How do I bid? Start here
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 the name suggests, these three timepieces are constructed from titanium, which marks the first time the vintage-inspired watchmaker has ventured outside of stainless steel. Using two different cases, one 38mm and the other 39mm, Baltic has created a GMT timepiece, using the 39mm case, a Chronograph model, and a time-only HMS model – both using the 38mm. Maintaining Baltic’s use of vintage-inspired aesthetics, each timepiece features a hesalite crystal and a two-toned aspect, with the GMT variant features a black dial with Eastern-Arabic script in its dial, bezel and date aperture. Only available through Perpetuel’s boutiques and offered through a box set with all three models that was limited to 29 pieces, and only 71 pieces of each individual variant for a total of 100 examples of each variant, this collaboration is a fitting tribute to Perpétuel’s home, showcasing the incredible talents found within Baltic’s design team, and the beautiful timepieces that retailers and brands can create when they collaborate.

THE DIAL
The only watch within the set of three to feature a single-color dial, the GMT features a stunning two-tone GMT bezel set with Eastern-Arabic numerals to match the Eastern-Arabic script also found in its date aperture and 12 o'clock position.

THE CONSTRUCTION
Offered as a 39mm titanium timepiece on a leather strap, the GMT is a lightweight watch on the wrist with an unusual aesthetic that combines the best of vintage aesthetics with Arabic detailing.
