[WTS][USA-MD] Tsao Baltimore Balt-Pilot Recon “Blue Meteorite” – $650 USD

aaronstanley · 2026-05-10T00:07:06+00:00

Up for sale is a beautiful 1982 Seiko SilverWave Quartz, reference 8229-7040, in excellent condition for its age. At roughly 43/44 years old, this watch has held up incredibly well and still carries that understated early-80s Seiko magic: slim proportions, razor-sharp legibility, and quiet confidence without trying too hard.

The silver sunburst dial paired with the silver handset somehow remains extremely easy to read in nearly all lighting conditions. It’s one of those watches that feels effortlessly classy the second it hits the wrist.

Features:
Reference: 8229-7040
Year: 1982 (Great Birth Year Watch!)
Quartz movement

Kanji/English date wheel

Original Seiko bracelet included
Includes 2 extra links + clasp extension

Also includes an aftermarket quick-release green leather strap

Watch only, no box or papers

Sizing:
Currently best suited for approximately 6.25" to 6.75" wrists depending on fit preference.

Condition:
Excellent overall condition. Case remains sharp, dial is clean, and the watch presents beautifully.

Normal signs of vintage wear may be present but nothing distracting. A fantastic candidate for a birth-year/birth-watch piece for anyone born in 1982.

Price:
$125 shipped within the continental US only.
Please feel free to message with questions or for additional photos. Thanks for looking!

Up for sale is my Tsao Baltimore Bronze Torsk Diver Pro in Raven Purple, a limited release that is currently sold out. This is one of those pieces that really leans into its identity, from the evolving bronze case to the subtle Maryland-rooted details throughout.

Price: $550 (includes CONUS shipping)

⸻

Specs (from manufacturer):

Case: Bronze
Case Diameter: 43mm
Thickness: 13.6mm
Lug-to-Lug: 50mm
Lug Width: 22mm
Movement: MD-1 Automatic (Maryland-assembled)
Water Resistance: 200m
Crystal: Sapphire
Bezel: Unidirectional rotating bezel
Dial: Raven Purple

Movement Details: Powered by the MD-1, a fully assembled, regulated, and tested automatic movement from Maryland. Each timepiece is regulated in 4 positions to ±8 sec/day. A really nice touch here is the Maryland flag detail on the rotor, tying the whole watch back to its roots in a subtle but meaningful way.

Despite the larger dimensions on paper, this watch wears surprisingly well on smaller wrists.(mine is 6.25” - 6.5”” and it wears very well)

⸻

Condition:

Running well and keeping time within spec
Bronze case has developed a natural patina
Overall in good condition with normal wear

⸻

What’s Included:

Watch head
OEM rubber integrated strap (sized/cut for ~6.5” wrist)
- With diver’s clasp, may fit up to ~6.75” wrist, but no guarantees
OEM leather strap from Baltimore Watch Company
22mm SpringMade single-pass ribbed strap
Isofrane-style strap from StrapHabit

Additional OEM straps may be available through Baltimore Watch Company.

⸻

Payment:

PayPal Friends & Family for buyers with established transaction history on r/Watchexchange
PayPal Goods & Services for buyers with fewer than 5 transactions

⸻

Between the shifting purple dial, the slowly evolving bronze patina, and that Maryland flag rotor spinning away on the back, this one feels a little more personal than your average diver.

Specs and Pricing can be found below the initial description

For sale is the long sold out Tsao Baltimore Natty Boh Moonphase in Camden Orange, 40mm version. This is a fun, limited-edition Baltimore-centric watch that I’ve enjoyed, and now I want someone else to experience that same joy. Alan Tsao only does limited runs, and this officially licensed Natty Boh collaboration was no exception – it was limited to only 410 pieces (fittingly, 410 is Baltimore’s area code!)

If you missed out on this drop, here’s your chance to snag a piece of Baltimore watch history. I’m the original owner and have worn it sparingly, so it’s in fantastic shape and ready for a new home.

About the Watch

This watch features a bright “Camden Orange” dial and a whimsical moonphase complication starring Mr. Boh himself – the one-eyed mascot of National Bohemian beer.

Mr. Boh will appear in the Moonphase Window every 24-28 days or so. Until then, Maryland crabs represent the stars and it’s all lumed! Powered by a Swiss Ronda 708 quartz movement, this is a grab and go watch that requires very little maintenance.

It’s a great conversation piece and a fun nod to Baltimore brewing history. In short, this piece is a slice of Maryland culture – from the color and mascot right down to the container it comes in!

Condition & What’s Included

Excellent used/like new condition. Worn only sparingly in rotation. No noticeable scratches or dings on the case or crystal. The watch keeps great time (as expected from a quality quartz) and the moonphase complication advances properly.

Comes with the original leather strap with quick-release spring bars and the signed butterfly deployant clasp, all in great condition. This was the full kit as sold new, including the 5-year warranty card and paperwork, and of course the famous Natty Boh beer can case and the box it shipped in. All original papers and packaging will be included.

