Ti Bathyscaphe with new, brushed dial?
I don't remember seeing this dial before. I think this marks a return for the titanium Bathyscaphe too (if this is true). ...
I hope this might be the first of several new watches
Keeping my fingers crossed. I don't mind the case size but a no-date like the Mokarran and a new style bracelet (I don't like the X70) would be great, imo. I like this dial and it's nice to have other options but Blancpain is about sun-ray dials for me.
I like the move to titanium, but the vertical-brushed dial and 4:30 date isn’t for me.
It’s a move in the right direction, though. Thanks for sharing
Too similar to the steel version I feel
I may go for the standard FF in that case. It fits a 17cm wrist neatly due to the short lugs.
I like it! I'm not running out to the AD with cash in hand but it seems like a nice addition.
FWIW, I was chatting with an SA at the boutique yesterday and he said something like 2/3 of their sales are from China and they are killing it there. I wouldn't be surprised if bringing back the ti case and adding a new dial does really well in that marke...
Its a fake
Can t benieve it s real. It s a fake, photoshop artist. There is no way blancpain who is outsourcing their dials making would commit to this ugly model. Taste is a rare commodity it seems.
I was wondering...
...when you would comment. Wish you could tell us about other models too!
Dials are made by a Swatch Group sister company…
… with the exception of the Metiers d‘Art dials which are made 100% in the Le Brassus farmhouse. Cheers Henrik
It is the new Bathyscaphe Titanium ref 5000-1210 and there are three configurations…
… on sailcloth (shown on the Instagram photo), on titanium bracelet (X-71 style) and on Nato: It is a regular collection model and available immediately. Cheers Henrik ...
I thought that X-71 was a typo...
...and it's supposed to be X-70...but I checked your blog and it IS the X-71?!?! It sounds like you haven't seen it yet? Together with the grade 23 Titanium...that is sounding very interesting! As you say, curious to see how they make an X-71 style (98S) ...
I likey!
I always liked the Bathyscaphe but never the X-70 bracelet. This one looks really nice (and we know that it looks great on the Nato too - which isn't the case for all watches). Also great to hear that it's a non-LE!
