The Fifty Fathoms Automatique collection exudes timeless sophistication.
IN the world of luxury timepieces, few names evoke the same sense of awe and admiration as Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms collection. For over seven decades, this iconic line has shown the brand’s unwavering passion for the underwater world. In 1953, Blancpain introduced the Fifty Fathoms, the first true diver's watch— a symbol of innovation and precision in the domain of timekeeping. Now, in 2024, it presents the latest addition to its extensive collection - the Fifty Fathoms Automatique models in a sleek 42.3mm-diameter size.
This follows the debut of the first case in steel during last year's Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 1 limited edition, now expanding to include options in red gold and titanium within the current collection.
At Blancpain, innovation isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental guiding principle ingrained in the brand’s DNA. The Fifty Fathoms collection epitomises this commitment, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with timeless elegance to create timepieces that are as functional as they are stylish.
A legacy of excellence
From the depths of the ocean to the heights of technical mastery, the Fifty Fathoms has been a constant companion for those who dare to explore. Born out of a diver's necessity for a reliable timekeeping instrument, it quickly became the go-to choice for professional divers and combat diver corps around the world.
Blancpain president and chief executive officer Marc A. Hayek revitalised the Fifty Fathoms in 2003, ushering it into the 21st century, and further commemorated its legacy with the launch of the 45mm Fifty Fathoms Automatique in 2007.
Its robust design, water resistance, and luminous indicators made it an indispensable tool for divers on their underwater missions.
Craftsmanship meets precision
At the core of the Fifty Fathoms Automatique lies the powerful, high-performance calibre 1315, a masterpiece of engineering that ensures precision timekeeping and a remarkable 120-hour power reserve.
Encased in Grade 23 titanium or 18ct red gold, each timepiece is a work of art, meticulously crafted to blend style with substance.
The Fifty Fathoms Automatique boasts a sapphire bezel, a Blancpain signature feature, ensuring unparalleled durability and readability in even the most challenging conditions. The inclusion of a silicon hairspring enhances its resistance to magnetic fields, while the stop seconds function allows for precise time adjustments. Additionally, the luminescent oversized indices and contrasting dark dial ensure effortless readability, whether in broad daylight or murky depths.
The 18k red gold oscillating weight adds exquisite detail to the 42mm Fifty Fathoms Automatique.
Aesthetics allure
Beyond its technical prowess, the Fifty Fathoms Automatique captivates with its exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The allure of gold exudes elegance, while Grade 23 titanium imbues a sporty aesthetic, renowned for its lightweight, scratch-resistant, and corrosion-resistant properties, alongside being hypoallergenic.
Among others, the see-through sapphire crystal case back offers a glimpse into the beautifully hand-decorated movement, showcasing the artistry that lies within.
The automatic 18k red gold oscillating weight, coated with NAC, pays homage to the original Fifty Fathoms rotor, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity.
Available in both Grade 23 titanium and 18ct red gold cases, with sunburst black or blue dials, the Fifty Fathoms Automatique offers a myriad of options to suit the preference of its customers. From the sleek sophistication of the black dial to the timeless elegance of the blue, each variant exudes a distinct charm, perfectly complementing the wearer’s individual style.
The timepiece also comes with a wide choice of straps, available in matching colours, ranging from sail-canvas to Nato, and a tropic textured rubber iteration inspired by the 1953 model. Additionally, the titanium bracelet rounds off the range dedicated to the case in the same material.
