Moreover, Caliber F385 offers the advantage of a vertical clutch ensuring smooth activation of the chronograph and enabling it to operate non-stop, contrary to mechanisms equipped with horizontal clutches. The F385 is naturally equipped with a column-wheel system, as one would expect from a luxury chronograph, notably because it provides a particularly smooth feel when starting and stopping a timing operation. The flyback function ensures that zero-resetting and restarting are instantly executed by a single press on the 4 o’clock pusher. This device proves extremely useful when fast-paced measurements of successive times are required. Water-resistant to 300 meters, as is the watch case, the chronograph pushers can be used when diving without any risk of damaging the movement.

These characteristics are naturally teamed with the criteria that swiftly forged the reputation of Fifty Fathoms diving watches, including a dark dial with luminescent indications, a unidirectional rotating bezel with time markings, as well as antimagnetic protection now ensured by the integration of a silicon balance-spring.

On the aesthetic side, as its name implies, the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS gives pride of place to this rich hue. Its 43 mm case is in brushed blue ceramic, a particularly light and robust material also found on the rotating bezel. The likewise azure dial features a satin-brushed chapter ring highlighting Super-LumiNova®-coated hour-markers and strikes a fine contrast with the sunburst center and the snailed chronograph counters. On the back of the model, visible through a sapphire caseback, the bridges are adorned with snailed surfaces and beveled edges.

The blue-coated 18K gold oscillating weight is engraved with the Blancpain and Bucherer logos, thereby etching into the material these tokens of the trust-based partnership uniting the two prestigious Swiss Maisons.

About the Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS
The Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS watch collection comprises 18 exclusive timepieces that
Bucherer created in cooperation with 11 renowned watch manufacturers.
For 130 years, Bucherer has offered its customers a large selection of outstanding timepieces
from first-class watchmakers. Its unique relations with the most distinguished brands in the
industry are the fruit of many years of continuous collaboration, rooted in know-how, mutual
respect and exceptional technical expertise. These rare partnerships produced the 17 men’s
and ladies’ watches from the exclusive Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS collection, which Bucherer
developed jointly with the watchmakers Audemars Piguet, Baume & Mercier, Carl F. Bucherer,
Chopard, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Longines, H. Moser & Cie., Panerai, Piaget and Tudor. The
central theme of the collection is the colour blue. For countless artists over the centuries, blue
has been a source of inspiration, reminding us of the sky and sea, and of the blue blood of the
nobility. It has also become a symbol of the company Bucherer, and hence an identifying
feature of the Bucherer brand.
