I've handled the Blancpain Bathyscaphe, Rolex Submariner and quite a number of other dive watches. The Bathyscpahe is among the most gorgeous and in terms of quality and finish easily one or two notches above the Submariner.
Oh my God, Bruce!!! That piece is absolutely beautiful!! Stunning workmanship as only Blancpain know how! I'm jealous that you've had the opportunity to handle one. Great video, Bruce. :-)
Great watch review! I own this model on the bracelet for about a year. I am totally happy with it. For me it is an advantage to have a more discreet watch. The manufacture quality from Blancpain is absolutely superb. Also the beautiful Blancpain 1315 in-house caliber provides ultra high precision. Deviation is less than 2 s per day and thus one of the most accurate mechanical watches out there. The only thing that I have to criticise is the performance of date flip at midnight. The Rolex calibers do that much more precise and elegant. For all you guys who have concerns about its size with 43.6 mm in diameter: It wears much more compact since the lugs are comparatively close together. The bracelet (and I assume also the strap) folds down almost vertical and still elegant if you have a smaller wrist. I can really recommend to try it out by yourselves!
Totally👌👌👌 Rolex has fanboys and flippers/speculators but bang for buck and tech wise way ya better out there and the bathyscape is def a killer of a watch ❤️🔥
@@seanang7845but the sub looks better 🤷♂️ who care about haute horology? A watch should looks good, and rolex watches looks most of the time better, than other watches.
@@luca_trajan then buy a sub as in better looking in your opinion. So I will wear the 50 and you wear your submariner but you will always know I have a better watch ha ha
@@ryandoppelganger665 tried them both in florence. The blue one looked like a toy to me. This was amazing. The salesman told me they dont keep the 38 cause it was developed for women and nobodys buying them. I thought i would have liked the 38 since my wrist is 17 cms but, but, when i tried this on, 43mm, was just PERFECT :)
I think these pieces fall into the 'must see in person / in-the-metal' to appreciate. To me, this and the Fifty Fathoms just don't pop in video or in pictures. I would definitely like to see one in person sometime.
This watch feels like the ultimate dressy diver - very versatile. Unfortunately the bigger size was too big for my wrist while the smaller size (38mm?) felt a bit too small for a dive watch for me. I wish the lugs on the 43mm were shorter for this reason. Nice review.
On my wrist, I find the smaller indices make the watch more legible. At a gland the first thing the wearer sees is the hands. I love my 114060 SubC, but larger markers on the maxi dial, being high contrast to the deep black dial, draw the eyes attention - that's when the angle isn't showing glare of the non-AR coated crystal.
the indices of the Bathyscaphe are gorgeous isn't it. I saw my friend's the other day, beautifully finished hour indices, I have not seen a dive watch with that level of finish at that price point.
I have this piece in ceramic as well and love it but my crystal is covered in fine scratches. Do you happen to know anything about that? AR coating? I first noticed it within a couple months of purchase, had it replaced by my AD but now the second one is all scratched up too.
Would there be anyway if possible, you can do a 4 watch review? The Sub vs this Bathyscaphe vs the Original Fifty Fathoms vs the Seiko Marine Master 300m Hi Beat? That would be one killer Dive watch few. And BTW damn you, Bruce, every time I see another one of your videos I want to get another diver LOL.
This watch is seriously growing on me, especially considering the fabricated unavailability of Rolex. I wish the case had a little bit of polish rather than all brushed and a better looking steel bracelet or a deployment clasp with the leather.
Couldnt figure out how else to get ahold of you...lol.. Rob said maybe if i asked nice enough i could possibly buy an xl nick name sweat shirt 😬 to go with my t shirt😂😂👊
It´s not as prevalent as it should be because it doesn´t reflect light like a mirror and because 99,5% of the so called watch enthusiasts knowledge stretches from telling time on their Iphones 18 months ago to avidly coveting the Submariner today. I´ve been into watches for 25 years and few brands are so obsessed with quality as Blancpain thanks to Jean Claude Biver.
Spot on. I too have been into watches for >25 years, and I am rooting hard for the titanium version of the Bathyscaphe. Makes me think a lot of the great IWC Aquatimer 3536, but with a much higher level of finishing. I wish the Bathyscaphe was 1 or 2mm smaller, though I'm not sure it will prevent me from buying it.
I've actually been checking it out too. Such a high value proposition. Anyone who can sport the GST's 42 mm slightly chunky case (the titanium sure helps out a lot here) should definitely consider it and its timeless design language. You're basically getting the Sub and the Ingenieur in just one move and still have the money to take it on a holiday in Europe. And why not visit Schaffhausen while at it?
No mention of the insane accuracy? I have this identical watch and after two weeks it runs 9 seconds fast, that's +0.5 seconds per day! And Rolex likes to brag about the -2/+2 of their superlative chronometers.
do you guys honestly that scuba divers in this day and age with all these advancements in technology would use an old chronograph technology to measure their air supply xD go to any diving shop and you'll see the amount of equipment that is much more precise , easier to use even some watches that give you a small shock if its time to go up. so best thing is to change the name to chronographic watches non of the divers I know use a chronograph to tell their air time the only thing it is good for is measuring mins for tasks thats it
