Blancpain is making a big splash in 2024 with the launch of a new black ceramic version of its famous Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Quantiรจme Complet Phases de Lune. This high-end diver's watch combines sophisticated complications and innovative materials to appeal to watch enthusiasts and demanding divers.

A black ceramic case: robustness and elegance

The new Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Complete Calendar Moon Phases features a black ceramic case measuring 43.6 mm in diameter and 14.1 mm thick. This ultra-scratch-resistant material gives the watch a sporty and refined look.

The unidirectional ceramic bezel features a 60-minute scale made of Liquidmetal, a high-strength metal alloy. The screwed-down transparent caseback allows you to admire the manufacture movement with full calendar and moon phases.

Three dials to choose from for all tastes

Blancpain offers this new Bathyscaphe in three dial colors:

The dials feature a sunburst finish with a subtle gradient effect. The black and blue models feature black ceramic bezel inserts, while the green version sports an insert that matches the dial.

All models share the same characteristics:

  • Applied luminescent indexes
  • Day and month windows in the upper part of the dial
  • Moon phase display below center
  • Peripheral date scale with central pointer hand
  • Hands, indexes and zero mark on the bezel treated with Super-LumiNova
  • Bright red seconds and date hand tips for added contrast
  • A state-of-the-art manufacturing movement

    At the heart of this Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe beats the manufacture caliber 6654.P.4. This automatic movement offers:

  • A frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz)
  • A 72-hour power reserve
  • A complete calendar with day, date, month and moon phases
  • A silicon spiral for better resistance to magnetism
  • The key innovation: this caliber is equipped with a safety system allowing all indications to be adjusted without risk of damage, even outside the recommended time slots.

    A black ceramic bracelet: a first for the collection

    For the first time, the Bathyscaphe Quantiรจme Complet Phases de Lune is offered with a black ceramic bracelet that matches the case. This three-link bracelet uses a patented cam-shaped pin fastening system.

    For those who prefer textile straps, Blancpain also offers NATO or sailcloth options, available in black or blue depending on the model chosen.

    A price that defies the competition

    The Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Quantiรจme Complet Phases de Lune in black ceramic is available at:

  • โ‚ฌ16,900 on textile bracelet
  • โ‚ฌ23,900 on ceramic bracelet
  • While these prices may seem high, they remain competitive in the world of luxury diving watches. Indeed, the additional cost compared to steel versions is relatively modest, given the advantages of ceramic.

    The Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Complete Moon Phase Calendar in black ceramic represents a wise choice for lovers of high-end diving watches looking for exclusivity. It brilliantly combines Blancpain's watchmaking heritage, sophisticated complications and avant-garde materials.

    This new version of the iconic Fifty Fathoms once again proves Blancpain's ability to innovate while remaining faithful to its history. Whether to dive into the depths or shine in society, this watch will seduce the most demanding enthusiasts.
