Fifty Fathoms Blue Bathyscaphe : the Art of Light
Blancpain unveils two new interpretations of its Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe, where light become a design’s signature. For the first time, Super-LumiNova® extends to the bezel, illuminating the watch alongside luminous white-gold indexes and a radiant blue sunburst dial. This luminous harmony unfolds within a new blue ceramic case — born beneath the surface, designed to reveal its full intensity in daylight.
A captivating chromatic performance, from day to night
With a soft or electrifying intensity, each model stands out with a vibrant sunburst blue dial punctuated by luminescent accents. The white-gold indexes capture and reflect the light, enhancing the dial’s brilliance and the play of contrasts. Two expressions emerge: the emblematic glow of natural Super-LumiNova® and the subtle modernity of tone-on-tone blue luminescence. The bezel — traditionally crafted in Liquidmetal® — now also glows with Super-LumiNova®, creating a seamless luminous balance that extends to the fluorescent stitching of the sailcloth strap.

A new blue ceramic case
At the crossroads of its devotion to the ocean and its spirit of innovation, Blancpain enriches the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe universe with a new expression of blue ceramic. This hue evokes the mystery of the great depths, where light fades without ever vanishing completely. Water-resistant to 30 bar, the 43.6 mm satin-brushed case combines exceptional durability with refined technical sophistication.
“At Blancpain, the exploration of color goes hand in hand with the exploration of the depths. With this blue, we sought to capture the ocean’s mysterious essence through an innovative material, while offering a visual spectacle on the wrist.”— Marc A. Hayek, President & CEO of Blancpain
Calibre 1315: Precision at the heart of the Bathyscaphe
The Bathyscaphe is powered by Blancpain’s Calibre 1315, renowned for its robustness and precision. This automatic movement, equipped with three barrels in series, offers a 120-hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, its meticulous finishing reflects Blancpain’s horological savoir-faire, where technical mastery and beauty of execution coexist in perfect harmony. Resistant to the trials of time as to those of the depths, blue abyss ceramic embodies Blancpain’s enduring pursuit: uniting innovation, elegance, and heritage.
