Baltic makes its Scalegraph chronograph ready for the water

What to know

The Baltic Scalegraph has matured from a visually appealing retro chronograph into a more convincing everyday sports watch. The revised 40mm model keeps the balanced three-register layout and distinctive vintage-inspired dial but adds screw-down chronograph pushers. That increases the stated water resistance from 50 to 100 metres, a practical change for a watch with an otherwise sporty personality.

The grey reverse-panda version is especially effective. Its restrained dial, contrasting registers and aluminium bezel create depth without relying on flashy colours. Other refinements include a small crown guard and a vertically brushed case finish, details that make the steel construction feel more purposeful.

Inside is the hand-wound Sellita SW510-M mechanical chronograph, a suitable match for the model’s traditional character. The Scalegraph is available with leather, rubber or metal bracelet options. It is an interesting example of a microbrand improving an existing design rather than replacing it every season.
