In-Depth Review: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe (2024)

[@pilotpat86]

Great review. Love the detail you share. Great watch! 😎

[@ChronoPursuit]

@@pilotpat86 thank you very much! More to come!

Great review. I owned this exact watch and LOVED it: 1./ The face is spectacular. Online, it’s hard to appreciate how different it appears in different lighting or at different angles. It’s one of the most legible watches I’ve ever worn. 2./ The watch would’ve been better in 42 mm. 3./ Personally, I would’ve liked to have seen the handset a little larger. Overall, I’d buy this watch again.

[@ChronoPursuit]

Thanks for watching! Its definitely legible (almost TOO legible, if that's possible). 42mm would have been great, agreed there, but the titanium construction makes 43.5mm feel like a 42mm on the wrist at least! The BP makes my Tudor BB feel like a 47mm, comparatively.

The next watch I'm likely buying is the BP villeret quantieme complet in blue with rose gold case. It's such a stunning dress watch. Already own a GS sbga315 and cw bel canto (purple) which I both love.

[@ChronoPursuit]

Most BP's are underrated - their Villeret's have great case proportions and the quintessential curved date hand is always a conversation starter!

Does she have a triple lock system (kind of) ? does the case back is srewdown ? thanks

[@ChronoPursuit]

I believe it is a double-lock system. The caseback is a screw-down design (with a transparent sapphire crystal back).

My grail watch... even though I guess I could technically buy one. Not sure what I'm waiting for, apart from being interested in a lot of impulse territory watches. Plus I haven't tried one on in-person.

[@ChronoPursuit]

You should definitely try it out in person. I was unconvinced when my AD initially proposed it but once I tried it on, I was sold.

[@EdwardViaTomato]

@@ChronoPursuit Apparently there's no AD in my city, so I guess I'll try to see one next time I randomly go to Vegas. I'm overdue on one of those trips.

I just don’t understand why they can’t bring these great color combos to the 38 mm size

[@ChronoPursuit]

Understandable… they have started to bring some of the colors to the 38 (I believe the blue color), but this limited edition titanium version is definitely special!
