Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Black Ceramic Black Dial 5000-0130-B52A

This 2021 example pairs a fully satin-finished black ceramic case with a deep glossy black dial and black ceramic bezel, offered in excellent pre-owned condition as a complete set with original box, papers, hangtag, and Fifty Fathoms Diver's Logbook.

Technical Description

The 43mm case is crafted entirely from satin-brushed black ceramic — incredibly lightweight, virtually scratchproof, and built to age beautifully. A unidirectional black ceramic bezel sits flush with the case, anchored by a luminous diamond at 12 and crisp white minute markers through the first 15 minutes for genuine dive functionality. The glossy black dial is pure stealth, with applied luminous dot and baton indices, sword-style hands filled with generous Super-LumiNova, and a clean date window at 3. The signature red-tipped seconds hand is the only color on the dial — the perfect dose of Fifty Fathoms DNA against an otherwise all-black canvas.


Powering the watch is Blancpain's in-house automatic Calibre 1315, a high-grade movement featuring three series-coupled barrels for a 5-day power reserve, a silicon balance spring for anti-magnetic performance, and beautiful finishing visible through the sapphire caseback. The watch is fitted on a Blancpain black sailcloth-style strap with grey contrast stitching, paired to the ceramic case for a contemporary, sporty wrist character that wears equally well with a wetsuit or a suit.