I think most people who are into watches realize that a "dive watch" is now more of a category of sport watch design, rather than a designation of critical equipment for SCUBA divers. (Although, functionally speaking, most luxury dive watches - such as the Bathyscaphe - meet the ISO definition of a dive watch, irrespective of what most divers actually use these days.) As such, I don't see that changing the name of the style is necessary. Similarly, I don't think we need to change the term "pilot's watch" to something else, just because pilots haven't strapped dinner-plate-sized, flieger-style watches to their wrists out of functional necessity since WWII. FYI, chronographs are stopwatches, so I'm not sure your choice of the term "chronographic" as a category for non-chronograph watches is likely to gain much traction - not that a single comment on a RUclips video was going to change the accepted nomenclature of an entire industry anyway.
There is choice between sailcloth strap (as shown), NATO-strap or bracelet. Choice is yours. But this particular strap is very impressive. No signs of anything after one year at all. And it looks amazing in person.
@@kw.7142 Oh yes, fair and important points! It is indeed super comfortable, it does not have leather so it's "green" and it's OK with water, even salty if you wash it OK. My choice over bracelet here! And I think in person that makes watch even better looking - it does have quality and secure, reassuring looks - you immediately feel THIS IS the strap!
mac daddy the Piguet based movement isn't anywhere near Rolex tough but aside from that I rather think it was designed with a more dressy aesthetic, a Blancpain with scratches and dings would look dreadful.
I'm no Seiko fanboy, however, the Blancpain is an extremely dull looking watch. I'd have a Sub over a Blancpain. The Sub is beautifully made, sadly, it is the unimaginative choice. Furthermore, both of them offer little value and are incredibly overpriced (both brands are duping your ass into paying more for the 'prestige').
@@gregorypaulbox3035 That's exactly what Seiko does with "limited editions" of watches which do not offer nothing more compared to the regular ones. Exept maybe of much, much higher price.
Received mine last Tuesday and off it went back, a little boring with those tiny hours markers and straight slab mid case. I love Blancpain but the 40mm limited edition is what we really want not these weird bathyscaphe. The38mm doesn't hack and if you go counter clockwise the second hand moves in reverse! It's a movement shared with Piguet. I'll stick with my recent Starbucks, explorer 226570, new Sub NO date, Glashutte sea q rose gold, etc. until Blancpain puts more effort or offer the real divers I'm not buying, these really don't move much trust me I know.
What’s beautiful about it ? I would take the normal fifty fathoms or the normal sub anytime any day ... the sub with the polished sides is much more elegant and expensive looking ... and the movement is not sturdy ... so yeah 100 hours is nicer but it’s basically a dress watch movement that will break quite a lot ... one pays for the name only :(
What is so beautiful about Rolex? You see them everywhere and all the cheap brands make their own versions of the sub. It's nice to finally have something different being reviewed.
yeah u will talk to them a lot .. and each visit will cost you 1.2 k dollars every four years .. and the bracelet is 3 fuckin k ... are u fucking kidding me for that money I will get a brand new omega 300 m which has a better movement lol ... like I am sorry but this is why this shitter on a gray market costs what it should be 8.5 k euro ... exactly as much as the hulk ... but the hulk is a hulk and this is a shit watch
I think sub, date just 41 , Daytona are all as nice as overseas and royal oak .. I really do ... just when u take one in ur hands u feel the quality ... and I like the normal fifty fathoms a lot ... but at this size ... u have to be a multi milliner on a yacht in summer time to pull it off... its just too big .. and going back to Rolex ... well yeah u do see them a lot ... but so do u see a lot of 911 or the Mercedes s class ... I guess if u need a rolls Royce of watches then it would be the patek 5180/1R ... but I don't need such a watch as a daily sport watch ..
and I agree with you I love hearing bruces opinions and watching his reviews .. I just love it. and as a matter of fact I love this watch ... its shit but I still think its even worth getting ...especially the 38 mm version ..but again .. this watch is for collectors ... not a must have one ... I still think they could make it 40 instead of 38 or whatever size this one is ... just like blancpain could start making again its best watches - Leman collection ... or the master control could be improved etc etc ... or moser and chi could start making cool watches etc etc etc... these brands are so bad in doing business and creating great products ... they all need a Steve jobs type of person who would just take away all the shit products and focus on their good 4-6 watches ...
I know it's an iconic watch from a horologically significant brand, but this watch does not appeal to me at all. It looks plain, and frankly, kinda cheap. Maybe seeing one in the metal will change my mind.
The hour markers are too small. The dial appears boring because there is too much free space due to the undersized hour markers. The full size fifty fathoms looks much better because the hour markers fill the dial.

