The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Ref. 5000A-0140-O52A exemplifies the seamless integration of high-performance engineering and refined aesthetic. Presented in a 43.6mm satin-brushed black ceramic case, the watch is built to endure the most extreme environments while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance. The unidirectional bezel, also in black ceramic, is set with a Liquidmetal™ scale—chosen for its exceptional resistance to deformation and corrosion, ensuring long-term precision beneath the waves. Its Sunburst Blue Dial is both vivid and composed, subtly catching the light to reveal depth and texture with every angle. The luminescent hour markers and hands offer superior visibility in deep-sea or low-light conditions, while the date window positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock is elegantly understated. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment protects the dial, delivering optimal clarity without compromising durability. Powering the watch is the in-house Blancpain Caliber 1315, a self-winding mechanical movement built for endurance and precision. It offers an impressive 120-hour (5-day) power reserve and incorporates a silicon balance spring for enhanced resistance to magnetism and thermal variations. The beautifully finished movement is visible through a transparent sapphire caseback, offering a glimpse into the exceptional craftsmanship that defines Blancpain’s haute horlogerie. Fitted with a rich blue sail-canvas strap and secured by a pin buckle, the Bathyscaphe Ref. 5000A-0140-O52A balances rugged capability with everyday elegance. With a 300-meter water resistance rating, this timepiece is engineered for professional diving yet remains sophisticated enough for any setting—making it an essential addition to any serious collector's repertoire.
