Fifty Fathoms – a passion for the underwater world Presented in a 43.6mm titanium case Powered by the F385 automatic movement Equipped with a flyback chronograph complication Water resistant to 30 bar (300 metres) INSPIRED BY THE FIRST MODERN DIVER’S WATCH This spirited collection embodies Blancpain’s passion for the underwater world, originating from the presentation of the first modern diver’s watch in 1953. Today, the collection retains the core signature elements that established the legendary model as the archetypal diver’s watch, updated with innovative materials and new technical solutions to push boundaries and meet even the most sophisticated diver’s needs. HIGH PRECISION PERFORMANCE This Bathyscaphe model is housed in a 43.6mm titanium case – a material first used by the brand in the early 1960s for a special series of MIL-SPEC II models made for the US Navy bomb disposal teams. The use of this metal ensures the watch remains lightweight, whilst also delivering high resistance to shock, pressure, and corrosion. The striking green dial is equipped with three chronograph sub-dials, a date display, and white luminescent hands and hour markers, framed by a satin-brushed titanium unidirectional bezel with a brushed green ceramic insert. The flyback chronograph complication measures a succession of elapsed times, eliminating the need for repetitive operations A black sail-canvas strap offers an additional nod to the timepiece’s rich ocean heritage, while power and precision are provided by the F385 automatic movement. A 50-hour power reserve and water resistance to 30 bar (300 metres) ensure impeccable performance in all conditions.
