Earlier this year, Revolution magazine introduced a limited edition 38mm Bathyscaphe with a different dial as a tribute to the 1953 original. This is however the first 38mm Bathyscaphe being added to Blancpain's core collection. Not only is the case smaller in diameter at 38mm instead of 43mm, it's also much thinner, coming in at 10.77mm instead of 13.4mm. It's worth noting that this isn't an entirely new case for Blancpain – it's been used in the Fifty Fathoms collection before, but only for pieces marketed to women.
The movement powering the watch is the caliber 1150, which is an automatic movement with a 100-hour power reserve.
