Blancpain’s Ocean Commitment Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback has impeccable eco credentials

Diving watches Blancpain’s Ocean Commitment program has to date protected more than 2.2 million sq km of ocean, including the world’s largest single marine reserve. With the launch of the limited-edition Ocean Commitment Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback, Blancpain offers clients the opportunity to become an active member of the Blancpain Ocean Commitment Circle and $1,100 will be donated to support scientific ocean expeditions for each of the 250 pieces. While respecting Blancpain’s diving watch heritage, this watch includes the company’s newest in-house movement, the F385, and adds functionality to the watch while diving thanks to innovative sealed chronograph pushers that allow the use of the flyback chronograph to depths of 300m. $20,200, blancpain.com
