Blancpain 5000-1110-B52A Fifty Fathoms Bathscaphe

One of the most prominent features of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe 5000-1110-B52A is its aesthetically pleasing design. The watch case is made of brushed stainless steel. In combination with this brushed steel case, the timepiece’s uni-directional rotating bezel is also made of brushed steel but filled with black ceramic. Not only does this material give the watch the much-needed sleekness for a luxury watch, but it is also highly scratch-resistant, protecting the watch’s structural integrity.

Another unique feature of this watch’s bezel is that its indexes are made with Liquidmetal, which bonds perfectly with the ceramic allowing for a smooth finish. To further give a stylistic boost to the watch's exterior, Blancpain has also made the indexes of the bezel luminous filled with a raised dot at the 12 o’clock position. The watch strap is black and made of sail-canvas material with a pin buckle clasp. Combined with the rest of the case design, the watch's texture and colorwork in perfect synergy.

Like any high-end luxury watch, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe 5000-1110-B52A is also designed with a front and back placement of a sapphire crystal. Since it has a transparent back, which makes the movement system visible, the sapphire crystal's scratch-resistant properties protect the watch's complete structural integrity.
