Unworn Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe, Grey Ceramic, 43.6Mm, Ref# 5000-0240-O52A, Box and Papers

Introducing an unworn timepiece that seamlessly blends heritage with innovation — the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms BathyscapheRef# 5000-0240-O52A. This modern reissue pays homage to a legendary diver’s watch first introduced in 1953, reinterpreting the celebrated late-1950s Bathyscaphe model with a contemporary edge. Encased in brushed Grey ceramic, the bold 43.6mm and thickness 13.83mm case is both lightweight and incredibly durable, embodying Blancpain’s commitment to performance-driven design. With its fusion of vintage aesthetics and modern engineering, this Bathyscaphe is more than a diving tool — it's a timeless statement of technical mastery and refined style. The unidirectional rotating bezel, fashioned from brushed ceramic with a polished blue ceramic insert, features Liquidmetal® graduated markings—a fusion of durability and aesthetic finesse that resists wear while maintaining a flawlessly smooth surface. A luminous raised dot at the 12 o’clock position ensures optimal legibility in low light. The dial stuns with a metallic blue sunray finish, adorned with polished steel hour markers and bold hands, all filled with luminescent material for deep-sea visibility. A polished seconds hand with a luminous dot and red-tipped pointer adds both function and visual flair. A discreet date window rests between 4 and 5 o’clock. Powering the watch is the Blancpain Caliber 1315, a high-performance automatic movement composed of 227 parts, operating at 28,800 vph. With 35 jewels and a remarkable 120-hour power reserve, the work of which can be seen through the transparent back of the case, this movement features a nonmagnetic silicon balance spring, delivering outstanding resilience against magnetism, corrosion, and aging. This deep-diving masterpiece is water-resistant to 300 meters (1000 feet) and comes equipped with a blue Sail-canvas strap and a tang buckle, offering comfort and durability above and below the surface. The watch is presented in a genuine Peli water-resistant case, underscoring its adventurous pedigree. A true fusion of heritage, innovation, and craftsmanship, the Bathyscaphe is the ultimate companion for modern explorers.
