Two New Models Added to the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Complete Calendar
Blancpain introduces two new models to its "Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Complete Calendar": one in red gold with a blue gradient dial, and another in titanium with an anthracite dial. Both models fuse the sporty DNA of Blancpain's iconic "Fifty Fathoms" with a traditional complete calendar featuring a moon phase indicator.
The Sporty DNA of the "Fifty Fathoms" Meets the Traditional Complete Calendar
The "Bathyscaphe Complete Calendar," a core line within the Fifty Fathoms collection since its 1956 debut, is characterized by its sporty functionality combined with day, month, and date displays. This model was born from the ambition to create a dive watch suitable for everyday wear.
The moon phase, prominently displayed in a large window at 6 o'clock, adds significant visual depth to the dial. The Calibre 6654.P automatic movement is protected by a date mechanism with a security system, allowing for adjustments to each display at any time without the risk of damaging the movement, unlike conventional calendar watches.
The newly released models are available in two variations: a refined satin-finished red gold version and a cool grade 23 titanium version.
The red gold model is paired with a sunburst blue gradient dial that beautifully captures light, creating a style that is both sporty and elegant. The dial is further complemented by a unidirectional rotating bezel with a vibrant blue ceramic inlay and a Ceragold™ hour-marker scale.
The titanium version, on the other hand, features subtle shades of gray. Its sunburst anthracite dial is adorned with gold hour markers, rhodium-plated hands, and a moon phase, accentuating its beauty. The anthracite bezel is also made of ceramic, with a Liquidmetal™ scale. Furthermore, the gold rotor of the titanium model features an anthracite NAC coating to maintain a cohesive aesthetic, exuding a sporty and dynamic feel.
The red gold model comes with a choice of a blue NATO strap with a pin buckle or folding clasp, or a sail canvas strap. For the titanium model, options include a titanium bracelet, or NATO and sail canvas straps in gray.
