Blancpain’s New Watch Explores the Dark Side of the Lune

Swiss watchmakers love nothing more than doing things just to prove they can be done. The new Blancpain Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune, a professional-spec diver’s watch with a dial that displays the time, day, date, and phases of the moon, is a perfect example of the lengths they’ll go to push the envelope. The watch (like every other Blancpain Bathyscaphe) is rated to 300 metres underwater, a depth that only a few of the most serious divers will ever visit, and the standard for high-end diver’s watches.
