One of the biggest names in the burgeoning ‘not-quite-microbrand’ watch scene is French outfit Baltic. Etienne Malec’s brand has gone from strength to strength in the five short years there’s been around, moving from retro-dressy to diver with ease. The latest entry in the latter category is a technical take on their popular Aquascaphe, the Aquascaphe Titanium.
It should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that the major point of difference with this watch is the titanium case. The classic aquascaphe was already a fairly light wear on the wrist, so I’m very interested to see how ultra-light titanium plays out. But case material isn’t the only difference. Overall the new titanium models (available in glossy blue or grained black) have a slightly souped-up (dare we say ‘maxi’), technical feel to them, which is apparent in the brushed ceramic bezel, and a dial that’s been cribbed from the Aquascaphe dual crown. The case measures 41mm across, and is rated to 300 metres — funnily enough, the first run of each variant is limited to 300 pieces — and it is powered by a cost-effective and capable Miyota 9039. It comes on a rubber tropic strap, and the whole kit and caboodle is assembled, adjusted and tested in the epicentre of French watchmaking, Besançon.
