Not keen on the idea of Ceramic cases, but still think that's the mutt's nuts.
Wasn't sure about the combination of grey dial and blue case when I first saw it, but love it now.
They didn't put a price up in the article. Any idea what this will be retailing for?Originally Posted by jeepie

I love the colour and the look ,probably expensive though
The blue looks fantastic. I have the 'vanilla' 3 hand steel Bathyscape and the build quality, dial and movement are exceptional. But these are watches to buy second hand when their eye watering RRP have been somewhat clipped!
Mine is on the Blancpain NATO and I enquired about the new X-70 bracelet out of curiousity. Two and a half thousand pounds!
Probably looks pretty good in person but for me I think I'll file that one in the strange bucket.
proby24 - if you do source a bracelet in future and want to move the Nato on please let me know.
Is this the rise of ceramic cases? There are a number of manufacturers using it now. This is a very nice watch indeed, the colours work beautifully but I wonder how a bracelet would work with that and what colour and material it is.
Those keepers looks awfully familiar...
The steel cased version is around the £10K mark (rrp), so guessing in the £15k region.
Unfortunately the pre-owned examples of the Chrono are currently like hens teeth, so probably best to go grey.
Price added – $20.1K, with a $1K donation by Blancpain to marine conservation.
£16.5K Yikes!!

By comparison, how much was AP’s Ceramic Diver, the 15707…£18.5-20K?
Hublot’s Ltd Ed Ceramic Meca-10 is ~$20K – so the price is pretty much in line with those others, as far as case material goes.
Not sure about those nipples -.-"
But I find the buckle strangely alluring.
Fantastic movement and LE run of 250 aswell.
I'd rather spend that on a Rindt Autavia.
Why bother making the watch nice and neat and mostly symmetrical and then stick the date there?
"A man of little significance"
They have now added the price to the article- US$20,100.
I think it's a great looking watch but a lot of change @$20k.
I love it, sadly the bank manager doesn't...
Lovely!
Didn't think the blue would work but it does, looks good - think I'd still like to see some real life wrist shots when it's released in case it looks a bit plasticky though.
Wow that is one stunning watch! Just gone to the top of my very long list
Apart from the movement, it still looks like a catalogue-component microbrand mess.
It'll be forgotten soon enough.
I think it looks great, love the blue.
20k!!! The price of ceramic watches seems to be going into gold watch territory these days.

I was looking at farm kids posting on respect the bling, and 9k for a solid gold DD Rolex looks awesome "value" in comparison to this, admittedly, beautiful watch

Sorry, I think it looks awful.
All that blue stuff didn't do to well for UN, at least not on the second hand market.
Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
I wonder what it would look like with the case in black and only the bezel/sub dials in blue. Anyone good in photoshop?

The original Ocean Commitment from around 2014 with grey Ceramic case
That's nice as well.
