Micro rotor movements usually live in watches costing thousands, yet Baltic puts one behind a salmon dial with Breguet numerals and a guilloche small seconds for well under €700. The 36mm case is under 10mm thick and slips under any shirt cuff, which is exactly how a dress watch should wear. Nothing else new at this price gives you this much traditional dress watch character, and the display back shows off the rotor.
A micro rotor automatic with a Calatrava style salmon dial for the price of a mass market dress watch.

What owners say
Owners on WatchUSeek rate the dial and proportions far above the price and praise Baltic's after sales service, with one owner reporting a free repair returned within two weeks. A widely read quality thread collected reports of low amplitude, a loose crystal and a watch stopping mid day, and one owner had the rotor detach after four months. Stock comes in batches, so waits are common.

Some figures could not be verified: Baltic now sells it as MR Classic. Calibre name conflicts (official CAL5000A, 2021 reviews ELA05MN). Crystal is hesalite per Baltic, though one review says sapphire. EUR price is Baltic's €545 pre tax figure plus 20% French VAT; lume and accuracy not published.
