Nodus Contrail GMT and Baltic x Tour Auto Chronograph

[DocHollidayDDS]

A couple of interesting new watches made their debuts today:

The third generation of the Nodus Contrail, this one a Miyota 9075-powered GMT reasonably priced at $825.

And a limited edition chronograph from Baltic to commemorate their second year as an official timekeeper of the Tour Auto racing event in France.

I’d jump on this gorgeous Baltic in a heartbeat if it was priced a bit higher than their standard tricompax models, but they include a rally timer in this limited edition set which pushes the price north of $2k which is a bit more than I like to spend on a microbrand. Wonder how easy it would be to sell the rally timer on the secondary market?

Not a fan of Nodus design in general, but this one looks good.

I think both of these look fantastic. Tons of mediocre microbrands to wade through, but these stand out.

Looks like a grand seiko spring drive I had years ago.

Whoa nice ones James, the Contrail GMT couldn’t be more beautiful with
the design as well as dial colors. And so many people are always wanting
to find a good GMT option, so these are it ! Then the Baltic takes
a terrific classic style, and supercharges it honestly. ..That’s off the charts
awesome as well !

Want to thank you for the news !!!
