Blancpain has released a limited edition version of their Fifty Fathoms dive watch in ocean blue limited edition series of 50 pieces. This exclusive edition is clad in a deep blue colour celebrating the inseparable ties binding the Manufacture in Le Brassus to the splendors of the ocean depths. It plays the starring role in an exhibition that is unique in Switzerland and is on show in the Cité du Tempsin Geneva from January 19th to February 28th, 2009. For the first time ever, the most significant models of this legendary diver’s watch - from 1953 to the present day - are united under one roof.
The watch has 18 karat gold case and an ocean blue dial with a strap which is made of rigid sailing canvas. The 45 mm-diameter case in white gold, equipped with a crown guard, houses the sturdy Blancpain Calibre 1315 with its five-day power reserve. The sapphire crystal enables one to admire the meticulous finishing of the self-winding movement and its unique oscillating weight engraved with a diving mask motif, yet without compromising the water resistance to 300 metres. This new-look Fifty Fathoms is fitted with a blue sail canvas strap lined with rubber and completed with a white gold pin buckle. Issued in an exclusive limited edition of 50, this prestigious timepiece comes with a stunning book of art photographs dedicated to the underwater world. This work vividly reflects the qualities of the diver’s watch after which it is named and uses cutting-edge printing techniques.
