A throwback in style, size, and sophistication, the Aquascaphe classic draws on the DNA of more refined divers like the Fifty Fathoms to create a modern interpretation of the classic language.

At first glance, the Aquascaphe's 39mm stainless steel case, domed sapphire crystal, and sleek unidirectional bezel are all nods to the dive watch designs of the past. The watch’s dial is clean and legible, with simple hour markers and hands treated with Super-LumiNova for low-light visibility. Available in several dial options, including the popular blue gilt and black sand, the Aquascaphe exudes vintage charm without feeling like a direct homage to any specific model.

Despite its retro styling, the watch is modern where it counts. The 120-click bezel offers smooth and precise operation, while the sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant and more durable than the acrylic used in vintage watches. It’s also built to handle real-world diving, with a water resistance rating of 200 meters, making it more than capable for recreational diving or daily wear. The drilled lugs allow for easy strap changes, enhancing its versatility, whether you’re swapping between the included tropic rubber strap or a NATO strap for a more casual look.

Whether you’re a seasoned diver or just someone who appreciates a well-crafted, versatile watch, the Baltic Aquascaphe is a timepiece that punches well above its weight. Its classic good looks, sturdy build, and accessible price make it a standout choice in the world of microbrand watches. And while it honors the spirit of vintage dive watches, the Aquascaphe is thoroughly modern, making it a perfect everyday companion—whether you're exploring the ocean or just taking on your daily adventures.

In a world where heritage brands often dominate the conversation, the Baltic Aquascaphe shows that a small, independent watchmaker can produce something truly special—offering watch lovers the best of both worlds: a vintage soul wrapped in modern functionality.
