Baltic X A Collected Man MR01 Blue Roulette (Specs & Price)
Talking about a success story, the Baltic MR01 has recently been one of the most discussed and sought-after models on the micro-brand scene. And rightfully so, as with its Calatrava-styled case, its thin micro-rotor movement, its charm-packed vintage design and its accessible price, there was a lot to love… so much that the watch is still in shortage a year after its release. But today is your chance to get one. And not a standard one, but a super-cool limited edition with a vintage roulette-styled, Patek-inspired dial, paying tribute to the early Calatrava 96 story. Be aware (and fast), I’m pretty sure there won’t be enough of these MR01 Blue Roulette for A Collected Man.?Everything in the Baltic X A Collected Man MR01 Blue Roulette screams 1930s/1940s Calatrava, but with the right dosage of modernity to make it cool on the wrist in 2022.

We may love for its serious and highly qualitative creations, Tudor ( ’s sister company) created some interesting, affordable, very well finished and mainly, really cool watches recently – such as the Heritage Black Bay Blue, the Heritage Ranger or the Heritage Chrono. Thus, there was no reason for us not to try to predict what could be the Tudor 2015 new models, the watches that Tudor could introduce at Baselworld 2015. We did it for this year, we did it for Tudor last year, and we are doing?it again now.Last year, just like we did for and Omega, we tried to guess the watches that Tudor could introduce at the Basel watch fair. We imagined a Black Bay with a black bezel and dial and we also imagined a Pelagos with blue dial and bezel. Tudor came at Baselworld with the?Heritage Black Bay equipped with a superb midnight blue bezel insert and a cleaner dial. We had?the right colour, we had the right watc

What do we know about Roger Dubuis? Well, to make it short, Roger Dubuis is a proper?manufacture of Haute Horlogerie, creating extremely refined skeleton movements, and being the only brand to have its entire production stamped with the Hallmark of Geneva (and that alone must already give an indication of the beauty of the production…).
