BLANCPAIN Fifty Fathoms Bathysacphe BUCHERER BLUE

Behold Blancpain’s beautiful Bathyscaphe Bucherer BLUE; now that’s alliteration for you. For 2021 Bucherer has given seven luxury timepieces their iconic corporate blue treatment; Carl F. Bucherer, Chopard, Girard-Perregaux and Longines were among those to receive the blue honors. But as far as we are concerned; two diver’s models were among the lucky seven; an Oris AQUIS Date and this Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe in ceramic. Special Bucherer BLUE features of the watch include: a blue sunray dial, a blue oscillating weight with dual Blancpain & Bucherer branding and a navy blue NATO-style strap. Basic specifications of the Diver's Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe include: a 43.6mm in diameter case in ceramic, a sapphire crystal and a water-resistance up to 300m. The unidirectional diver’s bezel is also in ceramic while the case-back comes with a sapphire crystal exhibition window showing the – the Blancpain Caliber 1315 automatic mechanical movement with its 120hrs of power-reserve as well as said blue rotor. The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathysacphe Bucherer BLUE Ref. 5000-0140-NAOA comes in Pelican-style dry box. It is a Limited Edition of just 188 pieces. You’ll have to contact Bucherer directly for the price as it is not listed. All models in the 2021 Bucherer BLUE Collection are available exclusively from Bucherer boutiques.

Thoughts? So it’s got a slightly different blue dial and a snazzy blue rotor with Bucherer on it, and sure it’s more exclusive but would it really be worth whatever insane premium they might or might not be asking for it? 

Only you could decide but for me – nah, I don’t think so; I’d go regular every time. But what do you think; Bucherer, MOKARRAN or DESERT
