Baltic introduces Scalegraph, synchronizing with the 2025 Tour Auto Vintage Rally event.
Baltic, the French watchmaker that launched a successful Kickstarter campaign eight years ago, has unveiled a new model in collaboration with Tour Auto - the Baltic Scalegraph Tour Auto 2025 Limited Edition. This special release celebrates Baltic's involvement in the Tour Auto event, a vintage car rally hosted by Peter Auto each year.
The Scalegraph is a triple-register chronograph watch that draws inspiration from motorsport heritage. Its design is reminiscent of racing-inspired chronographs, featuring a "Big Eye" sub-counter layout and a tricompax layout with a third register that blends into the satin background. The watch's red and blue accents resemble vintage race car liveries, adding to its vintage racing aesthetic.
The Scalegraph Tour Auto 2025 Limited Edition boasts a stainless steel case that is 39.5mm across and 14.1mm thick, with a lug-to-lug length of 47mm. It boasts 100m water resistance due to the addition of a screw-down crown and pushers. The watch's dial is light blue with Super-LumiNova lume, while the crystal is sapphire glass. The case back and bracelet are also made of stainless steel.
The Scalegraph is powered by a Sellita SW510-M manually-wound column-wheel chronograph movement. This movement features a stop-seconds feature and a 63-hour power reserve. The watch's functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, and a chronograph.
The left and right subdials of the Scalegraph match the blue dial with off-white colors, while the Scalegraph also has a darker blue minute track, lumed hour markers, and a blue tachymeter bezel insert. The watch comes with a beads-of-rice stainless steel bracelet and an additional dark blue Alcantara strap.
The Scalegraph Tour Auto 2025 Limited Edition is priced at €1,750 plus VAT (approximately $2,221 USD) and is limited to 400 pieces. Baltic has partnered with Tour Auto in the past for special-edition watches, and the company has become one of the key microbrands in the watch industry. Baltic is currently the official timekeeper of the Tour Auto vintage car rally for the third year.
In conclusion, the Baltic Scalegraph Tour Auto 2025 Limited Edition watch combines racing-inspired design with reliable mechanical performance, making it a unique collector's item. Its vintage racing aesthetic, coupled with its limited availability, makes it an attractive choice for watch enthusiasts and racing fans alike.
The Baltic Scalegraph Tour Auto 2025 Limited Edition watch showcases a fusion of style from the motorsport heritage and contemporary technology. The tricompax layout with a "Big Eye" sub-counter and the Sellita SW510-M manually-wound column-wheel chronograph movement embody this blend.
