Baltic’s Hermétique The Rift brings Icelandic colour to a new 34mm case

Baltic has created a 400-piece Hermétique edition to mark its role as Official Timekeeper of The Rift, the cycling event held across southern Iceland’s volcanic terrain. Alongside the familiar 37mm format, the collection introduces a smaller 34mm case. Both versions retain a double-domed sapphire crystal and 150-metre water resistance.

The design pairs a luminous white dial with a dark forged-carbon minute track and blue-and-green accents. An integrated crown keeps the case outline compact, while the FKM rubber strap reinforces its sporting character.

Power comes from the automatic Miyota 9039, with a 42-hour reserve. Baltic lists delivery for the end of October. The model’s appeal is its combination of legibility, practical construction and a distinctive landscape-inspired palette.
