UltraFino Tonneau Full Ceramic
Bianchet has introduced new iterations of its UltraFino Tonneau, now crafted entirely from high-tech ceramic in either deep blue or white. These models retain the original's ultra-thin, tonneau-shaped case and integrated bracelet design, featuring an openworked dial that showcases the proprietary UT01 automatic flying tourbillon movement.

- Movement is 3.85mm thick and weighs 8 grams, with a 60-hour power reserve.
- Water resistance is rated at 50 meters.
- Integrated bracelet is made from matching high-tech ceramic.
- Priced at CHF 72,500 (excluding taxes).
- Part of the permanent collection, not limited editions.
The UltraFino Tonneau was Bianchet's first ultra-thin model, first self-winding watch, and first timepiece with an integrated bracelet.
The ceramic case's combination of satin-brushed surfaces and polished bevels helps to provide definition and prevent a overly clinical appearance.
The Deep Blue edition features a black PVD treatment for the movement's bridges and plates, while the White edition uses a cobalt blue PVD treatment.
The UT01 movement is capable of withstanding shocks up to 5,000 G, a notable resilience for its thin and light construction.
The UT01 calibre is constructed from titanium and features a suspended mainspring barrel and a one-minute tourbillon cage measuring 2.66mm.
Each watch includes an additional rubber strap, black for the Deep Blue Ceramic and cobalt blue for the White Ceramic, in addition to the ceramic bracelet.
