BLANCPAIN – Fifty Fathoms BATHYSCAPHE Valentine's Day 2023

BLANCPAIN – Fifty Fathoms BATHYSCAPHE White  Valentine's Day 2023
 

Although Blancpain has been celebrating Valentine's Day for more than two decades, the Manufacture had never yet honoured it with a Fifty Fathoms model. It is now doing exactly that with the 2023 release of a limited-edition Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe emblazoned with the emblems of love: the colour red and the heart symbol.

Love and Fifty Fathoms go hand in hand at Blancpain. This collection of diver’s watches was born of the Brand's passion for the underwater world, which it has cherished since the early 1950s. It therefore makes total sense to dedicate a Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe model to Valentine's Day. The timepiece that the Manufacture is unveiling today to celebrate 14 February is for all lovers who, like Blancpain's executives when diving, lose track of time when they are enthralled.

With its satin-brushed steel case measuring 38 mm in diameter and water-resistant to 30 bar (approximately 300 m), the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe "Valentine’s Day 2023" is made to brave waves of strong feelings. Its unidirectional rotating bezel with ceramic inlay and Liquidmetal™ hour-markers is an indispensable asset for immersing oneself in the depths of love.

The luminous, immaculate white bezel matches the dial graced with 3, 6, 9 and 12 numerals and a minutes track in soft pink. This delicate colour also rims the luminescent heart positioned like a signature at the tip of the seconds hand. The universal symbol of love also sets the finishing-touch to in-house Calibre 1150, which is nestled behind a sapphire crystal case back, revealing its robust architecture and refined decoration.

Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe "Valentine's Day 2023" is thus characterised by a blend of impetuosity and gentleness. These apparent opposites expressed on both the front and back of the 99 timepieces composing the limited series represent the very essence of love.
