Looks like the Portugieser in 35mm. Lovely.

New collection release from Baltic, one of the Internet's darling microbrands. They are... not attractive... in my opinion.

Love Baltic’s work but this isn’t doing anything for me either.

I get the intent, but the execution . . .

One of their challenges is that they are trying to branch out and make new watches like this but they only have a few (one?) cases they use for all of these watches. I understand the reason why they are constrained in this manner, but this looks like an attempt to create a version of the AT shades watch based on what they had for cases and movements available to them.

You may be right. The baffling thing to me are the hour markers. The salmon/bronze and blue/gray dials might be nice with something other than the weird stud hour markers. They remind me of the suburban Hot Topic "punk rock" belts:

Well, at a glance the mesh bracelet looks pretty nice. If only they made one in purp...oh, wait.

*And I actually like Baltic, for what they are.

Which brings me to the lug width. 20 mm lug width for a 36 mm case. I have a different Baltic watch with the same case and having a 20 mm strap on a 36 mm case is definitely one of my complaints about it.

From Baltic, I’d like to see one of these with a black face. They have a special edition with that but it has a black coating on the case that kills the look.

I like that actually, kind of a Calatrava feel. I wouldn't want every 36mm watch to be this way...but I think its neat on these.
