Blancpain Bathyscaphe – a simple sport swatch

I’m a big fan of the modern Bathyscaphe case.  When the design is simple yet thoughtful -- it really shows.   The traits carry over from the 1950s original; the combination of beautifully beveled/non maxi lugs, big crown, moderate size and absence of crown guards.

The case size ~38mm (a slight up size from the original) and compact height ~10mm allows it to wear comfortably.  More like a great daily wearer than a true tool watch.

Any other sports watches that also fit the bill of “elegant” (not too thick) + “sporty” (good water resistance) that you like?  

Thanks for reading! 

PS.  It i looks good on a bracelet as well!
