Adding a Sporty Impression to its Vintage Chic Charm

The "Fifty Fathoms Automatique" is a new creation that reflects Blancpain's tradition of history and innovation. The new titanium bracelet, characterized by its exceptional lightness, is crafted through a series of meticulous manual assembly and finishing processes. Pins connect the satin-finished links, creating a smooth and supple fit on the wrist for ideal comfort.

Furthermore, thanks to a patented system, the screws, which are normally on the side, are placed at the back of the links, giving the bracelet's edges a smooth appearance and feel. This combination of technologies results in a seamless form where the case and bracelet appear as one.

On the dial, Super-LumiNova® coated hour markers and hands ensure high legibility in any environment, and it is equipped with all the characteristics of diving equipment, such as a unidirectional rotating bezel with a scratch-resistant sapphire insert.

With 30 bar water resistance and a 45mm titanium case, the "Fifty Fathoms Automatique" is powered by the in-house Caliber 1315. This movement features magnetic resistance due to the use of a silicon balance spring and boasts a 5-day power reserve thanks to its three series-coupled barrels. The movement can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. This lightweight yet robust model is available with a black or blue sunburst dial.
