The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Ref. 5000-0130-NABA is a striking embodiment of technical innovation and minimalist sophistication. Crafted in satin-brushed black ceramic, the 43.6mm case exudes contemporary elegance while offering superior scratch resistance and lightweight comfort. Its unidirectional rotating bezel, also fashioned from ceramic, is set with a Liquidmetal™ scale—an advanced material choice that ensures enduring legibility and resilience under the most extreme diving conditions. The sunburst black dial is subtle yet commanding, shifting beautifully in the light to reveal depth and texture. Bold luminous hour markers and baton hands provide excellent readability in all lighting environments, while a neatly integrated date display between 4 and 5 o’clock maintains the symmetry of the design. Protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, the dial delivers exceptional clarity and visibility whether on land or submerged in deep water. Powering this timepiece is Blancpain’s in-house Caliber 1315, a self-winding mechanical movement engineered for performance and endurance. It offers an impressive 120-hour power reserve and is equipped with a silicon balance spring, which enhances resistance to magnetic fields and improves overall reliability. The movement is revealed through a transparent sapphire caseback, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship, polished edges, and high-grade finishing that define the brand’s horological legacy. Fitted with a rugged black NATO strap secured by a pin buckle, the Bathyscaphe Ref. 5000-0130-NABA is both stylish and highly functional. With 300 meters of water resistance, it is a true professional dive watch—but its clean lines and modern materials make it equally suited to everyday wear. This is a timepiece that speaks to those who value precision, purity of design, and enduring mechanical excellence.
