Fifty Fathoms

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Flyback Chronograph, reference 5200-0140-O52A, is a modern and technically sophisticated dive chronograph from Blancpain’s iconic Fifty Fathoms collection. Inspired by the historic Bathyscaphe models introduced in the late 1950s, this timepiece combines contemporary materials, professional dive specifications, and advanced chronograph engineering. This certified pre-owned luxury watch is presented in unworn condition and is accompanied by its original box and papers, forming a complete full set.

The watch features a 43.6 mm case crafted entirely from black ceramic, a material prized for its exceptional scratch resistance and lightweight properties. The matte ceramic case gives the watch a bold yet refined appearance while ensuring excellent durability in demanding environments. The deep blue dial adds a distinctive and modern aesthetic, creating a striking contrast against the black ceramic case.

The dial is designed for optimal legibility, featuring applied hour markers and broad hands filled with Super-LumiNova for clear readability in low-light conditions or underwater environments. The chronograph configuration includes three subdials that allow precise measurement of elapsed time, while the flyback function enables instant reset and restart of the chronograph with a single push. A unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert and diving scale further emphasizes the watch’s professional diving capability.

The watch is fitted with a durable fabric strap that complements the sporty character of the Bathyscaphe line while ensuring comfort and versatility on the wrist.

Powering the timepiece is the Blancpain Manufacture Calibre F385, an in-house automatic flyback chronograph movement known for its high-frequency operation at 5 Hz. This advanced movement offers exceptional precision and provides a power reserve of approximately 50 hours.

Combining innovative materials, high-performance chronograph functionality, and the historic heritage of the Fifty Fathoms collection, this Blancpain Bathyscaphe Flyback Chronograph represents an exceptional example of a modern pre-owned luxury watch.
