Farer 35MM CUSHION CASEvsBaltic HMS 003

Owners widely praise the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE for its compact wearability, with a 10mm thickness and 38mm lug-to-lug measurement, and its attractive, art deco-inspired dials featuring vibrant color gradients. Reviewers highlight the reinterpreted case angles, steeper bezel slope, and the visually appealing hand-wound Sellita SW210-1 movement with custom finishing. Some owners find the 35mm size wears smaller than expected, while others note cushion cases can wear larger than their stated diameter, and there is a split opinion on whether the 35mm size is ideal for all wrists. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW210-1 movement with a 45-hour power reserve and is water resistant to 50 meters, priced around $1165/€1,195/£1,045. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE highly for its distinctive design and perceived value.

The Baltic HMS 003 is widely praised for its vintage charm, featuring a three-dimensional sector dial with a deep blue and gilt color scheme, heat-treated blue hands, and varied textures. Owners and reviewers highlight its 36.5mm case size, high-dome crystal, and Beads of Rice bracelet as particularly appealing. The Miyota 8315 automatic movement provides a 60-hour power reserve and stop-seconds function. One owner notes the domed hesalite crystal is prone to scratching. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Baltic HMS 003 highly for its unbelievably gorgeous design and vintage aesthetic at its price point.
