The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Ref. 5000-1210-98S is a masterful interpretation of modern dive watch aesthetics, crafted in satin-brushed Titanium for a robust yet featherlight feel on the wrist. Its 43mm case features sharp, utilitarian lines and houses a unidirectional rotating bezel fitted with a grey ceramic insert, set with Liquidmetal™ markers for high resistance to wear and distortion. This thoughtful material pairing underscores the watch’s commitment to both performance and enduring elegance. The vertically brushed anthracite dial provides a rich visual texture that shifts with changing light, offering both subtlety and depth. Accented by blackened hour markers and hands filled with Super-LumiNova®, the dial remains highly legible even in the darkest underwater environments. A discreet date display at 4:30 preserves the symmetry of the design, while a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment ensures a flawless view in all lighting conditions. Inside beats Blancpain’s in-house Caliber 1315, one of the most celebrated automatic movements in contemporary watchmaking. With a 120-hour power reserve and a silicon balance spring for superior shock and magnetic resistance, it is designed to meet the demanding needs of divers and enthusiasts alike. The movement is visible through a transparent sapphire caseback, revealing the meticulous finishing and engineering excellence Blancpain is known for. Completing the watch is a full Titanium bracelet with a deployant folding clasp, adding seamless integration, enhanced comfort, and a refined finishing touch. Water-resistant to 300 meters, the Bathyscaphe Ref. 5000-1210-98S delivers uncompromising functionality wrapped in understated luxury—an ideal companion for both professional expeditions and discerning collectors.
