Baltic watches are designed to evoke the classic style of mid-century timepieces, with clean lines, simple dials, and elegant cases.

Another popular model from Baltic is the Aquascaphe, a diving watch that is water-resistant up to 200 meters. The Aquascaphe features a 39mm case with a rotating bezel, a date function, and SuperLuminova-coated hands and markers for easy readability in low-light conditions.

These limited-edition watches often feature unique colorways or special features, such as a sapphire crystal caseback that allows you to see the mechanical movement in action.
