I just love this watch. I have about 30 watches and this one went to the top of the heap regardless of price. If I were still in military service this would be my service watch. Buy it, you'll love it!
Thanks for the review. Baltany are making great watches. Love the bead blasted cases instead of the polished sides so many use. They are definitely a step up from certain other Chinese makes.. This model is very good also the layout is spot on.
Great review 👍 . Another watch I really like, as you say too many Baltany watches are 36mm, so this being 39 is perfect and a mecha quartz with running seconds instead of the daft 24 dial is the perfect chrono movement 😎
I agree with your only nit. I would love to see the hands all white instead of chromed - e.g. like the Bulova Lunar Pilot, the most legible watch I've seen. I'd pay more for it, even.
i only have 3 complaints, 1: i'd like more colorway options, 2: i want a date complication and 3: i want it on my arm NOW. LOL I can absolutely live without those first two because it's a really nice piece as is. The 39mm size is much appreciated as is the VK61. Baltany has become a favorite on my Ali's watch tier list, they have a great blend of quality, features, function and price IMHO.
I was very taken by this watch and was looking for it on Aliexpress, especialy for the 11/11 sale, but it looks like it has been completely pulled from their line up. Dang!!
Yeah I feel the same about the hands design. I prefer a more modern style with black and lume, or white paint and lume would also work. In the macro shots the finishing quality of the hands does look really good. But I like this watch a lot and I might order one to replace my basic Flieger dial watch. I use my dive watch for timing many things, and I'd like to try a Chronograph
I was waiting for you to get around to this one I remember about a month ago or so you said you were getting one in. Nice! Curious do you know what kind of battery it is? Also wondering if after 60 minutes the chronograph automatically stops and resets itself like my Citizen Eco drive chronograph or is it like my Alpina quartz chronograph where it will keep running forever and draining the battery
A nice well finished watch. It looks like you have a large wrist like me? I have an 8 inch wrist so I also wouldn't go for a 36mm case size. Anyway, good video!
You would need to contact the store it is from. I don't think it's mentioned because it's not really listed anywhere. Best to assume you have to pay shipping it to China....which for the US should be about $25
Another great review Steve, on a watch that is probably better than the original... at least in price and lume! 😋(and it's quartz, ie works fine... almost always!) But i'd like to tease once more the analog-chrono guys, especially when they get these screw(it!) pushers. Do you ever use them? How long does it take to do so? Can you measure time in exactitude...ever? I get it, dials "look full", but other than that, almost noone uses them. If you get pushers like this, i doubt at all... Oh, and you increase the chance to get caught on something...x3!!!! For me all these are an easy "pass!", happy for y'all, i'll keep my cheap digital ones (with my milliseconds!😜), guys ... ta-ta! Cheers mate, be well.
yeah, I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of the chrono function, but I still like knowing it's there. Probably just use it from time to time (pun intended) for random stuff, but nothing really important. probably the most important thing would be timing food on the grill :)
was thinking about this. Looks incredible. But price to Europe is actually 198eur, because you don't see import taxes in the US :D Still a great watch.
I really like your reviews. However I find the reflection of your overhead light distracting (a bar of light across the face of the watches). Perhaps a different light source.
@@GrumpyBloger it's pretty easy to tell what movement they are using. Certain movements act, behave, and feel a certain way. Nobody is cloning a $4 VK 63 or a $15 NH35. I'll check the movement if something feels off.
Promoting a small YTer is good and all but don't stop doing your own b-rolls. Cause the b-roll alone might steal subscribers from you. That was incredible.
@@EscapeWheel that's more like it. I subbed to your channel cause your videos are crystal clear. I bought Tandorio 39mm and Addiedive quartz after watching primarily your reviews. Sunlight is the way to go. Artificial lighting or no effort in lighting just doesn’t cut it anymore. My only complaint would be the gloves are a bit dirty. Cloth gloves are dirt magnet and hard to make clean white. Maybe use latex or other rubbery glove.
Rip off price for a chinese made quartz watch. Which baltany have go do since they've been banned from using dandong 7750's an st19xx's. Baltany is owned by a aliexpress shill watch reviewer with 2 channels

Was anxiously waiting for a review of this. It’s gonna be a hit, no doubt about it.
Indeed. It's a good one.
Such a versatile watch! Real strap monster. I have one of these on the way, can't wait to get it in hand
Nice! Can't wait to see your review 👊
Nice and detailed review as usual. Great job ,Steve. I think this is a gorgeous piece indeed.
Thank you, Sir. I appreciate it