Great looking piece! the movement is absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely like to see one of those on my wrist!
Amazing brand and amazing watch!
Beautiful watch! Great video and still shots. I like the coins on the table. Great historic piece!
Wow, I'd love one. In a world full of Subs, so gorgeous, so under the radar...
Thank you for sharing your watch Danny and thank you Bruce for such an amazing review :)
Jeffrey Wood You’re welcome 👍

Nice, understated watch, beautiful dial. Price is insane. Good job, Bruce
Ughh that would be a perfect one watch daily wearer
As an owner I can definitively say all my other watches hate it.
I like Blancpain, one of my favorite brands. We should see more of it on You Tube. Thank you for this video sir. 👍
Great movement, great rotor, and so on - a fantastic watch - except the date.
That watch on a nato is perfection.
I have this watch in black ceramic and absolutely love it. Nice review
I have this piece in ceramic as well and love it but my crystal is covered in fine scratches. Do you happen to know anything about that? AR coating? I first noticed it within a couple months of purchase, had it replaced by my AD but now the second one is all scratched up too.
Thanks for review, Bruce, it's good as always.
This B B has two drawbacks for me: tiny markers, and high price. I'll stick to seiko this time.
Also the date window position.

Irving Escobar 45mm lol
Are you 6”8 365? no need to go over a 42 ever, for any human
@@aceburgers8801 the 43mm bathyscaphe doesn't wear that big imo, could pass as a 41-42mm watch due to the relatively slim lugs and no crown guards.
This watch is seriously growing on me, especially considering the fabricated unavailability of Rolex. I wish the case had a little bit of polish rather than all brushed and a better looking steel bracelet or a deployment clasp with the leather.
The bracelet for this watch is impressive, if you can get one..
Love this design and the dial is gorgeous. A bit outside my price point at the moment.
Impressive watch. Impressive video.
How do you get so many varieties of watches to review! :)
Fifty Fathoms Automatique is my dream watch, which has a white, orange testing circle on the dial!
that's the tribute to Mil-Spec model which is vastly different to the Bathyscaphe. That one is gorgeous as well but significantly pricier though.
I love this watch! Can’t decide if I go for the black, blue or green dial 🤷🏼🤩I need the ceramic version though 🫣
I get the blue ceramic with the sail cloth strap. Even the pin buckle is ceramic. It’s stunning 🤩
I love it but those tiny hour markers create too much negative space
Would be nice to see a factory bracelet with this peice
How does the lume compare to a Sub?
Gonna get this for my 40th birthday present to myself.
It’s beautiful however I don’t know if it may be a little big for my tastes ...
Love the second hand, face, and crown... dislike the date window and the minute markers could be slightly larger relative to the large face space.
Very impressive watch
That is a beautiful watch, under the radar is good!!
The lume is so cool. The gold version of this is my grail watch. But I like all the versions of it.

Why same reference numbers got different luminescence? Some are green and some are blue, but it’s exactly same watch….
No thanks. Love my Subs... Great presentation Bruce, as usual...
Fifty shades of gray.
The rotating bezel action (feel/sound) on these Bathyscaphe definitely don't feel refined.
It felt refined when I tried it.
That is beautiful!
Stunning.
Nice Watch but the originale fathoms Is Legend....Good review!
Guys is this 5000 1230?
great content!
How awesome it is.
Beautiful watch. The indices are a touch too small, which has put me off buying, every time I look at a new review they seem even smaller.
Sharp watch...nothing beats the Submariner though in my opinion...!!!
Very nice watch but it is to expensive (Like all watches from Blancpain). 5-6 k would bei OK....
Stunner
Cheers!!
I prefer the Blancpain fifty fathoms. It’s more of a submariner look. Just better quality all round.
The sub is more of a fifty fathoms look than the other way around;)
Great watch but normal full size Fifty would be my choice.
No mention of the insane accuracy? I have this identical watch and after two weeks it runs 9 seconds fast, that's +0.5 seconds per day! And Rolex likes to brag about the -2/+2 of their superlative chronometers.

Honestly, for a $10K watch the finishing of the case leaves a lot to improve.
there's nothing wrong with the finish of the case, it's actually well finished. Videos and photos don't do the watch justice.
