Blancpain

Hey gents, I'm trying to ID the following watch. It looks to me like one of the many Blancpain variations, but I'm not certain. I'm very familiar with the Fifty Fathoms and TR-900 models, but this looks to have a smaller case, numerals @ 12, and triangula...  

Looks like it could be the Bathyscaphe? Opinions welcome! Thanks again, B.

Yes , to me it looks like the Bathyscaphe watch . With the number 12 and follow by the triangle for all the 3 corner at 3-6-9 o'clock position . Sorry if my explanation is not correct .

Sorry to not be able to help you, Billy, but when it comes to small FF cases, I am lost. Best, Nicolas

Numerals at 12, triangular markers at 3 / 6 / 9, small case ... seems to match perfectly, as does the timeline for photo and watch. Kind regards, B. ...  

Here are a few Bathys I found on the net... From our regretted Bruyeron... Best, Nicolas ...  

The small case Blancpains are a minefield and have there seem to be a huge number of variants. I'm delighted to have figured this one out; very cool to know the US military were using yet another variant of the BP. Kind regards, B.

Photo is from the early 1960s. Kind regards, B. ...  

Is from the late '50's. Brian
