameter and features polished finishes on the bezel and lugs. The 44mm side is horizontally brushed, bringing a balanced contrast to the whole watch.

Powered by micro-rotor

The MR01 is powered by an automatic movement with a micro-rotor. The transparent case back and the oscillating weight placed on the same level as the rest of the components allow the heart of the watch to be revealed in its entirety and offer a breathtaking view of the gears in action.

An ultra-thin profile of 9,90 mm

The micro-rotor integrated in the height of the movement gives the MR01 an ultra-thin and elegant profile of 9,9mm (8mm without glass).

Interpretation of the classic dress watch

This model is the result of our interpretation of classic dress watches. The use of Breguet appliques adds a singular touch and contrasts with the dial's glossy finish. The time is displayed by polished leaf-shaped hour and minute hands. The seconds counter is off-center at 7 o'clock and has a guilloche finish, allowing it to stand out from the rest of the dial and offering a modern and original touch.


Bicompax 002 - 38mm

The Bicompax 002 is a dressy chronograph that harmoniously blends modernity with the codes of the past. Inspired by the 1940s, its 38mm-diameter "step case" is made of a single piece of stainless steel with gold PVD coating and plays superbly with the light thanks to its different finishes: horizontal brushed along the case middle, circular on the lugs and a polished bezel.

Bicompax 002

The dial of the Bicompax 002 reveals a harmonious blend of 1940s vintage style and art-deco influences, offering a different aesthetic to its predecessor, the Bicompax 001. Sober and uncluttered, it features a brushed sector on which the hour-markers and two subdials with azurage finish are positioned. The rest of the dial has a glossy finish, adding a subtle contrast to the overall effect. The leaf-shaped hour and minute hands have an elegant, tapering silhouette that completes the watch's dressy character.

A manual movement offering 42h of power reserve

All the models in our Bicompax collection are equipped with the ST1901 calibre, a hand-wound mechanical chronograph movement developed by the Seagull Manufacture. It has a 42-hour power reserve and can time up to 30 minutes. The Bicompax 002 Gold PVD is available with an open caseback offering an unobstructed view of this column-wheel calibre.

A slim and elegant 13mm profile

Made of an acrylic glass and a 316L steel case, the Bicompax 002 offers a slim, elegant 13mm profile (10mm without glass) and 47mm from lug to lug. These dimensions and materials offer unrivalled comfort and presence.


HMS 002 - A 38mm step case

The HMS 002 is a dressy three-hand watch that harmoniously blends modernity with the codes of the past. Inspired by the 1940s, its 38mm-diameter "step case" is made of a single piece of stainless steel with gold PVD coating and plays superbly with light thanks to its different finishes: horizontal brushed along the case middle, circular on the lugs and a polished bezel.

A dial with an “Art-Deco” spirit

The dial of the HMS 002 reveals a harmonious blend of 1940s vintage style and art-deco influences, offering a different aesthetic to its predecessor, the HMS 001. Sober and uncluttered, it features a brushed sector on which the hour-markers are positioned. The rest of the dial has a glossy finish, adding a subtle contrast to the overall effect. The leaf-shaped hour and minute hands have an elegant, tapering silhouette that completes the watch's dressy character.

An automatic movement offering 60h of power reserve

All the models in our HMS collection are equipped with the 8315 automatic movement, designed in Japan by the Miyota manufacture. Offering 60 hours of power reserve, it is renowned for its resistance, robustness and reliability. The HMS 002 Gold PVD is available with an open caseback offering an unobstructed view of the calibre.

A slim and elegant 13mm profile

Made of an acrylic glass and a 316L steel case, the HMS 002 offers a slim, elegant 13mm profile (10mm without glass) and 47mm from lug to lug. These dimensions and materials offer unrivalled comfort and presence.
