Here comes the big one. With is 45mm Speed Command Chronograph, Blancpain has introduced its sportiest watch so far. Made of brushed steel with Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating, the watch’s case houses ultra-thin self-winding automatic chronograph movement, caliber F185, with flyback function and 40-hour power reserve.

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