Baltic has turned one of its most familiar limited-edition chronographs into a standing part of the catalogue.
The new Scalegraph collection arrives in three dial colours and keeps the brand’s affection for mid-century racing watches intact, but the execution is sharper and more practical than before.
For collectors who missed the earlier Tour Auto and Transat Café L’Or editions, this is the first time the Scalegraph formula has been given room to settle into the regular lineup.
At a glance
- Baltic has made the Scalegraph a permanent chronograph collection with champagne, blue and grey dial options.
- The 39.5mm stainless-steel case has been reworked with wider lugs, sharper lines, screw-down pushers and 100m water resistance.
- Prices start at EUR 1,640 on leather and EUR 1,700 on a steel bracelet, excluding taxes.
A racing chronograph settles into the catalogue
The Scalegraph name has been building momentum through Baltic’s motorsport and nautical timing projects, including the Tour Auto chronographs and the regatta-themed Transat Café L’Or edition.
Those watches carried the spirit of the earlier Tricompax line, which helped move Baltic’s chronograph work beyond the brand’s original neo-vintage Bicompax language.
With this release, Baltic is no longer treating the format as a special-edition experiment.
The former Panda and Reverse Panda Tricompax models now sit within this wider Scalegraph direction, giving the collection a clearer identity inside the brand’s chronograph family.
Sharper casework and three dial personalities
The new Scalegraph keeps the 39.5mm case diameter, a size that suits the watch’s vintage character without making it feel fragile or overly nostalgic.
The case itself has been updated with broader lugs, cleaner lines and vertical brushing across the lug tops, replacing the previous circular finish.
The biggest functional change is the move to screw-down pushers, which helps bring water resistance to 100 metres and gives the watch a more convincing everyday sports-watch stance.
Each version is paired with a matching aluminium tachymeter bezel, keeping the visual frame tight around the dial.
The blue model uses a glossy dial, while the champagne and grey versions have metallic finishes.
All three share off-white azurage sub-dials with polished rings, a detail that brings depth to the tricompax layout and separates the chronograph counters cleanly from the main dial surface.
Polished steel dauphine hour and minute hands keep the old-school tone in place, while round indexes and Super-LumiNova BGW9 add a practical legibility layer after dark.
Hand-wound Sellita power with weekend-ready reserve
Inside the Scalegraph is the Sellita SW510-M, a hand-wound chronograph movement derived from the Valjoux 7750 architecture.
It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 63-hour power reserve, which gives the watch enough autonomy to sit down on Friday evening and still be running on Monday morning.
The movement layout brings hours, minutes, small seconds, central chronograph seconds, a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter.
A stop-seconds function is also included for more precise setting.

The appeal here is straightforward, which is often when Baltic is at its strongest.
The Scalegraph now has the permanence, specification and visual variety to stand as more than a recurring limited edition, while still keeping the compact charm that made the earlier chronographs so easy to like.
