The bezel has a ceramic insert – again, from a practicality standpoint this is an excellent choice, especially for salt water immersion. As you'd expect from what, its surprisingly discreet demeanor notwithstanding, is definitely a luxury dive watch, operating the bezel is both link smooth and precise; there's just enough resistance link to give you tactile feedback as to bezel position, and marker link positioning is spot on. Blancpain really nailed the haptics of bezel operation very well in the Bathyscaphe.

Nowadays this era of Blancpain sits firmly in the so-called "neo-vintage" category. Much of the collector interest in this category comes from an appreciation for the first era of independent watchmakers that struck out on their own Daniel Roth Franck Muller link Roger Dubuis and others. Hell we've taken the last couple "Vintage Watches" columns link to tell you link about 1990s Roger Dubuis and Michel Parmigiani's Parmigiaini Fleurier.
