Description

Now, almost 70 years later, the Bathyscaphe is getting a ceramic update with the new Bathyscaphe Quantième Complete Phases de Lune in black ceramic.

This is the first time that the complete calendar with moonphase has been presented in a ceramic case.

The fact it’s made from high tech ceramic. This means that the case is very durable and scratch resistant with a colour that will not fade. That colour is specifically black with a brushed finish that makes it appear to shimmer with a silver sheen in certain lighting.

Looking to the dial, it features blue sunray brushed finishing with black hands and hour markers. The moonphase complication at 6 o’clock has a dark blue background adorned with a silver moon featuring a face depiction. In a similar style to the ceramic of the case, the moon appears to shift and change depending on the lighting (it can be quite tricky to see at times) which adds to the mystical allure. Elsewhere on the dial, there’s days and months windows below 12 o’clock and a pointer date function running around the inside of the hour scale.

Powering all the Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune in ceramic’s complications is the calibre 6654.P4. It’s an automatic movement with a double barrel system providing a power reserve of 72 hours. Plus, the silicon balance spring provides good magnetic field resistance.
