THE MOONPHASE COMPLICATION may be considered feminine due to its delicate aesthetic and association with women, but Blancpain's Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune is most certainly a statement of refined masculinity. With its assertive black ceramic case and newly designed bracelet, this rugged new diver isn't merely an accessory; it's a bold declaration of style and substance, perfect for the modern man who navigates the corporate boardroom as skilfully as he does the open sea. Quantième Complet, or complete calendar, tracks not just the passing of time, but also the day, date, month and phases of the moon.

It was back in 1953 that Blancpain revolutionised the diving world with the Fifty Fathoms, the first true diver's watch, crafted to meet the exacting needs of professional divers. This timepiece wasn't just about telling time underwater. It was also about reliability and precision in the most challenging environments. The Bathyscaphe debuted three years later in 1956, a sleeker version designed for everyday wear while retaining the robust features that made the Fifty Fathoms a legend. Fast-forward to today, Blancpain continues to honour this heritage with the new Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune, blending historic design with modern sophistication.

First, let's talk aesthetics.
