Baltic Takes its Hermétique to Iceland with The Rift
Baltic Watches has released the Hermétique The Rift, a new timepiece available in 34mm and 37mm sizes. The watch features a volcanic-inspired dial design and is powered by a Miyota 9039 automatic movement.
Why it matters
This release represents a trend in the luxury watch market toward more compact, utilitarian designs with unique aesthetic inspirations.
The Hermétique The Rift is available in two sizes, the classic and already known 37mm , as well as a new, more compact 34mm size. Both cases are made from fully brushed 316L stainless steel and measure 10.8mm thick, including the double-domed sapphire crystal, or 8.3mm without it. The polished bezel brings a small contrast to the otherwise utilitarian finish. The integrated crown allows the watch to be worn comfortably on either the left or right wrist. The lug-to-lug measurements are 42.5mm for the 34mm version and 46mm for the 37mm watch. Water resistance is rated at 150m.
