Introduction
Following the opening of Dubai-based retailer Perpétuel in 2020 with its first limited-edition collaboration, a pair of watches from Baltic, the duo have decided to collaborate on another limited-edition trio of timepieces to mark UAE's 50th anniversary; the aptly named UAE 50th Anniversary Titanium Collection. As its name suggests, these three timepieces are constructed from titanium, which marks the first time the vintage-inspired watchmaker has ventured outside of stainless steel. Offered as part of the set of three, Baltic has created a GMT timepiece, using the 39mm case. Maintaining Baltic’s use of vintage-inspired aesthetics, the timepiece features a hesalite crystal and a two-toned aspect, with the GMT featuring a black dial and a two-tone black and rose-gold tone bezel. In addition, each model of the collection shares the use of Eastern-Arabic script in their dials, or bezel, in the case of the GMT. A fitting tribute to Perpétuel’s home, this stunning timepiece showcases the incredible talents found within the French watchmaker’s design team, and the beautiful timepiece retailers and brands can create when they collaborate.

THE DIAL
The only watch within the three that were launched as part of this set to feature a single-color dial, the GMT features a stunning two-tone GMT bezel set with Eastern-Arabic numerals that inject it with some pleasing colors.
THE CONSTRUCTION
While Baltic typically only use steel for their watches, the Perpétuel collaboration uses titanium for its cases as a way of differentiating itself from Baltic's standard offerings, and thus making it light on the wrist.
