Fifty Fathoms

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe, reference 5000-0240-O52A, is a modern and highly refined interpretation of one of the most iconic professional diving watches in Swiss horology. Inspired by the historic Bathyscaphe models introduced in the 1950s, this timepiece combines minimalist design, high-performance dive watch specifications, and advanced mechanical engineering. This certified pre-owned luxury watch is presented in unworn condition and is accompanied by its original box and papers, forming a complete full set.

The watch features a solid 43.6 mm case crafted from black ceramic, a material selected for its exceptional scratch resistance, lightweight comfort, and contemporary aesthetic. The deep blue dial creates a striking contrast with the dark ceramic case while maintaining excellent legibility. Applied hour markers and bold hands filled with Super-LumiNova ensure optimal readability in low-light environments and underwater conditions.

A unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert and liquid metal diving scale reinforces the watch’s professional diving capability while preserving the clean and technical design of the Bathyscaphe line. The watch is paired with a durable textile strap that enhances comfort and reinforces the sporty character of the model.

Powering the watch is the Blancpain Manufacture Calibre 1315, an in-house automatic movement renowned for its reliability and exceptional power reserve. Equipped with three barrels, this sophisticated calibre delivers approximately 120 hours of power reserve while maintaining consistent performance and precision. The movement reflects Blancpain’s dedication to high-end mechanical watchmaking and long-term durability.

Combining contemporary materials, professional dive watch performance, and the heritage of the legendary Fifty Fathoms collection, this Blancpain Bathyscaphe represents an outstanding example of a modern pre-owned luxury watch from one of Switzerland’s most prestigious manufactures.