Thanks for watching! It's a great watch with strong military vibes indeed 👍
I agree about making the hands white - but I still love it.
indeed. not bad at all as it is.
Thanks for the review. Baltany are making great watches. Love the bead blasted cases instead of the polished sides so many use. They are definitely a step up from certain other Chinese makes.. This model is very good also the layout is spot on.
Yeah, Baltany is kind of killing it this year. Love what they are doing.
Great review Steve. Wow that is a looker!
Thanks, Matt!
Terrific review Steve. This is an excellent tool watch. Really like this one, great find my friend 👍👏
thanks! glad I could bring it to your attention. we need more true tool watches.
Love this watch, it looks really well made. A real bargain. Great review.
Thanks. Appreciate you tuning into the channel
Great video! Bond NATO strap,(black with olive and red stripes). Sick watch, dude.
Thanks, man! That would be a sweet combo for sure
Great review with a great watch. I need to get a Baltany watch, really nice design and craftsmanshio.
They are so well made,. You'll be happy with any one you get
I don't have a chronograph or a mecha-quartz in my collection, so I need to get one of these :) Great review!
Thank you....every collection needs one!
Love the crown size, I wish the pusher had red underneath to remind you not to get in the water before screwing them down.
oh, the red could be a nice touch for sure. good idea.
Any DIY maybe? Some masking tape and a spray would do the job, easy peasy... (guess it's an easy fix for many!... even main crowns!!!)
Great review 👍 . Another watch I really like, as you say too many Baltany watches are 36mm, so this being 39 is perfect and a mecha quartz with running seconds instead of the daft 24 dial is the perfect chrono movement 😎
I wasn't sure how I would like the vertical setup of the dials, but I really do like it.
I agree with your only nit. I would love to see the hands all white instead of chromed - e.g. like the Bulova Lunar Pilot, the most legible watch I've seen. I'd pay more for it, even.
Yup, those white on black setups are my weakness 🤣
What a super piece. I have to have one!
Hmm... I once glued a ceramic bezel onto a no bezel watch. This might look good with a green ceramic bezel like the Longines Spirit Zulu GMT.

I agree with your views on Baltany...really excited to see what they bring to the table next!
This is a really good looking watch... And the color combo is beautiful
I agree! Thanks for watching!
@@EscapeWheel of course anything that helps❤️

Just out of stock. Hopefully it comes back soon 🤞🤞

It’s back in stock btw, just ordered one ahaha

Battery size is 394
the chronograph will stop after an hour which is nice.
A nice well finished watch. It looks like you have a large wrist like me? I have an 8 inch wrist so I also wouldn't go for a 36mm case size. Anyway, good video!
yup, 7.5" or so. I can pull off the 36mm watches, but they either need to be very retro styled, or have a bracelet to look somewhat OK on my.
I hope they do matte hands on this
Yeah, v2 with painted white or even brushed hands would be killer
That's a great looking Baltany
How do you claim warranty? Warranty where I come from doesn’t cost anything, do you have to pay to send it? Why doesn’t anyone mention this?

Wouldn't the bead blast finish come off easily?
I've used this as a beater watch and it's held up wonderfully so far
I have a black rayskin strap on the way for mine, I think it will be stunning.
Should look awesome!
was thinking about this. Looks incredible. But price to Europe is actually 198eur, because you don't see import taxes in the US :D Still a great watch.
Yeah, thankfully we only deal with our normal state taxes (7% for me). Close to $200 would be a tough sell on this, as good as it is.
190 EUR to Romania, actually, but it’s in my cart, patiently waiting for 11.11.
All imports to Norway are 25%, plus they want like 10usd for the import handling, it's wild
@Harry Balls Right and left are the same here, the right made it worse when they came to power haha
Looks much nicer than the Hamilton which is three times the price
Dude you seem to have left Rmalti rm006 in the thumbnail
Well, shoot....lol. need to fix that
Quartz??
Yes
Such a great looking watch
I agree
I really like your reviews. However I find the reflection of your overhead light distracting (a bar of light across the face of the watches). Perhaps a different light source.
I have tried others and they all look worse. Maybe an actual light box would be best
Is this an original design or are they homaging another watch?
Some Hamilton's kinda look like this. But typically not with a bead blasted case. I haven't seen a direct 1:1 watch out there.
Looks very similar to the Hamilton Khaki Field chronograph. The one that’s on the bung strap.
cette montre est vraiment extraordinaire de bon gout et de simplicité , je viens de la commander !!!
Nice! Enjoy it!
@@EscapeWheel il y a les montres pour collection et celle a vivre ......

That would have been nice
Look nice

It's not a full review because you didn't open this watch and didn't show us the movement.
I'm not going to open up every way I get. especially a Seiko VK quartz movement.
@@EscapeWheel So just don't say your review is full.
