It is my second Baltany watch, I love it very much, the watch has a super finish on case and bracelet. About Baltany, it seems to be a new homage brand created in 2021, but now their watches are being widely talked on the forums and reddit. I do not know why many people like me just want to collect homage watches, some even own more than ten pieces, this is a big money, which you can use on a Swiss watch. Well, the homage storm in China was brought up by Parnis several years ago, now there are a lot of brands in China manufacturing these watches, I think the main reason why you guys like to buy them is they have cheap prices. For this Baltany, it is an exact homage of the Rolex Explorer, and sold less than $150.
I know this brand comes from Dongguan city in Guangdong of China, the watch has a 39mm case that not include the crown, the watch thickness is less than 13mm, the manufacturer offers two dial options, amber red and black, the movement also has two options, NH38 and SW200, I chose the one with amber red dial and NH38 movement.
I like its finish on the case and bracelet, its dial color and design as well as the movement. The case is brushed, so are the links on both sides of the bracelet, which forms a high contrast outlook with the polished round bezel and middle links of the bracelet. The crystal face is domed sapphire, not only has a high resistance to scratches, but also adds some vintage flavor to this watch, however, I do not like this sapphire crystal, it stands too high above the bezel and increases the thickness of the entire watch. The dial uses amber red color, which is element that makes the watch look a bit vintage. The green lume light emitting from the hour markers and hands is too strong. The movement is NH38 automatic, it is from Japan and most importantly, this movement has the stop seconds feature, the power reserve is also up to 41 hours. For the SW200 option, I think there is no need to pick up a Swiss movement for this homage watch.
