Baltic has introduced the Hermétique Dual Time Enduropale Edition, a limited-edition watch celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Enduropale du Touquet-Pas-de-Calais, a legendary motocross endurance race. This model builds on the success of the original Hermétique Tourer, adding an internal rotating bezel and a vibrant colour scheme inspired by 1990s motocross bikes. Limited to 200 pieces, the watch combines vintage design cues with modern functionality.

The 37mm stainless steel case retains the classic proportions of the Hermétique line, with a 10.8mm thickness and 46mm lug-to-lug distance. The case features recessed crowns at 3 and 9 o’clock, the latter controlling the internal bidirectional bezel. A double-domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the case is rated for 150m water resistance, making it suitable for both racing and everyday wear.

The design pays homage to the Enduropale race, with a matte grey dial and turquoise green accents on the minute hand, internal bezel, and strap. The internal bezel is marked with a three-hour scale, reflecting the duration of the race. The final hour is highlighted in purple, fading into a checkered pattern reminiscent of the Enduropale logo.

The dial features applied hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9 for improved legibility. The internal bezel adds functionality, allowing wearers to track a second time zone or time the race. The bezel’s green and purple colour coding is a nod to the Enduropale event, while the overall design maintains the Hermétique’s vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Powering the watch is the Miyota 9039 automatic movement, known for its reliability and simplicity. The movement operates at 28,800 vph and offers a 42-hour power reserve. While it lacks advanced finishing, it provides accurate timekeeping and hacking seconds for precise time setting.

The watch comes with a green tropical rubber strap, matching the dial’s turquoise accents. Alternatively, buyers can opt for a flat-link or beads-of-rice bracelet, both of which complement the watch’s vintage design. The 20mm lug spacing ensures compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket straps.

The solid caseback features laser-engraved artwork commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Enduropale race, along with the limited edition numbering. This detail adds a personal touch, making each piece unique.

The Baltic Hermétique Dual Time Enduropale Edition is priced at €600 on the rubber strap, with bracelet options available at an additional cost. The watch is limited to 200 pieces, with deliveries starting in February 2025. Likely to prop up in secondary markets such as eBay, and Chrono shortly after that.

The Baltic Hermétique Dual Time Enduropale Edition is a bold and playful take on the brand’s classic field watch. Its motocross-inspired design, internal rotating bezel, and colour scheme make it a standout piece for fans of the Enduropale race and Baltic enthusiasts alike. While the watch’s thematic elements may not appeal to everyone, its affordable price and versatile design ensure it will find a dedicated audience.
