FS Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe grey ceramic case blue dial 5000 0240 O52A

For sale is an excellent condition blue-dial grey plasma ceramic case Blancpain Bathyscaphe. This is one of my favorite watches ever (talk me out of selling it maybe). The case and pin buckle are made of brushed and unscratchable ceramic, and their color is closer to that of titanium metal. Due to the ceramic case and sailcloth strap, the watch wears surprisingly light and comfortable on the wrist. The blue dial is very dynamic in different light conditions, and the date window matches the color of the dial. The lume is outstanding, and in my opinion superior to Rolex, Omega, or Seiko. On the back you see the high-horology movement with 120 hours of power reserve, hand-polished bevels, and 18k gold rotor with a stealth coating. 300m of water resistance too. This is in my opinion the best diver on the market, and yet it costs less and attracts less unwanted attention than a Rolex. And better finished than a Grand Seiko.

I purchased it from a Blancpain AD in December 2020. Not long afterwards I bought a green sailcloth Blancpain strap on which I have worn it over time. I had the watch serviced recently and I put it back on the original navy slailcloth strap as shown on the photos. The watch comes in a really nice pelican style case and Blaincpain includes a dive log book, which I wonder if anyone ever used :) If you see any flaws on the photos it is probably external dust or smudges -- the case, bezel and pin buckle are indestructible.

Case Material: Ceramic
Case Diameter: 43.6 mm
Case Thickness: 13.8 mm
Water Resistance: 30 bar
Lug Width: 23 mm
Bezel: Unidirectional satin-brushed grey ceramic bezel with blue ceramic insert and Liquidmetal hour markers

Asking for $8950 which includes shipping in the US. Make an offer!
