BLANCPAIN FIFTY FATHOMS BATHYSCAPHE MOKARRAN LIMITED EDITION

Adding to a life filled with high-adrenalin adventures are the dive watches — a perfect amalgamation of sports and science. Divers depend on reliable dive watches more than they do on chance. And you need both when you are exploring the deep seas.

From Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Mokarran Limited Edition to Panerai's Submersible Marina Militare Carbotech, technologically advanced timepieces have been providing an immersive experience, quite literally to divers around the globe.

BLANCPAIN HAS introduced the latest version of the Bathyscaphe, and this stunning dive watch is dedicated to protecting the great hammerhead shark. The watch, limited to only 50 pieces, supports conservation efforts to protect the endangered species. The tropical green dial gives the watch a distinctive personality and brings out in the open its chromatic reflections, courtesy its sunburst finish. This vibrant colour magnifies the admirable aesthetic elements of the Bathyscaphe like its baton-type hands and geometric hour-markers coated in luminescent material. The Mokarran Protection Society — which aims to study and protect the great hammerhead shark — inspired the creation of the new and special Bathyscaphe Mokarran Limited Edition. The unidirectional rotating bezel integrates green ceramic insert matching the dial. The 43.6mmdiameter case is water-resistant up to 300 metres and is made of satin-finished black ceramic. Powered by calibre 1318, the 50 pieces are all individually numbered.
