About the model

The Baltic Scalegraph Transat Café L’Or Limited Edition is a mechanical chronograph wristwatch created as the official timepiece for the Transat Café L’Or transatlantic regatta. The model is based on the Scalegraph collection and combines a classic chronograph layout with features designed for marine use. It is a limited edition of 200 pieces.

The case is made of 316L stainless steel, with a diameter of 39.5 mm and a height of approximately 14 mm. The construction ensures water resistance up to 100 meters. The fixed bezel is fitted with an aluminum insert with a tachymetric scale calibrated for nautical miles and knots, allowing for approximate calculation of vessel speed. The front is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on the inside of the crystal. The case back is solid, screwed, with an engraving related to the regatta and the limited edition marking.

The dial has a light / metallic champagne hue and a classic chronograph layout. The central hand measures chronograph seconds. At 9 o'clock, there is a small seconds sub-dial. At 3 o'clock, there is an enlarged fifteen-minute big-eye sub-dial, designed for precise measurement of short time intervals, especially during regatta starting procedures. A date window is integrated at 6 o'clock. The indices and hands are designed with an emphasis on readability and correspond to the sporty character of the model.

The watch is powered by a Swiss mechanical hand-wound Sellita SW511 BH movement. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of approximately 63 hours. The chronograph function is handled by a cam mechanism with a horizontal clutch, which corresponds to the traditional design of sports chronographs in this category.

The model comes on a stainless steel beads of rice bracelet with a butterfly clasp, or with an FKM rubber strap. Both systems are equipped with quick-release spring bars for easy changing.

The Baltic Scalegraph Transat Café L’Or Limited Edition will appeal to those interested in a classically designed mechanical chronograph with a marine theme, functional measuring scales, and a hand-wound movement in a limited number of pieces.

About the brand

Baltic Watches is an independent French watchmaking brand founded in 2017 by Etienne Malec. The brand originated from a personal passion for watches and inspiration from his father's collection, and since its inception, it has profiled itself with a combination of classic 20th-century watchmaking principles with modern design and quality materials.

Baltic emphasizes aesthetic purity, simple functionality, and harmonious dial proportions. Each model is designed with typography, index layout, and overall element composition in mind, so that the resulting whole is clear and visually balanced. The brand uses traditional watchmaking materials, such as sapphire crystals, stainless steel, and titanium, and mechanical movements with manual or automatic winding. Part of Baltic's approach is also working with original materials, such as natural stone dials in the Prismic Stone collection, which give the watches a unique visual character.

Baltic Watches thus appeals to those who appreciate the combination of traditional watchmaking quality, clean design, and original materials, with each model offering a unique character and detailed craftsmanship.
