The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Ref. 5000-1110-71S is a striking expression of technical mastery and timeless design, engineered for performance both underwater and on land. Housed in a 43mm satin-brushed stainless steel case, this timepiece evokes strength and purpose while maintaining refined proportions. The unidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with a black ceramic insert, engraved and filled with Liquidmetal™ markers—ensuring optimal scratch resistance, longevity, and impeccable legibility under any conditions. At its core is Blancpain’s renowned Caliber 1315, a self-winding mechanical movement developed entirely in-house. With a high-inertia three-barrel design, it delivers an exceptional 120-hour power reserve while maintaining a frequency of 4 Hz. The movement’s silicon balance spring enhances precision and provides strong resistance to magnetic fields—crucial for a true tool watch. Visible through a sapphire crystal case back, the movement is finished to the highest standards, underscoring the maison’s heritage of fine Swiss watchmaking. The meteor grey dial lends a modern and sophisticated tone to the watch, subtly sunburst and impeccably detailed. Hands and hour markers are filled with Super-LumiNova® for high visibility in deep-sea environments, while a date display between 4 and 5 o’clock integrates seamlessly into the design. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, the dial maintains its clarity in even the most demanding settings. Fitted with a robust satin-brushed stainless steel bracelet and folding clasp, the Bathyscaphe Ref. 5000-1110-71S ensures a secure, comfortable fit and a cohesive aesthetic. Water-resistant to 300 meters, this watch is the embodiment of Blancpain’s commitment to merging diving heritage with modern horological innovation. It is not just a diving instrument—it is a symbol of enduring excellence.