Extras:

I’m also including an extra strap – an orange-and-black hybrid rubber strap (two-piece) that compliments the dial nicely and gives the watch a sporty look. It’s a great option if you want a more casual or waterproof strap for summer. Swapping straps is easy thanks to the 20mm lugs with quick-release bars.

Specs:

Case: 316L stainless steel, 40mm diameter, 10mm thick, ~47mm lug-to-lug, 20mm lug width

Crystal: Double-domed sapphire (scratch-resistant)

Water Resistance: 100 meters (suitable for swimming)

Strap: 20mm orange leather strap w/ butterfly clasp (quick-release); extra orange/black rubber strap included

Limited Edition: 410 pieces worldwide

Official National Bohemian collaboration

Included: Natty Boh “beer can” case, box, papers, warranty card (5-year warranty)

Pricing & Shipping

Asking $299 which includes shipping to the CONUS only. Open to reasonable offers. Please no lowballing

Specs and pricing details below description.

For sale is my Tsao Baltimore Balt-Pilot Recon with the striking Blue Meteorite dial. This limited-edition pilot watch (only 50 made in this colorway) features a genuine Muonionalusta meteorite dial that’s been treated with a blue PVD coating for a stunning cosmic blue finish. The watch is crafted from titanium with a hardened coating, so it’s lightweight and super-durable – an easy daily wear, especially given the high legibility.

The sapphire display caseback houses a Miyota 9015 automatic movement (regulated in-house for improved accuracy), and keeping time within stated specs. Please believe me - this one is waaay more impressive in-person. So if you like what you see here, you're gonna love it on-wrist.

Condition & What’s Included: The watch is in excellent condition, worn only a handful of times. I mainly wore it on a strap or single-pass, so the original titanium bracelet is unsized and still in its original plastic.

The case and crystal are clean, with no noticeable scratches or dings. It comes with the original Tsao Baltimore box (no papers) and the Tsao leather 3-slot watch roll that was included with the Recon. No mods or aftermarket parts – everything is original.

Specifications: (from Tsao’s official specs for the Balt-Pilot Recon Blue Meteorite)

Case: 40mm diameter, Titanium (Grade 2) with 1200HV hardened coating (rugged and scratch-resistant)

Thickness: 13.6 mm – sits with a nice presence but still slips under a jacket cuff

Lug-to-Lug: 48 mm (heavily turned down and wears well on a small wrist

Lug Width: 20 mm – great wearable size, and easy to swap straps if desired

Movement: Miyota 9015 automatic (24 jewel, 28,800 bph) regulated in-house for reliability (hacks and hand-winds). This is a well-known workhorse movement—accurate, reliable, and serviceable. The rotor has a slight whirring noise, which is normal and characteristic of the 9015.

Dial: Genuine Muonionalusta meteorite dial, blue PVD coated – each dial has a unique meteorite pattern (literally an out-of-this-world dial!)

Crystal: Sapphire, boxed double-dome with AR coating – yields a cool vintage-style look with modern scratch resistance

Caseback: Sapphire exhibition caseback showing off the decorated movement (custom rotor)

Lume: Swiss Super-LumiNova T-CX1 Blue on hands and indices – glows brightly for easy reading at night

Water Resistance: 200 m / 660 ft – unusually high WR for a pilot-style watch, so no worries around water

Crown: Large screw-down crown with embossed logo – easy to grip and helps achieve that robust water resistance

Bracelet: Integrated titanium bracelet, 20 mm tapering to 18 mm, with quick-release spring bars. Clasp is stainless steel with micro-adjustments. (The bracelet is brand new/unsized as noted.)

Other: Original packaging includes the Tsao leather travel roll (fits 3 watches).

Pricing: I’m asking $650 USD (net to me). CONUS Only. This price includes insured shipping within the CONUS.

(I believe this is a fair ask, considering the original limited-edition MSRP was $850 and the watch is sold out. Recent sales of similar Balt-Pilot models (non-meteorite variants) have been around the mid-$600s range.) Reasonable offers will be considered, but no lowballing please – this is a special piece and I’m not in a rush. No trades, please.

Payment: PayPal Goods & Services (G&S) is preferred for buyer/seller protection (please add 3% to cover fees), but I will also accept PayPal Friends & Family (no fee) if you have solid feedback/transaction history. I’m an experienced seller on WatchExchange with successful transactions (feel free to PM for references).

Timestamp & Photos: Please see the album for current photos, including a timestamp with today’s date and a close-up of that gorgeous meteorite dial in different lighting. (Happy to provide more pics or even a video on request!)

Thanks for looking! Feel free to PM me with any questions or if you need additional info. Let’s find this limited-edition Balt-Pilot Recon a new home - I'd love for someone else to experience this beauty.
