With this next 4K-video we present you a new version of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Day Date watch. This 500-piece limited-edition Bathyscaphe Day Date Desert Edition inspired by a Blancpain diver’s watch from the 1970s is characterised by a gradient-coloured sandy beige dial featuring a sunburst pattern.

The dial of the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Day Date Edition is enhanced by a unidirectional rotating bezel with a brown insert and hour-markers.

The 1315DD features a five-day (120 hours) power reserve, which is particularly useful in daily life. Another major asset is its balance fitted with a , a guarantee of accuracy and resistance to
The sapphire crystal case-back of the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe allows one to admire the finishes of this calibre, including its gold oscillating weight coated with a NAC treatment, thereby endowing it with added character.
