Its case which is water-resistant to 200 meters is fitted with a double domed Sapphire crystal while its unidirectional diver’s bezel also has a Sapphire inlay recalling the look of old school Bakelite.

All Baltic watches are assembled by hand in France, near Besançon, by professional and experienced watchmakers.
The Baltic Aquascaphe has a price of approx. 580€.
Thoughts? I absolutely love the look of the watch; design-wise I’d say they’ve nailed it. Spec. seems really good, too.
Personally 39mm is a little too small plus no matter how good an adjusted 9039 is, it isn’t Swiss – that’s just me. What do you think?
Make sure you watch the video – I think it’s one of the coolest and most atmospheric dive watch vids I’ve seen in a long while. Brilliant script, fantastic voiceover; was literally hanging on every word!
