The story behind this Baltic Aquascaphe GMT
The young French watchmaker Baltic has made a name for itself in the watchmaking world by offering timepieces inspired by the golden age of the last century. The Aquascaphe GMT meets the expectations of modern travellers seeking the design of 1950s tool watches. Its aesthetic draws on the early days of commercial aviation. The decision to incorporate a sapphire-coated bezel insert is a nod to the Bakelite bezels of that era. This design offers remarkable visual depth whilst ensuring scratch resistance suitable for everyday use.
Case, movement and strap of this Aquascaphe GMT
The stainless steel case measures 39 mm in diameter and is 12 mm thick. The deep black dial is punctuated by geometric hour markers filled with luminescent material, ensuring optimal readability. A green hand indicates an additional time zone, pointing towards the bidirectional rotating bezel in shades of blue and green. The watch is powered by the Soprod C125 GMT automatic calibre, offering a 42-hour power reserve and featuring 25 jewels. It is water-resistant to 100 metres. The watch is secured by a rice-grain-patterned steel bracelet fitted with a folding clasp.
