About this piece
A tool watch built with real dive-watch pedigree, the Bathyscaphe pairs a satin-brushed grey ceramic case with a deep blue ceramic bezel insert — a material combination chosen for the same reason it's used in dive gear: it doesn't scratch, fade, or corrode. The metallic blue sunburst dial and Liquidmetal bezel markings keep it legible at depth, while the in-house Caliber 1315 delivers a genuinely serious five-day power reserve on a silicon balance spring that shrugs off magnetic fields. Retailing new for $16,700 USD, this example is offered pre-owned in Very Good condition — a watch that's been worn and enjoyed, and clearly well cared for, not a shelf piece.

"Some watches are made to be looked at. This one was made to go somewhere — ceramic that won't scratch, a spring that won't flinch at a magnet, and five days of running time so it's still keeping pace long after the dive log closes."
