There was also a scaled-down version called the Bathyscaphe, named after the manned submersible of the Swiss explorer-diver Auguste Piccard. More recently, Blancpain has revived the Bathyscaphe nomenclature, offering an entire line of sophisticated divers that pay homage to their vintage counterparts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular Bathyscaphe from the 2010s is a burly, no-nonsense diver with a gorgeous dial — the type of watch you can wear on a dive and, and then straight to drinks or dinner. Housed in a 43.6mm ceramic case with a sapphire crystal, a signed ceramic crown, and a unidirectional dive bezel with a blue, ceramic insert, it features a sunburst blue dial with applied, luminous indices, a matching ‘syringe’ handset, an outer minute track, and a date window at 4:30. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePowered by automatic Blancpain Calibre 1315 movement — which is visible via a sapphire caseback — it comes paired to a signed, blue textile leather strap with a signed ceramic pin buckle.
