Baltic Scalegraph introduces a revised 39.5mm stainless steel case with wider lugs, sharper profiles, vertical brushing, screw-down pushers, and an engraved crown. The chronograph is available with glossy blue, metallic grey, or metallic champagne dials. Each version features a matching brushed aluminum tachymeter bezel, a double-domed sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective coating, and three light beige azurage subdials framed by polished rings. Super-LumiNova BGW9 is applied to the dauphine hands and round minute-track indices for improved legibility.
The chronograph is powered by the hand-wound Sellita SW510-M movement with a stop-second function and a 63-hour power reserve. Buyers can choose between an Italian calf leather strap, a steel Beads of Rice bracelet, or a steel Flat Link bracelet. The new Scalegraph collection is available to order now, priced from €1,968 on leather and €2,040 on a steel bracelet.
