Fifty Fathoms

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Flyback Chronograph, reference 5200-0153-B52A, is a contemporary and technically sophisticated diving chronograph from Blancpain’s legendary Fifty Fathoms collection. Inspired by the historic Bathyscaphe models introduced in the 1950s, this timepiece combines modern 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 robust 43.6 mm case crafted entirely from black ceramic, a material chosen for its exceptional scratch resistance and lightweight properties. The case design reflects the utilitarian heritage of the Bathyscaphe line while maintaining a refined and contemporary aesthetic. The striking green dial adds a distinctive and modern character to the watch, creating a bold contrast with the black ceramic case.

The dial features applied hour markers and hands filled with Super-LumiNova to ensure optimal legibility in low-light conditions or underwater environments. The chronograph layout incorporates three subdials that allow precise measurement of elapsed time, while the flyback function enables the chronograph to be reset and restarted instantly with a single push, an important feature for professional timing applications. A unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert further reinforces the watch’s professional diving capability.

This model is fitted with a durable fabric strap that enhances comfort while complementing the sporty and technical design of the watch.

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 calibre delivers exceptional precision and offers a power reserve of approximately 50 hours.

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