The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Ref. 5000-0130-B52A is a bold and contemporary expression of Blancpain’s legacy in professional dive watches. Crafted from black ceramic and measuring 43.6mm in diameter, the case offers exceptional hardness and scratch resistance while maintaining a lightweight feel on the wrist. The unidirectional rotating bezel, also in black ceramic, is equipped with Liquidmetal™ markers that resist deformation and provide optimal readability, reinforcing the watch’s readiness for the rigors of underwater exploration. The dial is finished in a sunburst deep black tone that shifts subtly under light, lending a refined depth to its utilitarian design. Baton-style hands and geometric hour markers are filled with luminous material for outstanding legibility in low-light conditions. A discreet date aperture at 4:30 blends seamlessly into the dial’s minimalist layout. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal featuring anti-reflective coating, ensuring crystal-clear visibility under water and across various lighting environments. At the core of this timepiece lies the in-house Blancpain Caliber 1315—a high-performance automatic movement engineered for precision and durability. It boasts an impressive five-day power reserve and is equipped with a silicon balance spring, enhancing its resistance to magnetic fields and ensuring long-term accuracy. The movement is visible through the transparent sapphire caseback, showcasing the meticulous finishing and robust architecture that define Blancpain’s horological mastery. Paired with a black sail-canvas strap and secured by a classic pin buckle, the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe 5000-0130-B52A embodies a rare balance of technical innovation and modern elegance. With 300 meters of water resistance, it is a timepiece engineered not just for the elite collector but also for the dedicated diver seeking uncompromising performance beneath the surface.
