Blancpain: Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback Green Dial

After interpretations in black,  grey and blue, the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback now appears in a new version adorned in green from dial to bezel. 

Dozens of steps are required to achieve a perfect colour and finish. Once the initial phases devoted to the shape and apertures have been completed, the dial is polished in two stages: the first to remove scratches; and the second to obtain a soft, smooth appearance. This is followed by a series of processes designed to give the surface a special texture, including a sunburst effect that endows the dial with a pattern of lines radiating from the centre. The chronograph counters are then hollowed out and snailed to create greater overall depth. The highly technical colouring process can now begin. The dial is coated with several nanometric layers of material. Transformed by the surface, rays of light reflect the desired hue. The dial of the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback can then reveal its subtle shades of green which change according to the angle of illumination, sometimes taking on metallic shades. 

Inside the 43.6 mm black ceramic case, the in-house caliber F385 moves the hour and minute hands and the chronograph with flyback function. Also visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the self-winding movement with 50 hours of power reserve, allow each second to be divided into 1/10 intervals.

The new Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Chronograph Flyback comes with a NATO or sail canvas strap. (Price € 16.240)
