A Discussion around Blancpain and the Return of the iconic 1960's inspired Bathyscaphe. Limited Edition and true to the original it aims to pay tribute to the 70th Anniversary of the Collection. I feel it is my duty to talk about it (because I am a reissue diehard) But as beautiful as this watch is, there are more than a few things to criticise. The most serious element of all though? Why the Leather Strap?
