One of my favourite manufactures and one of its most distinctive divers. The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe in a fantastic black ceramic configuration.
The Fifty Fathoms is a true diving watch legend, with a history dating back to 1953. The Bathyscaphe is its more modern and versatile interpretation.
The black ceramic case measures 43.6 mm, yet thanks to its light weight and excellent proportions, it wears very comfortably. The black sunburst dial and ceramic bezel create a very coherent and technical look.
Inside beats the manufacture Blancpain Calibre 1315. Its three mainspring barrels provide an impressive 120 hours, or five days, of power reserve.
Complete with all original boxes and papers dated 2017. The watch underwent a service at an authorised Blancpain service centre in November 2025 and has approximately one year of service warranty remaining.
Condition is excellent. The watch looks virtually like new.
The interior lining of the box is heavily peeling, which unfortunately is a common issue with Blancpain boxes from this period.
