The Blancpain Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback (Ref. 5200-0130-B52A) delivers a bold, stealthy presence with its full-black ceramic construction and high-performance chronograph movement. Designed for professional divers and horology enthusiasts alike, this timepiece merges contemporary aesthetics with Blancpain’s legacy in underwater innovation.

Housed in a 43.6mm satin-brushed black ceramic case, the watch is exceptionally scratch-resistant, lightweight, and hypoallergenic. The matte black dial offers a sleek, minimalist look with three chronograph subdials and a date window positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock. Super-LumiNova® filled hands and indexes ensure optimal readability in all lighting conditions, including the deep sea.

A black ceramic unidirectional bezel surrounds the dial, marked with Liquidmetal® numerals and indicators for long-term legibility and durability. The watch is paired with a black sail-canvas strap, offering rugged versatility, water resistance, and a comfortable fit for both diving and daily wear.

Powering this model is the Blancpain Caliber F385, a high-frequency (5 Hz) in-house automatic chronograph movement. Featuring a flyback function, column wheel, and vertical clutch, this caliber allows for smooth and instant reset-restart operation. With a 50-hour power reserve and visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the movement showcases meticulous finishing and a gold rotor engraved with the Blancpain logo.
