About this entry

73% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, crown, lume.

Tsao Baltimore's first watch (2017), "hand assembled in Maryland", individually numbered. Each colourway has its own store listing: steel cases with Silver Black, Silver Blue, Silver White, Bronze-Grey, Cream, Emerald Sunray and Sunray Blue dials, and rose gold-tone cases with black, blue or white dials (every listing gives the same "Surgical Grade Stainless Steel" case and spec; how the rose gold colour is applied isn't stated). Listing: Miyota 9015 automatic (the text gives a 42-hour power reserve, hand-winding and hacking), "Surgical Grade Stainless Steel" (grade not stated), 42mm, "14mm Case Thickness" (not said whether it includes the crystal), 50mm lug-to-lug, "20mm Watch Strap", scratch resistant sapphire with anti-reflective coating, 100m, quick-release leather straps by Clockwork Synergy (Brown Aged, Saddle Brown Aged or Black Aged, plus large-size Black Aged and Saddle Brown Aged options, all at the same price, so not recorded as variants), a watch winder included. The "Limited Edition" listings are the same 42mm Miyota 9015 watch with "the Maryland Flag designed directly on the movement", "Limited to only 410 Watches (Individually Numbered 000 / 410)", at $500; every Limited Edition colourway listing carries the same 410 figure, so it may be the total for the run rather than per colourway. The Silver Black listing's first photo shows a blue-dial watch, and so does the Rose Gold Black listing's, so neither is used here; the Limited Edition Rose Gold Black listing's first photo is a blue-dial watch too, so its black-strap photo is used instead. The Founders listings date from August 2017 to April 2018. The Silver Black listing is titled "SOLD OUT"; every option of every Founders Edition and Limited Edition listing was unavailable on 2026-10-25, but the brand doesn't say the model is discontinued. Weight isn't published.
