Baltic’s Scalegraph has always sat in that appealing space between vintage motorsport charm and accessible mechanical watchmaking.
The latest version makes the formula more practical, bringing the improved specification previously seen on a special-edition model into the brand’s permanent collection.
With stronger water resistance, screw-down pushers and three dial options, this is the most everyday-ready take on Baltic’s manual-wind chronograph yet.
At a glance
- Baltic has introduced a new permanent-collection Scalegraph chronograph in champagne, blue and grey.
- The updated case now offers 100 metres of water resistance, aided by screw-down chronograph pushers.
- Prices are listed at €1,968 on leather and €2,040 on bracelet.
A tougher case for everyday wear
The most meaningful change is the jump to 100 metres of water resistance, doubling the 50-metre rating of the earlier Scalegraph Classic.
That improvement comes with screw-down chronograph pushers, a sensible move for a watch that leans more overtly into the sports chronograph brief.
The stainless steel case remains 39.5mm in diameter, keeping the compact proportions that have become a Baltic signature.
Thickness rises to 14.1mm including the sapphire crystal, up from 13.5mm, but the trade-off is a more robust case profile that better suits daily use.
Three dials with vintage racing cues
The new Scalegraph blends elements from the Classic model and the earlier Peter Auto edition rather than simply repeating either one.
It keeps the tricompax chronograph architecture, with three sub-dials arranged across the dial in traditional sports-watch fashion.
The hour scale borrows the more distinctive sideways bar indexes, giving the watch a stronger graphic identity without pushing it into pastiche.
Buyers can choose blue, grey or champagne dials.
The blue and grey versions receive colour-matched aluminium tachymeter bezels, while the champagne dial is paired with a black bezel for sharper contrast.
That combination gives the watch a useful range, from trackside casual to something smart enough for a jacket and dinner reservation.
A manual-wind Sellita chronograph calibre
Inside is the Sellita SW510-M, a hand-wound chronograph movement with a 63-hour power reserve.
The layout includes central chronograph seconds, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock.
Baltic has kept this version dateless, which helps preserve the symmetry of the tricompax dial.
It’s a watch for someone who enjoys the ritual of winding a mechanical chronograph, not just the look of one.
