If you noticed a change in the audio from the last few videos, that's because I've switched back to my older mic. As I couldn't seem to fix some of the popping issues people said they could hear in the last few videos. So, for now at least I'll be using this one again.
After watching your review a couple of times, I have just bought this watch. I’ve been looking for a good looking and well made 39mm WWII styled field watch for a while and thanks to your review I have found the one I want.
I've had one of these for about 6 weeks now. It's flawless; sub-dial seconds hand hits the marks spot on around the dial, zero dust/debris under the crystal, I lucked out with mine being +3 sec/month. It wears very well and looks a lot more expensive than it is.
i like this version better,brass finish, better hands and dimensions,the price is a bit high 150 euros but all the decent ali brands raise their prices lately.Nice presentasion man thanks.
This is a very watch with some attention to detail. It may be luck of the draw but but it's nice to see the small second hand hit most of the markers. The crown may not be signed but it has a cool circular brushing to it. Baltany is a brand deserving credit for doing most things right. Quartz or automatic the both have their merits. As the autos have low end non-hackable Seagull movements I believe I would tend towards the quartz that also allow for thinner cases, they're more reliable and don't look offensive at all with the small second subdials.
I ordered the same quartz. The fact is that I had a rather expensive mechanical Steinhart watch and they fell and began to work badly. The master said that the repair will cost more than half the cost of the watch! Then they need to be maintained every five years. The mechanic is more whimsical. So I decided that the principle I had bought and forgot» is for me. Quartz is not whimsical and more accurate. It does not need to be started every day.
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR It's the same hands as this 39 version. With that seconds sub dial I think quartz is a good alternative for this kind of watch.
Very nice design, well balanced, and we can enjoy the usual built quality. I think however it might be a little expensive for a quartz, but then again Baltany has become the AE reference when it comes to military inspired watches.
It's on the higher end, when it comes to quartz AliExpress watches. But I think given the great lume, sapphire crystal etc it justifies it's price though.
I bought a 36mm based on your review few months ago. Could you do a quick reel showing 36 and 39mm side by side? Seeing color difference would be much appreciated as your 39mm face seems blueish.
Wonder how many "dirty dozen"/field/military/3hands/wtf Baltany has.... guess many more to come too! Cheers James, thanks for the review, be well mate.
They do have quite a few now mate. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing an automatic version of this one soon. Thanks for watching and commenting as always. Take care.
Hi, the quality of the watch is really good. As with all Baltanys. The strap I have with mine seems to have been changed. But they are pretty good quality though.
I think given the great lume, sapphire crystal etc I think it justifies it's price. When it comes to AR that's always something AliExpress watches could do with more off. But this one isn't too bad.
Quartz... not worth a penny imo, as a watch collector these field watches where all mechanical and or automatic and its only truly honored by respecting that. Also the Quartz movement is dirt cheap, the rest of the materials and labour costs of this Chinese watch is around $10 a piece so a true ripoff

I'm glad the video was helpful. I hope you enjoy the watch when it arrives. Did you use my affiliate link by any chance when you ordered it? 😉
Baltany just released a chronograph. Model S205033. Cannot wait to see it being reviewed. Looks stunning on pictures.

That's great to hear. I'm glad you're enjoying yours.
Do they come with AR coating?
@@PeterM-PeterM Yes, and quite decent AR at that.
Beautiful watch! This is an almost perfect watch for my sensibilities. Baltany are have been delivering some great watches recently
Cheers!
They are on a roll at the moment.
Thanks for watching.
Love what Baltany are doing. I have the quartz version which will be reviewed shortly. Nice review.
Yeah I love what Baltany are doing. Cheers.
You would only buy 36 mm auto because of size....with sub hand on seconds for 39 mm rather have quartz
i like this version better,brass finish, better hands and dimensions,the price is a bit high 150 euros but all the decent ali brands raise their prices lately.Nice presentasion man thanks.
Like I said in the video, I'm leaning that way too. I'd love to see them do an automatic version of this next.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
I do like a field watch. Their overall simplicity Meeks them elegant, simple, and highly legible. Another great video.
I totally agree. Thanks mate.

I have a larger wrist, so i would take a larger diameter and a quartz vs a smaller watch with an auto
Thanks for the review. I have the 36mm quartz version on the way.
Thanks. Does that have the same hands as this one or the 36mm automatic?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR It's the same hands as this 39 version. With that seconds sub dial I think quartz is a good alternative for this kind of watch.
@@AndreasDingstad Yeah I agree.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Maybe at this price point you'd rather get a high end quartz than an entry level automatic, why not.
@@durandsimon5221 That is the question isn't it?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Pretty much yeah.
I purchased this watch and very pleased with it as my daily beater
I'm glad to hear it.

Yeah I can do that.
Great review, but I want it all, 39mm automatic!!
Perhaps they'll end up releasing that next.
Very nice, cool vintage vibe and a decent size.
That's what Baltany does best.
I like this 39mm with brushed stainless instead of the bead blasted stainless in the 36mm.
After trying out both, I think I prefer the size and finish of this one too.
Wonder how many "dirty dozen"/field/military/3hands/wtf Baltany has.... guess many more to come too!
Cheers James, thanks for the review, be well mate.
They do have quite a few now mate. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing an automatic version of this one soon.
Thanks for watching and commenting as always. Take care.
I prefer the numerals on the 39mm ,they should release a 39mm without the small seconds
I wouldn't be surprised if they do at some point.
36 mm too small for me but this looks great.
Thanks JAMES
Thanks for watching mate.
Lovely design except I don't like the glass being domed, in some pics it looks concave but it's actually convex
Amazing review.
Thank you very much.
Good review, another vote for this size with an automatic movement 👍
Thanks I'm glad you liked it.
Tanks for yours reviews. Is the blue model, or black ?
This is the black one.
Hi,
What is the quality of the watch and the leather strap?
Greetings Mario
Hi, the quality of the watch is really good. As with all Baltanys. The strap I have with mine seems to have been changed. But they are pretty good quality though.
Did you showcase the black or the dark blue? I can't tell.
Hi,
hits the second hand
exactly the indices?
Greetings
i'm like it,
come on baltany,open counter in Indonesia, at jakarta
Simply good
Yep.
The specs on Aliexpress says a lug width of 18mm, not 20mm. Can you confirm?
can you do a teardown watch of baltany?
A bit expensive for a quartz watch without AR coating but looks good
I think given the great lume, sapphire crystal etc I think it justifies it's price. When it comes to AR that's always something AliExpress watches could do with more off. But this one isn't too bad.
So much value in this watch. I'd take it over the 36mm.
It is pretty good value for money.
Здравствуйте. Эти часы лучше San Martin 37 Ronda 6004 ? По качеству изготовления ?
is this watch water resistant? if so, how many bars?
Yes, according to the listing it's 200m water resistant.
What battery number does it use?
Can't get much more accurate if you're looking for Joel's watch from the Last of Us 1

@@milanzivkovic7488 Oh ok. Fair enough. No problem mate.
A no nonsense daily beater. The watch looks powerful because of the fat hands
Yeah absolutely.
Can I swim with this watch?
I wouldn't as it's not a diver. Plus it's on leather too.
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR But producer declares 100 meters under water
@@pavloSemenoFF I guess if you swapped the strap you might be alright to get it a bit wet.
