Black ceramic meets gold on Bianchet's tonic: the UltraFino Tonneau
Bianchet has extended the UltraFino Tonneau family with a black ceramic-and-gold variation, the latest material play for the independent introduced in 2025. As Monochrome Watches first reported, this is another step away from the original Grade 5 titanium case that launched the model.
Where this sits in the lineup
The UltraFino Tonneau was notable at launch for several reasons: it was Bianchet’s first ultra-thin watch, their first automatic movement and their first integrated-bracelet design. The new black ceramic-and-gold iteration sits alongside prior experiments in sapphire crystal and carbon fibre, plus a Maserati-branded edition released since launch.
Material strategy, not just a colour swap
Bianchet has been methodical about material choices across the UltraFino range. The move to black ceramic and gold signals a continued focus on contrasting surfaces and premium accents rather than a straight line extension of the titanium original. Earlier this year the marque also introduced white and deep-blue variants, further emphasising variety over a single signature look.
Concrete fact: the UltraFino launched in 2025 as Bianchet’s first ultra-thin, first automatic and first integrated-bracelet model.
What to watch for next
There are no new technical claims attached to this release in the report — the story is about materials and positioning. Expect Bianchet to keep rolling out variants that highlight a different material or finish as the primary differentiator. For buyers, this is a clear signal: chose the material that matches your intent (sport-leaning carbon, crisp titanium, or a dressier ceramic-and-gold hybrid).
As an editorial forecast: this release strengthens the case that Bianchet intends the UltraFino platform as a testbed for materials more than as a single definitive design. That makes the model interesting for collectors who prioritise variety and material contrasts over a single canonical reference.
