Baltic Aquascaphe: The Art of Neo-Vintage Diving Horology
With its double-domed sapphire glass and sandwich dial, Baltic crafts a love letter to the golden era of 1960s underwater exploration.
Baltic Aquascaphe neo-vintage dive watch with beads of rice bracelet
Preserving the Golden Age of Skin Divers
Founded in France and assembled with obsessive precision, Baltic has taken the international collector community by storm. Inspired by his father's personal collection of mid-century timepieces, founder Etienne Malec created the Aquascaphe to deliver authentic 1950s diving proportions without vintage reliability woes.
Proportions That Honor Purists
- Diameter: 39 mm
- Lug to Lug: 47 mm
- Crystal: Ultra-high double-domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating
- Bezel: Sapphire insert with vintage luminescence
Sandwich Dial & Beads-of-Rice Bracelet
The grain-textured dial features a recessed "sandwich" construction at the cardinal indices (3, 6, 9), filled with vintage-tinted Swiss Super-LumiNova. Coupled with the legendary "Beads of Rice" steel bracelet, the watch feels like a precious heirloom unearthed from an underwater expedition off the Mediterranean coast.
