Blancpain Models. Since the 2006 launch of the women collection all the ladies moon phases models feature a female face adorned with a star shaped beauty mark. It comes with a choice of a blue nato textile strap or a blue canvas strap.
New colours in the bathyscaphe line. The new blancpain fifty fathoms bathyscaphe sedna combines a blue dial and bezel with a sedna gold case for the first time. Blancpain subtly and constantly reinterprets this collection which has a contemporary aspect while preserving its emblematic aesthetic codes.
The quantième complet and the ultraplate.
The blancpain palette ranges from the markedly technological style of a flyback chronograph to decorative models with engraved landscape scenes on the dial. In the 1980s blancpain updated the moon phase indication which has since become a signature of the manufacture and gradually became distinctive thanks to the smiling face of its moon. For 2020 blancpain reworks its villeret ultraplate family with the incorporation of four new 38mm models two in steel and two in red gold with subtle design modifications on the dial. A good friend at blancpain once explained to me the distinction between the main collection aesthetic of the fifty fathoms collection and that of its sub collection the bathyscaphe models that the fifty fathoms is a dive watch that you can wear every day and the bathyscaphe is an everyday watch that you can wear diving.
