What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Baltic HMS 002

The Baltic HMS 002 is widely praised for its attractive sector dial design and stepped case with varied finishes. Reviewers and owners highlight the acrylic crystal for its softer dial appearance and the watch's refined finishing. Its value is frequently noted as exceptional, with a price around €435.60. Some reviewers find the dial design overly intricate, and one dislikes the white seconds hand. The Miyota 8315 automatic movement is standard for the price point, offering a 60-hour power reserve but featuring a ghost date position and accuracy rated at -20/+40 seconds per day. Overall, the Baltic HMS 002 is highly regarded for its design and value, with the sector dial being a key draw.

Baltic HMS 003

The Baltic HMS 003 is widely praised for its vintage charm, featuring a three-dimensional sector dial with a deep blue and gilt color scheme, heat-treated blue hands, and varied textures. Owners and reviewers highlight its 36.5mm case size, high-dome crystal, and Beads of Rice bracelet as particularly appealing. The Miyota 8315 automatic movement provides a 60-hour power reserve and stop-seconds function. One owner notes the domed hesalite crystal is prone to scratching. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Baltic HMS 003 highly for its unbelievably gorgeous design and vintage aesthetic at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Baltic HMS 003's downsized case to 36.5mm is a significant strength, making it a genuinely vintage-sized watch. A notable trade-off is the relatively thin lume on the watch, which is 'not the brightest' but still functional. Reviewers disagree on the watch's overall build quality, with one reviewer stating it has "better finishing" than the previous model, while another reviewer notes that specific details about the watch's finishing, indexes, or overall build quality are not mentioned.
