Baltic Aquascaphe Bronze - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

Micro-brands are sometimes gems and Baltic is an example! I don't know if we can still say that it is a "micro-brand" but the whole experience from buying in their showroom to contemplating my wrist and this for several years, discovering the evolution of an exceptional patina, is perfect. I did my first sea dive with it and everything went very well. The watch is beautiful and reliable...and what's more it's French! The tropical bracelet sold with the watch is very comfortable. Note that it is scented with monoi, which is rare enough to be highlighted.

After a long wait, I received my new Baltic Aquascaphe Bronze and it is hard to leave my wrist 😁. The finishes are really great. The dial, the indexes and the typography which take up the color of the case, the sapphire insert of the bezel which adjoins the double dome and what to say about the work on the crown... Now, I let time do its work!

Here, we are dealing with an oddity from Baltic. Both modern, but with this aftertaste of vintage, rustic but elegant, does not reinvent anything, but resolutely different and all its grace or because of the bronze. It does nothing more than what is asked of it and that is already quite enough. Robust and waterproof to 200 m, it will easily accompany you on all aquatic outings once equipped with its Tropic bracelet which smells wonderfully of vanilla. All you have to do is replace the bracelet with a pretty brown leather to change everything, leather on a diver? Sacrilege! You will tell me... Well no! The magic works and we end up with an almost dressy watch and the sapphire bezel as well as the crème brûlée colored indexes are not for nothing. Time and humidity will quickly take the golden shine off the immaculate bronze out of the box, but that's not a bad thing, nothing and no one escapes the ravages of time, not even a watch, bronze remains a poetic reminder of this maxim. On this Baltic, it's almost flawless? Robust and versatile but also precise thanks to its Miyota 9000 series, the only downside if it was necessary to find one, a French movement would have been perfect and a Tropic bracelet a little less rigid from the factory (a problem that the new Tropic FMK of the hermetic tourer model solves, but can only be purchased separately)
