Let's take a closer look atfull review of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Flyback chronograph, also known as the "Blancpain Ocean Commitment".

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Flyback Chronograph Review

The luminous blue sunray dial of the blue Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Flyback chronograph (model # 5200-0240-52a) is probably the first thing that catches your eye, but the brushed black ceramic bezel and case also have a magnetic appeal. Blancpain filled the bezel with a highly scratch-resistant blue ceramic inlay and used Liquidmetal® on the bezel's markings to fuse them seamlessly into the ceramic material.

In addition to ceramic materials that are highly scratch-resistant and corrosion-resistant, Blancpain also uses an antimagnetic silicone mainspring. Such features have gained popularity among high-end Swiss watchmakers such as Rolex with its Parachrom Bleu and Omega with its Si 14 silicon springs. The use of this material makes the thin mainspring more resistant not only to shock, but also to EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies found around all electronic devices such as smartphones, computer monitors and many other consumer electronics).

At the heart of this beautiful Blancpain chronograph lies the 37-jewel Blancpain Caliber F385 movement. This automatic movement, consisting of 322 parts, has a remarkable power reserve of approximately 50 hours. Another interesting feature is how the chronograph is reset. Instead of having to stop and restart the stopwatch function, the chronograph can be instantly restarted with the touch of a button thanks to the Flyback function. There is a small seconds subdial just below the 6 position; The chronograph's 30-minute counter and 12-hour counter subdials can be seen at the 3 and 9 positions.

Review of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Flyback Chronograph / Blancpain Ocean Commitment watch

As a reflection of Blancpain's unwavering commitment to protecting and preserving the world's oceans, this watch had to be something special; hence the rotor depicts the Ocean Commitment world logo. Blancpain stepped into the production of diving watches in the early 1950s by launching its first diver's watch.

When each of the limited edition watches, produced in just 250 units, is sold, 1,000 euros are donated to organizations dedicated to the protection and conservation of the world's oceans; thus the total donations from this series alone reach 250,000 Euros. The main beneficiaries of the Blancpain Ocean Commitment Bathyscaphe are Laurent Ballesta's Gambessa Projects and National Geographic Pristine Seas Expeditions. In fact, the limited edition 43mm Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Flyback chronograph and Blancpain Ocean Commitment is such a big deal that it comes with its own limited edition and numbered book, “Fifty Fathoms The Dive and Watch History 1953-2013.” Each of these books is numbered to match the serial number of the particular watch. Not only will this watch look great on your wrist, but the book will look great on your personal library or coffee table!
