Introducing Baltic Unveils the Limited Edition Scalepgraph Tour Auto

Baltic returns with a new special release dedicated to the iconic Tour Auto, also known as the Tour de France Automobile, a legendary race first held in 1899 that crosses France’s scenic roads and historic circuits. 

As the official timekeeper of the event for the third consecutive year, the French watchmaker introduces the Scalegraph Tour Auto 2025 Limited Edition, a chronograph that builds upon previous editions while pushing the design even further with refreshed aesthetics and enhanced technical features.

The stainless steel case retains the same 39.5mm diameter but is now slightly thicker at 14.1mm, increasing the water resistance from 50 meters to a robust 100 meters. The familiar brushed blue aluminium bezel with tachymeter scale remains, as does the double-domed sapphire crystal and solid screw-down caseback, which features commemorative engravings. One notable upgrade: the addition of screw-down chronograph pushers for added functionality and durability.

The light blue dial is framed by a contrasting dark blue minute track, offering a bold and sporty appearance. Racing-inspired elements are present throughout, most notably the oversized “Big Eye” sub-counter at 3 o’clock a nod to 1970s motorsport chronographs, designed for optimal legibility under race conditions. This distinctive subdial layout also evokes the asymmetrical headlight design of classic BMW motorcycles, an iconic motif in the world of racing.

Complementing the central minute counter are two snailed beige subdials: a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock and a subtle 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, the latter indicated by minimalist indices and a discreet hand.

The central chronograph seconds and minutes hands are finished in blue, while the remaining hands adopt a silver tone. The hour and minute hands are coated with white luminescent material for enhanced readability in low-light conditions.

The watch is powered by a hand-wound Sellita SW510-M chronograph movement, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and featuring 23 jewels. It offers an impressive power reserve of 63 hours.

The Scalegraph Tour Auto 2025 is delivered with a stainless steel bracelet secured by a folding clasp, along with an additional navy blue Alcantara strap. This timepiece is a limited edition of 400 pieces, with each piece individually numbered and engraved on the caseback. The price is EUR 1,750 which is approximately equivalent to AED 7,260, excluding taxes.
