Introducing The Blancpain Bathyscaphe Chronograph Flyback AND The New High-Beat Caliber F385 (Which Might Actually Be The Real Story Here)
This year at BaselWorld, Blancpain followed up last year's Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe (HODINKEE "A Week On The Wrist" review here) with a chronograph in a similar form. That's cool and all, but to me the most interesting aspect of this watch is not the available fully ceramic case, or the NATO with ridiculously hardcore hardware, or the general sleekness of the end product. Nay – the most interesting part of this new Bathyscaphe is actually what's inside.

Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary
Hey,Just wondering what are peoples' thought about this watch (ref 311.30.42.30.01.001). Perosnally I think the normal speedy is superior but would like a second opinon.

Is this true?For those who considered this watch but brought the normal speedy, what factor made you change your mind?Vice versa for those who own this watch, what made you choose this over the normal speedy?Here are some pics of the 50th Anniversary. Here are the normal speedy one
