Baltic Aquascaphe - Modern Standards/Vintage Looks

French-made Baltic watches are vintage-inspired dive watches with 200M water resistance. Not Homage watches but based on original design cues from the past. Is the Baltic Aquascaphe one of the best micro brand watches of 2023?
This watch is available on their website:

Great review, Eric! Super thorough and objective take on this. I really need to get my hands on a Baltic, their designs just work for me.

Hi Harvind. I love their original designs with vintage vibes. That is speaking to me. They are definitely a company I’ll be watching in the future.

Very interesting review, the way you showed how disappointing the dial looks in dull light was very interesting and not something I have seen in other reviews. I do like their design, and like you I value originality 👍

Hello dunderhay9169. I try to point out everything I discover during my testing ( good and bad) and let people decide for themselves how they feel about it. Some people may not be bothered by the way the dial looks in dim light. Personally, I was a surprised by it.

Want to love Baltic, great looks,.love the blue dials and design, don't like the lume. I've had an Aquascaphe and 2 dual crowns and sold them all. I'll buy other when they spend a couple more euros on the lume.

Another comprehensive and honest review. I like it (the watch) but maybe not enough to buy one, second hand maybe !

Hi Paul. I think that’s a really good idea. 👍👍

Seems like they retain value well

It is a great watch. I really enjoyed mine.

Way more cool in white version with a touch of red on the legend. Also the black textured version is better, in my opinion, but paradoxically the best seller is the blue. I find it boring and ambiguous in colour

Hey Eric. Great review. Have to say I am surprised at the real world colour also. Its a lot lighter of a blue than I envisaged. Still a beautiful piece but the bracelet integration as highlighted needs looking at. Nice one 😊

Hi John. It’s a difficult watch to capture on video. It is a dark, dark blue color. So dark that in normal indoor light it just looks black. When the sunlight hits it, it can look like the images in their website. My studio lights made it look a lighter blue but I think that’s a better representation than having it look black. I was hoping I communicated that in my video but perhaps I should have emphasized it more.

So very nice! A beautiful piece with a vintage vibe.

Hello LIS. I love the old time looks on this watch. Thanks for watching.

I think this is a crazy thing to say but I feel that Baltic is still a bit underrated...but i know alot of people feel that Baltic is actually overrated....and I just think some people DIG IT...and some folks don't and that's ok...this was a great review Eric keep up the awesome work 👍

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hi watcher1596. I think they have a lot of potential. I didn’t love this watch but I didn’t hate it either. A few small adjustments on the next version and I think it could really be something.

[@the-watcher1596]

@@EricsEverydayWatches right on they will probably do a version 2 I've seen lots of alliexpress brands do version 2's and such... but hey atleast we got a great review video letting us know the problems with it that's why I love your channel keep up the great work 👍
