Baltany S4095 36mm Automatic Date Watch

Baltany S4095 36mm Automatic Date Watch

The Baltany S4095 is a 36mm automatic date watch powered by the Seiko NH35 movement, paired with a sapphire crystal featuring a cyclops date magnifier and housed in a 316L stainless steel case with an oyster-style bracelet. It is available in five variants: silver dial on full steel, gray dial on full steel, and both silver and gray dial options on a two-tone gold and steel bracelet.

At 43.5mm lug-to-lug and 11.5mm thick, the S4095 is built for buyers who want classic proportions — a round 36mm case, sunray dial, baton indices and a date window — in a package that wears daily without compromise. Wrist fit is rated for 16.5cm to 21cm.

Key Specifications

Variants — Choosing Your Configuration

The S4095 is available in four distinct configurations. The core difference is bracelet and bezel finish:

Full steel (silver bracelet):

• Silver dial — clean, high-contrast, reads as the most formal of the four
• Gray dial — subtler, shifts between charcoal and slate depending on light conditions

Two-tone gold (GOD — gold and steel bracelet):

• GOD Silver dial — gold bezel and alternating gold/steel bracelet links with a white sunray dial; the most classic two-tone combination
• GOD Gray dial — the same two-tone bracelet with a darker dial; contemporary in character while retaining the gold warmth

The two-tone variants use gold-tone PVD coating on the bezel, crown and alternating bracelet links — a finish that pairs with warm-toned straps if you choose to swap the bracelet out.

Design & Case

The S4095 follows the proportions of the classic round dress-sport watch — a category defined by a smooth polished bezel, integrated bracelet and sunray dial that can transition between formal and casual contexts without looking out of place in either.

The 36mm case diameter sits at the compact end of current sizing. The 43.5mm lug-to-lug is particularly noteworthy: it is short enough to fit wrists at the smaller end of the 16.5–21cm range without the ends of the lugs extending past the wrist edge, which is the primary visual problem that makes oversized watches look awkward on smaller wrists.

Case finishing combines brushed surfaces on the bracelet centre links and case flanks with mirror-polished bevels on the lugs and bezel — a contrast finishing approach that adds visual depth and is more labour-intensive than an all-brushed or all-polished treatment.

Crystal — Sapphire with Cyclops

The sapphire crystal includes two features worth noting separately:

Cyclops magnifier — a small convex lens positioned over the date window that magnifies the date display 2.5x. This is a functional detail that makes the date readable at a glance without bringing the watch close to the eye — useful on a 36mm case where the date window is proportionally smaller than on larger watches.

AR coating — anti-reflective coating on the underside of the crystal reduces glare in bright light conditions and maintains dial legibility when reading the time against a light source. On a sunray dial that already reflects ambient light, the AR coating prevents the crystal from adding a second layer of reflective interference.

Movement — NH35 Automatic

The NH35 is manufactured by Seiko Instruments Inc. and is one of the most widely used automatic movements across independent watch brands globally. It is a self-winding caliber with:

• Bidirectional automatic winding rotor
• Hacking seconds hand — stops when the crown is pulled to allow accurate time-setting
• Hand-winding capability via the crown
• ~41-hour power reserve
• Accuracy of ±10–15 seconds per day under normal wear conditions

The NH35 is a no-complications movement — time and date only — which keeps the dial layout clean and symmetrical. It is serviced widely and parts are available globally, which matters for long-term ownership.

Bracelet & Wearability

The oyster-style bracelet is constructed from 316L stainless steel with alternating brushed and polished links — the same finish logic as the case. The folding clasp with double push-button release is more secure than a standard box clasp and reduces accidental opening during daily wear.

The 20mm lug width is a standard size with the widest strap selection available in the aftermarket. Swapping the bracelet for a leather strap or NATO significantly changes the character of the watch — the full steel version reads as a sport-dress piece on bracelet and as a more relaxed classic on leather.

The 132g total weight gives the bracelet a solid, substantial feel on the wrist without being heavy enough to cause fatigue over a full day of wear.

Who Is the Baltany S4095 For?

The S4095 suits:

• Buyers who prefer 36mm cases and find 40mm+ too large for daily wear
• Anyone who wants an automatic date watch on a metal bracelet as a versatile daily piece
• Collectors looking for a two-tone gold and steel option at a realistic price point
• Those who want the cyclops date magnifier as a practical feature, not just an aesthetic reference

If you want a 36mm automatic without a date window for a cleaner dial, the Baltany S4090 Pie-Pan is the direct comparison — same compact sizing, higher-beat Miyota 9039, no date complication.

For a 36mm automatic dress watch with a leather strap rather than a bracelet, the Baltany UK 1926 offers a mother-of-pearl dial option with the Miyota 9015 and 200m water resistance.

How It Compares

vs. Parnis PA2112 — The Parnis PA2112 takes a similar design direction in a larger 40mm case. If 36mm feels too small but you want a comparable aesthetic, the Parnis is the natural step up.

vs. Sugess S447 36mm — The Sugess S447 is another 36mm automatic at this price point. The S4095 has the advantage on bracelet quality and the cyclops crystal detail.

vs. Carnival 1986 — The Carnival 1986 uses an in-house movement and targets a similar buyer. The S4095 has the NH35’s serviceability advantage; the Carnival has its own movement character.

vs. Sapphero SO-2103 — The Sapphero SO-2103 goes for a more contemporary octagonal case design at a similar price. The S4095 is the more traditional choice.
