Earlier today our guest author review of the Baltic AQUASCAPHE GMT went live. Charlotte’s article showcased the AQUASCAPHE’s capabilities and piggybacking from that, it seems like a great time to talk about styling options.
The Baltic AQUASCAPHE GMT already has a few solid strap choices available with purchase. As standard it arrives on a comfortable, lightweight, black Tropic rubber strap which compliments the vintage aesthetic of the timepiece. For those hoping to dress the Aquascaphe up, the model does also come on a choice of two metal bracelet options.

Whether you’d prefer the finished look to be fun and flashy, or a touch more subtle, with such a bright, noticeable dial as the foundation, it’s important to find replacement strap options that truly compliment your Baltic AQUASCAPHE GMT rather than competing with it.
The watch itself has drilled lugs so strap swapping is really simple. However, with a seemingly never-ending array of colours, materials and styles to choose from, strap shopping can admittedly be an absolute minefield. Throw in an ultra-versatile watch like the Baltic Aquascaphe GMT and you might feel as if you almost have too many possibilities.
Luckily, at WatchGecko we like to keep things simple. Our high-quality, durable, and affordable straps can easily be found in one place (here), and this time, we’ve even done the legwork for you by handpicking the top 5 most compatible straps to pair with your Baltic AQUASCAPHE GMT.

The orange iteration of the Mayday Regatta Sailcloth feels like a natural fit for the Baltic Aquascaphe. With just the right hint of orange, the strap’s colourway is perfectly complimentary whilst still feeling subtle. The bezel of the Aquascaphe already provides an eye-catching pop of colour and the orange stitching used on the Mayday Regatta strap blends seamlessly against it.
The ultimate strap for those who seek to make every day an adventure, the Mayday Regatta has been carefully crafted from durable PVC rubber, meaning it can outperform all other sailcloth materials on the market. Waterproof, thickly padded but lightweight and flexible, the Mayday Regatta is truly ready for anything. From everyday comfort to thrill-seeking adventures, this strap is a stylish companion for the journey.

The Classic Highley is our latest twist on the WatchGecko staple, the Original Vintage Highley. Now with reduced padding at the lug end, the Classic is a great option for pairing with a more subtle watch. Just over 4mm thick and now with a smaller buckle, the Classic Highley makes for a sophisticated and timeless pairing with the Aquascaphe without ever threatening to outshine the watch itself.
Handmade with certified sustainable Italian leather for durable comfort and incorporated with quick-release spring bars, it really couldn’t be any easier to fit the Classic Highley to your Baltic with no tools required.

Injecting another pop of colour is our Vintage Tropical Style strap in dark blue. Inspired by the diving watches of the 1960s, this is a strap capable of blending functionality and sophistication seamlessly. Modernised with hi-tec FKM rubber and quick-release spring bars, it is an ode to the original iconic tropic straps but a fresh take on the heroes of a bygone era.
With smaller perforated vents allowing direct airflow to your skin and enhanced water draining, user comfort is achieved even in the warmest climates. If that’s not enough, the rich, blue of the rubber playfully contrasts with the orange bezel for a final look that is functional yet fun.

Complimenting the Baltic Aquascaphe with a perfect palette of blue and orange, the ZULUDIVER 1973 British Military Strap arguably has the best of the features we’ve discussed so far, wrapped into one, cohesive package. This strap has obvious military origins but has been modernized with the use of durable double pass nylon to truly lend itself to any occasion, from the everyday to the extraordinary.
