Baltic Rally Timer Tour Auto 2026

The Baltic Rally Timer Tour Auto 2026 features a 39.5mm case with a subtle French tricolore theme and a mid-century aesthetic praised for matching classic car livery. Its clear, color-coded hands and chronograph elements are noted as making it easy to read at a glance, with its 12-hour elapsed timekeeping capability considered extremely handy for road rallies. The set includes a dash timer with a Hanhart flyback chronograph movement, which has a slightly squishy reset action, and a clock powered by a Seagull movement, all powered by a Sellita SW510-M movement. Overall, reviewers praise the Baltic Rally Timer Tour Auto 2026 for its functional design and aesthetic appeal suited for classic car events.
