The watch features a 43mm satin-brushed steel case, a slate grey sun-brushed dial with a triple calendar moonphase, and the automatic caliber 6654.P movement, which provides a 72-hour power reserve. Some owners find the moon phase complication enjoyable, though one acknowledges it is complex for a sole timepiece. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Blancpain Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune for its unique aesthetic and practical complications.

Owners praise the Kobold Soarway Diver Seal for its attractive design, particularly with upgraded dials, and its lightweight titanium construction, noting it offers better wrist balance and superior overall construction. One owner found the ivory dial a bit pale but transformed its appearance with a brown leather strap. However, owners report persistent issues with the watch repeatedly stopping, with one instance of the second hand appearing to contact the minute hand, a problem that persisted even after a warranty replacement. Additionally, company owner's business practices and communication issues lead to extremely long service and repair times. Overall, owners rate the Kobold Soarway Diver Seal highly for its design and construction, though persistent mechanical issues and service concerns are significant drawbacks.
