What to know

Blancpain's seventieth-anniversary Bathyscaphe recaptures the compact form of a 1968 skin diver. Its 37.4 mm steel case, sunburst meteor-grey dial and chocolate leather strap give the watch a deliberately period-conscious character.

Inside, the Calibre 1150 automatic movement delivers around 100 hours of reserve, while the contemporary case maintains 300-metre water resistance. The special edition is limited to 300 pieces.
