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.

Beautiful, functional and French for a small budget

First watch for me. The price-quality ratio was really great when I bought it (€470.00 in December 2019) whereas now it is not necessarily interesting anymore, the prices at Tissot having increased.
Otherwise, although slightly thick in my opinion, the watch is really superb. A beautiful guilloché (clou de Paris?), beautiful hands and then this ETA 2824-2 with the PowerMatic80 is really a comfort.

Excellent "first" watch

Nothing to add to all that is already known.
The watch is very classy, reliable and the bracelets are easily interchangeable.
The steel bracelet is very comfortable and fits the wrist perfectly (adjustable with tools provided upon purchase, and very easily).
Note that the second bracelet offered by the house (leather) is of very good quality.
This Santos Grand Modèle with date window was one of my dreams, now come true.

Excellent watch

Magnificent timepiece with an interesting quality-price ratio.
Although it is fitted with an NH39A (Seiko), we are still on a classic -20/+40.
The readability of the regulators is not necessarily obvious but on this model, and thanks to the minute indicators on the dial, the time can be read quickly and very precisely.
The engraving of the Basilica of the Redeemer in Venice is superb.

Great readability for a regulator

The brand Baltic was created in 2017 during a Kickstarter campaign by Etienne Malec and his associates in Paris, France. Inspired by the aesthetics of watches from the 1940s, this brand pays homage to &Eacute;tienne's father, a great fan of watches, photography and vintage automobiles. The name of the brand Baltic is also a tribute to the Polish origins of his family.
Their ambition is to create timeless watches, to be worn and kept for future generations. The range includes models such as the Baltic Bicompax 001, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/baltic/aquascaphe"> Baltic Aquascape</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/baltic/mr01"> Baltic MR01</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/baltic/hms_002"> Baltic HMS 002</a> and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/baltic/tricompax"> Baltic Tricompax</a>.
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Baltic watch cost?</h2>
The prices of Baltic watches change and differ depending on the model. Most cost between &euro; 600 and &euro; 800 depending on the models and finishes. A <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/baltic/hermetique_tourer">Baltic Herm&eacute;tic Tourer</a> costs &euro; 660 whatever its color, while a<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/baltic/tricompax/review/64b9c5b3fdaf39766d963968"> Baltic Tricompax Panda Chronograph</a> is sold &euro; 1,902. The second-hand market is also an opportunity to look at to find the Baltic that suits you at an even more attractive price.

(Updated January 2024)

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!

Baltic Aquascaphe Bronze marron

For my first bronze watch, I chose this very pretty Baltic Aquascaphe watch in bronze (CuAl8) which evolves over time and acquires a magnificent patina.

Magnificent blue sunray dial,
The case back is in 316L steel with an engraved diver.
It is water-resistant to a depth of 200 meters,
Anti-reflective double-domed sapphire crystal,
The movement is a Miyota 9039 Automatic with a 42-hour power reserve,
The case diameter is 39 mm for a thickness of 13 mm,
20mm Tropic rubber strap and bronze buckle,
The hands and indexes are coated with Super-Luminova C1.

Reliable and scalable.

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)

From rustic to dressed

Hello I just bought this brand new blatic bronze brown color and I am delighted with it. Aesthetically in any case it is superb and the sapphire insert makes all the difference compared to the basic bronze models. For the movement it is given for 9 seconds per day so rather correct. For the patina we will see with time. But for the moment very happy with my purchase even if it has literally been 20 minutes since it came out of its box.

Stunning

Baltic aquascaphe blue grit bronze first numbered series (279/300) in 39 mm. Original model which has already bathed and which has held up well. This bronze alloy oxidizes only by becoming matte. Reliable model which is very robust. Comfortable on a daily basis despite its weight. Only the after-sales service has never responded to my request to post a review on their site. Too busy certainly wanting to play in the big league internationally.

Original French bronze diver

Looking for a bronze watch at a reasonable price, I naturally turned to this aquascaphe
Beautifully engraved case back with a diver, we are in the codes of Baltic
Original chocolate color with a nice smoke especially in good weather
Crown easily handled with a crown protector
The patina is done very quickly in less than 15 days we go from gold to black quickly, don't panic ☺️
Two downsides the bracelet is not comfortable to avoid and the marks of the bracelet which are visible on the case back, a known problem at Baltic
