New releases from Audemars Piguet, Baltic, Nivada Grenchen and more

Pietro Pilla

More than simple colour switch-ups, this week brought some complete redesigns from various brands. With Baltic and Audemars Piguet as highlights, the quality of this week’s novelties is rather remarkable. Tudor’s release of the F1 collaboration to the public was a nice surprise, and the new Franck Muller and Nivada Grenchen collabs are worth a look if you’re in the market for something different. Explore all the other novelties below and enjoy your reading!

Baltic MR Roulette

Baltic follows the success of the MR01 with a second chapter of this model, inspired by a roulette dial made for A Collected Man a while back.
While sharing the same movement, the previous iteration had a fully polished case: this time, it is fully brushed instead.
Four colours and multiple straps are available, making it tailor-made to your taste.

Certina DS Super PH1000M STC

Certina introduces a 70s-inspired diver as their latest collaboration with the international nonprofit Sea Turtle Conservancy.
The case is modelled after the DS-2 Super PH1000M, but it’s slimmer at 43.5mm in diameter and 14.5mm thick.
The beefy, tonneau-shaped case frames a light blue dial (almost as if it was washed) and a bezel in the same tone.

Panerai Luminor Quaranta BiTempo Goldtech

Panerai debuts a more compact 40mm Luminor with a GMT complication.

The recognizable sandwich dial this time features a black sunray brushed finish with a matched date wheel that allows the gold accents to pop.
