Baltic
Aquascaphe
Ref. HMS-01 · Introduced 2018
The Baltic Aquascaphe is the French microbrand that made the watch world sit up and notice independent watchmaking. Its vintage-inspired bi-compax dial layout and domed sapphire crystal evoke 1960s dive watches in a package with modern specifications. The Miyota movement is honest for the price, and the overall quality feels far more expensive.

French microbrand delivers on the hype
Ordered the Baltic Aquascaphe after seeing it constantly in online watch communities and wondering if the hype was real. After three months, I can confirm it is. The case finishing for this price is remarkable — brushed flanks and polished top surfaces on the lugs done with precision you don't expect at $550. The domed sapphire crystal adds a beautiful vintage depth to the dial. The Miyota 9039 movement runs about +4 seconds a day, which I'm completely happy with. Baltic's customer service was responsive when I had a question about the rubber strap. Outstanding little watch.
