Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe 43mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 43 mm case size

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe 43mm measures 49.8 mm lug-to-lug on a 43 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.16 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 81% of the 7,413 watches in this database and longer than 65% of the 68 Blancpain watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 56 mm (2.20 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 67 mm (2.64 in) it starts to look compact. Below 49.8 mm (1.96 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
