New colours in the Bathyscaphe line

Two new Bathyscaphe models join Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms collection: a Day Date complication and a Flyback Chronograph. These pieces mark the introduction of new colours to the range of the Manufacture's diving watches.

The Bathyscaphe Day Date Desert Edition, inspired by the aesthetic codes of a Blancpain diver's watch from the 1970s, evokes the Nevada Desert in the United States, where Ernest H. Brooks II, pioneer of underwater photography and contributor to the Edition Fifty Fathoms project, made a spectacular dive in 1962.

As for the Bathyscaphe Flyback Chronograph, it appears in a unique green version enhanced by peerless expertise and skills in terms of dial-making. The colour reveals its subtle shades according to the angle of illumination, sometimes taking on metallic nuances.
