Blancpain, renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and innovation, has introduced the Fifty Fathoms Full Calendar Deep Dive watch with an all-ceramic bracelet. This watch not only stands out due to its exceptional engineering but also due to the multiple functionalities it offers on its dial.
The dial prominently features a window at the 12 o’clock position displaying the day and month, while the sub-dial at the 6 o’clock position elegantly showcases the moon phase, adorned with Blancpain’s signature moon face motif.
The ceramic bracelet is a complex project that surpasses the intricacies of a typical watch case. The material is highly durable, scratch-resistant, and hypoallergenic, achieving a hardness nearly five times that of stainless steel and four times that of grade 5 titanium. Despite its robustness, the ceramic is about 25% lighter than steel, offering both comfort and resilience.
With a 43.6mm brushed case paired with a sleek black ceramic bezel, the watch houses the automatic 6654.P movement which boasts a 72-hour (3-day) power reserve. The difficulty in crafting the ceramic bracelet results in limited production, making each piece a rare gem.
