Dual Exordium: Blancpain’s new Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet
Putting our attention towards a timepiece that boasts warmth, comfort and utility, Swiss luxury horologist Blancpain introduces two new faces for the Fifty Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet that presents itself as a lesson in style and functionality.
Bringing together two emblematic Blancpain universes into one model by combining the maison’s Bathyscaphe sporting DNA with its professionally minded Fifty Fathoms, two become one in a noble redesign.
Looking back, the Bathyscaphe line has seen several redesign since its inception in 2013. While its classic form remains largely unchanged, this new model comes measures 43 mm and arrives in either a red gold case with a sunburst blue-gradient dial or a 23-grade titanium case with matching anthracite dial.
The blue dial is framed by a unidirectional rotating bezel with a brilliant blue ceramic inlay and regal Ceragold™ time scale. Meanwhile, the titanium version showcases subtle shades of grey on its matt athracite dial, elevated by gold hour-markers, rhodium-plated hands and moon, and framed with satin-brushed anthracite ceramic bezel and graduated Liquidmetal™ scale.
Featuring a day of the week, month and date indicator, and a moon phase positioned in a large window at 6 o’clock, this three-handed chronograph, which is waterproof up to approximately 300 m, serves the perfect utility watch for the active gentleman looking to sport a timepiece that is both functional and stylish.
Powered by 6654.P self-winding movement, this chronometer is protected by a security system that enables the wearer to handle each indication at any time without any risk to the movement. This is a unique feature that stands out among the slew of other calendar watches available on the market.
