Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5000-1110-70B

This is the time-and-date version of the modern Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe. The Bathyscaphe line was revived in 2013 as a tribute to the smaller, more civilian-focused dive watches of the same name from the late 1950s. This specific reference, with its meteor grey dial and steel bracelet, was introduced in 2014. It is significant for housing the high-performance Caliber 1315—with its 120-hour power reserve and silicon balance spring—in the more understated and versatile Bathyscaphe case. The design is a direct nod to its heritage, featuring a sharp, angular satin-brushed case, a slim ceramic bezel with Liquidmetal™ markers, and simple, legible hands and markers. It represents the core of the modern Bathyscaphe collection, blending vintage-inspired tool-watch aesthetics with a robust, contemporary movement.
