The Blancpain Speed Command Chronograph timepiece is water-resistant to 300 meters and features a bidirectional “countdown” type rotating bezel made of black sapphire.

The watch’s hour, minute and second hands, though thin, are clad with ultra-bright red Superluminova applications so there won’t be too much problems with legibility in the dark.
