THE FIFTY FATHOMS BATHYSCAPHE LINE EXPANDS
The Bathyscaphe line with its robust, youthful and dynamic DNA features a resolutely sporty, contemporary look. Its bold, innovative nature makes it the perfect field of expression for Blancpain's technological innovations. True to this spirit, high-tech ceramic is one of the ideal materials for this line.
Featuring the sporty, assertive style of the black ceramic Bathyscaphe models, the new arrivals enrich the line with a flyback chronograph and two three-hand plus date models.
New Bathyscaphe
With the introduction of these new models, the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe line revitalises its set of ceramic timepieces launched earlier this year, now offering three references – flyback chronograph, three-hand plus date and complete calendar with moon-phase models – featuring three different dials – blue, green and black – along with a generous choice of wristbands – sail-canvas and NATO straps along with a ceramic bracelet.
Calibre 1315: accuracy, reliability and performance
The new Bathyscaphe three-hand plus date watches are equipped with in-house Calibre 1315. Enjoying an impressive and constant five-day power reserve thanks to its three series-coupled barrels, it is equipped with a stop seconds function enabling time to be set with great accuracy. This movement equipped with an NAC-coated 18K gold oscillating weight is entirely decorated in the Haute Horlogerie tradition.
Calibre F385: high frequency, high precision
Beating at the heart of the Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback, high-precision Blancpain Calibre F385 features a complex and prestigious column-wheel system with vertical clutch, ensuring that the chronograph starts and stops smoothly without any unwanted stuttering. Operating at a high frequency of 5 Hz, this calibre has a 50-hour power reserve and is accurate to 1/10th of a second. Its flyback function serves to reset the current timing operation and start a new one with a single press.
Ceramic: a sporty, sturdy material aligned with the Bathyscaphe’s image
Innovation
Endurance
Dynamism
Beauty
Cutting-edge ceramic technology takes the Bathyscaphe line into a new dimension. The unique properties of ceramic make it an ideal material for this versatile line, which introduces a high-tech ceramic bracelet for the first time.
Durable, highly scratch-resistant and hypoallergenic, this material is nearly five times harder than stainless steel, yet is 25% lighter.
In stark contrast to the black ceramic, the dial of the new complete calender and moon-phase model is adorned with an elegant shade of blue.
Its subtle gradient combined with a sunray finish really brings the dial to life, imbuing it with a personality that changes with the light. Exuding sophistication, it adds depth while providing great luminosity that catches the eye.
