The Baltic × Tour Auto 2024 Tricompax is a limited-edition, manual-winding chronograph released in a run of 500 numbered packs to mark Baltic’s second year as official timekeeper of the Tour Auto. The original set paired the watch with a Hanhart Rally Timer set, a flat-link steel bracelet and a navy Alcantara strap. Baltic says the pack was sold in April 2024 and will not be reproduced, so anyone looking for one now is searching the collector or pre-owned market—not a current Baltic release.
What was the Baltic × Tour Auto 2024 Tricompax?
Baltic made the watch for its second year accompanying the Tour Auto as the event’s official timekeeper. The 2024 rally ran from 21 to 27 April, from a Paris Expo presentation to the finish in Biarritz. Baltic connects the watch’s historic colors and tachymeter scale to the event’s classic-car and circuit setting. The brand describes the Tour Auto as the historic reincarnation of the Tour de France Automobile, which it says was created in 1899 by the Automobile Club de France. Baltic’s official archive is the source for that account and the edition details.
The edition comprised 500 numbered packs. Baltic’s archive says it was sold in April 2024 and states, “This edition will never be reproduced.” That describes Baltic’s own production plans; it does not establish how many sets remain in private hands or whether any are currently for sale.
What came in the original pack?
The launch set included the Tricompax watch and three accompanying items: a Hanhart hand-wound flyback stopwatch and dash clock, a flat-link steel bracelet, and a navy-blue Alcantara strap. Fratello identifies the dash clock’s movement as a Seagull 3600; Baltic’s archive does not specify that movement. The pack also included a screwdriver for bracelet adjustment and a push-pin tool.

Launch price and availability now
Fratello reported a launch price of €2,100 excluding VAT on 18 April 2024. This is a historical launch figure, not a current asking price or an estimate of resale value. The available source pages do not establish present stock, listings, condition or secondary-market pricing. Treat any present offer as a specific pre-owned listing to assess on its own terms.
The 20 mm lug width is useful when searching for a replacement strap, but width alone does not confirm that a strap’s end shape or fastening will fit. Verify compatibility with the seller or Baltic before buying. If adjusting the original bracelet, the pack’s screwdriver and push-pin tool were intended for that task.
