Baltic Aquascaphe Bronze Owner Review : Dressy, versatile and brutal

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)
