Baltic HMS (HMS-01 / First Generation) – Automatic – Dark Blue – Glass Case Back – Microbrand – Full Set

Description

Baltic is one of the most popular independent microbrands in Europe and has secured a solid position in the collector scene through clear lines, high-quality materials, and a strong vintage character. Especially the early HMS-01 / First-Generation series is now considered a sought-after model series, as it is no longer available regularly and rarely appears in good condition online.

This specimen shows the typical, highly sought-after design of the first generation.
A dark blue dial with applied Arabic numerals, small seconds at 6 o'clock, and a classic 38mm case. The dial shifts between deep blue and almost black depending on the light, making it appear significantly more premium than its price range suggests.

Through the glass case back, the decorated automatic movement of the ST17 caliber family is visible (gold-plated rotor, blued screws).

I am parting with this watch with a heavy heart because I am reducing my collection. It has been worn but always carefully handled. The case, glass, and dial are in excellent condition; only the original leather strap shows clear signs of wear – typical and authentic for this model.
