Description
Originally developed for airline pilots navigating long-haul routes in the 1960s and ’70s, the GMT watch has since become an enduring symbol of travel, precision, and modern utility. The Baltic Aquascaphe GMT carries this legacy forward, combining classic tool-watch purpose with refined contemporary execution.
Designed for clarity across time zones and built for dependable daily wear, it is a watch that feels equally at home in transit, at work, or off-duty.
Inspiration & Design
The Aquascaphe GMT draws from the golden era of professional travel watches, when functionality was paramount and design followed purpose. Its defining feature is the fourth hand, which tracks a second time zone in 24-hour format - allowing multiple time zones to be read at a glance.
Baltic’s interpretation remains disciplined and balanced. Rather than visual excess, the design focuses on legibility, proportion, and intuitive use, staying true to the spirit of classic pilot and travel watches while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.
Dial & Case Details
The black dial is designed for maximum contrast and clarity. Applied indices and hands are generously treated with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring excellent legibility in low-light conditions - whether in-flight, at night, or underwater.
A discreet date window at 6 o’clock integrates seamlessly into the dial layout, preserving symmetry while adding everyday practicality.
The bidirectional rotating bezel features 24 clicks and a sapphire insert - chosen for its resistance to scratches and shocks. Both functional and visually refined, it allows easy tracking of additional time zones while reinforcing the Aquascaphe’s tool-watch character.
The solid caseback is engraved with world time zones, a subtle nod to the watch’s travel-driven purpose.
Movement & Mechanics
Powering the Aquascaphe GMT is the Swiss-made Soprod C125 automatic calibre. Selected for its robustness and reliability, this movement delivers stable performance across varied environments - from daily city wear to extended travel.
The movement supports precise GMT functionality while maintaining the durability expected of a modern professional tool watch.
Bracelet/Strap & Wearability
Designed for versatility, the Aquascaphe GMT wears comfortably and confidently on the wrist. Its proportions strike a balance between presence and practicality, making it suitable for extended wear throughout the day.
Whether paired with casual attire, travel gear, or more refined outfits, it transitions effortlessly - functional without feeling utilitarian.
Final Impression
The Baltic Aquascaphe GMT is a modern travel watch rooted in real-world purpose. Clear, capable, and thoughtfully designed, it offers genuine GMT functionality without unnecessary complexity.
A watch for those who move - across cities, time zones, and routines - with quiet confidence.
