About This Watch
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe in blue is the oceanic expression of the collection, with a sunburst blue dial and matching blue ceramic bezel insert that evoke the deep waters where the watch's heritage was forged. The blue is rich and saturated, shifting between navy and royal blue depending on the light, creating a visual depth that black dials cannot achieve. The same caliber 1315 provides the 120-hour power reserve that is a hallmark of the modern Fifty Fathoms collection. The blue sail canvas strap completes the nautical aesthetic while providing comfort and durability. The ceramic bezel insert is virtually scratch-proof and UV-resistant, maintaining its color integrity over years of use. At 43mm, the Bathyscaphe dimensions make it one of the more wearable haute horlogerie dive watches on the market. The blue Bathyscaphe has become one of the most popular models in the Blancpain range, appealing to collectors who want a dive watch with genuine heritage and manufacture quality but prefer a more expressive color palette than traditional black.
