Baltany Dirty Dozen military watch | Retro done right!

Here's the review of the Baltany Dirty Dozen, a retro military watch nicely brought up to date with superb lume while retaining the most charming vintage elements: a small 36mm case and a beautiful vintage dial.
And remember that on the 19th of December I will be giving away a superb 37mm San Martin Explorer Homage! More details in the video below:

I bought one of these watches [different strap] in England several months ago: no complaints. Excellent value for money.

[@TheGrenadier97]

Love the classic field and fliegers. Practicality and simplicity done right, no-nonsenses.

[@angelherrera6820]

No frills, minimalist watch. Simple but stylish. Dial layout has been done well. The strap would need to be replaced for my wrist. The price is high but different manufacturers may not have the same buying power as other manufacturers. Baltany made a good one here. Great review. Cheers!

[@brianmsahin]

It's a very nice watch. Baltany has always been under my radar. I definitely should look at this brand more. Excellent review as always!

[@lightotaku4545]

Watching this as i'm wearing my Baltany D12 that arrived today xD

[@Horologique]

👍👍

[@jjakiefte2165]

I have the Baltany W10 tonneau shaped watch which is lovely. Might add this one to my collection. Good review again!

[@AlexanderB.]

Beautiful litte watch! This is how a dirty dozen homage is supposed to look. Not even the font used for the branding looks out of place! But as the case is already a little stubby I would prefer the watch on a two-piece rather than a two-pass strap.

[@Horologique]

You are right, on a vintage leather it would look amazing 👍

[@Bonpu]

Well, it comes in various strap options. Wearing mine on a vintage style strap.

[@VAPIDISM]

Thanks for the vid review. I have just ordered one with that NATO strap. The price certainly has come down since your video at least here in UK. Its £122 and bought with a £10 off voucher £112.

[@StefaanVdV1961]

Thank you for the generous give away and good luck to everyone 👍

[@rashidkamal6496]

Looks amazing 😍

[@dunderhay9169]

Good review 👍 . I really like that watch, I think the movement is worth it for the small seconds.

[@Horologique]

Thanks sir 👍

[@alexprendido2023]

Thanks for the video 👌

[@nintendokings]

Looks cool

[@tjwright]

I put my Baltany Dirty Dozen on an OD green canvas strap. It is up there in my collection as far as getting the most wrist time. I wear it constantly.

[@Horologique]

I'm glad you are enjoying it 👌. A wonderdul little timepiece for not a lot of money

[@MyAlan999]

Love how you say Baltany :) I do really like this watch , think the only thing i would change is the case back to an exhibition one to show the movement but that's not in keeping with the style ....hope to pick one up in the future

[@Horologique]

I didn't know I said it in a specific way 🤣. But thank you, and yes, it's a pretty watch 😁

[@manbrabees315]

Trop belle !

[@LymanPhillips]

I think more people need to give the measurements of the case. I like this watch. Thinking about it for the March sale!

[@johnmuthan286]

Pretty cool, get a leather bracelet and this NATO

[@stretoo]

I would be more into the Flieger due to price/movement ratio, not mentioning the nice looks

[@Getouttahere78]

Good looking watch Olivier, although it will mess my head a bit because I'm used to wearing my Casio Duro. It will look miniscule in comparison 🤣

[@Horologique]

Totally 😂. When you go from one to the other they will feel huge or minuscule 😂

[@johnmuthan286]

Nice little watch. Indeed the price is slightly high for my liking but have to acknowledge the execution of this somewhat standing from the crowd homage seems pretty well done. I actually hesitate between this model and its tonneau shape sister with brushed case and drilled lugs. What would you suggest?

[@Horologique]

The tonneau is cool as well but it's not period correct. I would go for this one, it's really retro done right 😉

[@stevenhershman2660]

If this model is to much cost the consider the quartz version. I believe it was 30% less.

[@Horologique]

Thank you for the tip 👍

[@Yasmin-tz3qz]

Nice watch, not a fan of the packaging though. I guess it works for the field/tactical/rugged look. Baltany is a brand I never heard of, I might look into their collection after this review.

[@Horologique]

I'm glad I motivated you to look into them 😊. They are a newer brand from the same makers of the Octopus watches I believe

[@BCallum]

I agree with others. Looks nice, well built, but too pricey.

[@loganj6203]

This is $150 and Militado D12 is $50 which one do you think I should buy one? it looks same and just the different is automatic and quartz

[@Horologique]

This is better quality but at that price difference I would go for the Militado to scratch that itch

[@loganj6203]

@@Horologique do you have experiences for both in your hand and do you see any difference?

[@reggiesdad8842]

I had to send mine back to the factory to be fixed under warranty.

[@ramspencer5492]

These don't really look that small on wrist .. people are used to wearing dinner plates... Not just as a character piece but at the standard, which doesn't look particularly elegant or in proportion with their bodies... .... It's good to have some smaller pieces

[@Horologique]

It is, that's why this one is a great option 👌

[@ramspencer5492]

@@Horologique totally agree

[@garmin1488]

They make nice looking watches, their movement choices are not the best though. Having said that I don't know of any other small second movements

[@Sifo_Dyas]

Too bad no American company makes one that looks as good as this. Hell no am I going to pay China for this.

[@Horologique]

Yes, that would be awesome of one did!

[@418emile]

Tu viens de me tuer, cette montre est dans mon panier depuis un moment déjà mais j'hésitais.... j'hésitais... Là je m'en vais l'acheter en terminant d'écrire. Maintenant il ne restera plus qu'une place dans ma boite a montre (10). A oui... la différence de prix ne serait pas due au superluminova plus que généreusement tartiné sur le cadran ?

[@dizen45]

belle montre mais çà sonne trop "balkany"

[@Horologique]

Tout à fait, mais rien de mauvais à ça, c'est très beau les Balkans 😁

[@donfoley1590]

Sapphire Glass ruins this watch. I have one, everything about it is great but for the glass. It should be Plexiglass like the original.
