Blancpain 5100 Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe SS Black Dial HODINKEE LIMITED

The Blancpain 5100-1130-63A Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Hodinkee Limited Edition stands as a modern tribute to one of the most storied diving watch lineages, released in 2019 in partnership with the respected watch platform Hodinkee. Limited to only 100 pieces, this exclusive edition is characterized by its sleek 38mm stainless steel case and a striking matte black dial, an homage to utilitarian underwater aesthetics refined by contemporary minimalism. The automatic Caliber 1150, with an impressive 100-hour power reserve, powers the watch—a movement known for its reliability and refined finishing, observable through a sapphire caseback. Evocative of classic mid-20th-century dive watches yet thoroughly modern in execution, the piece features a unidirectional ceramic bezel, excellent for practical timing during dives. Its 300-meter water resistance cements its status as a professional-grade diver, while the slim profile (10.7mm) ensures comfort and wearability. This Hodinkee special is highly sought-after among collectors for its rarity, understated monochrome aesthetic, vintage dimensions, and connection to both the Blancpain and Hodinkee legacies. The watch’s clean execution, coupled with historic Bathyscaphe lineage, offers a compelling proposition for both seasoned Blancpain enthusiasts and discerning collectors of limited boutique collaborations.
