Founded in 1735<\/strong>, Blancpain is part of the brand portfolio of the Swatch Group. This Maison horlog\u00e8re, reputed to be the world’s oldest watchmaking house, is particularly famous for its Fifty Fathoms<\/strong> diving watches.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These new Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms<\/strong> watches are mechanical and water-resistant, with a price expected to be around (only) 400 euros<\/strong>. This non-limited collection will be available starting Saturday in select Swatch boutiques.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms watches stay true to the original design of the watch, drawing inspiration from the first edition unveiled to celebrate the model’s 70th anniversary<\/strong>. Two of them even pay subtle homage to their history, with the common Blancpain X Swatch logos present on both the dial and the crown.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n These watches are designed to be waterproof to a depth of 91 meters, with the name “Fifty Fathoms” referencing a historic nautical measurement equivalent to the length of one fathom underwater. This measurement translates to 91 meters (or 300 feet)<\/strong> in the English system. Another remarkable feature of these models is the unidirectional rotating bezel, also made of bioceramic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These five watches display five distinct colors<\/strong>, each corresponding to one of the world’s oceans. They are powered by the in-house SISTEM51<\/strong> automatic mechanical movement, which was introduced in 2013<\/strong>. It is the very first fully automated movement, composed of only 51 components, resistant to magnetic fields thanks to the Nivachron<\/strong> hairspring, and offering a power reserve of 90 hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, the NATO<\/strong> straps of these watches are made from recycled fishing nets sourced from the seas and oceans. On the back of each watch, there is a colorful illustration of a marine animal representing the inhabitants of the five oceans, the Nudibranches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A few days ago, the group sparked excitement on social media by posting an image depicting the five oceans of the Earth, accompanied by the concise message “Blancpain X Swatch” followed by the date “09.09.2023,” which coincides with the launch of this new collection.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two prevailing theories were circulating at that time. The first one highlighted the iconic OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M<\/strong>, a watch that holds a special place in the hearts of many enthusiasts, particularly due to its status as James Bond’s<\/strong> favorite timepiece.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n\u2028\u2028\t\tAesthetics and Technical Precision<\/h2>\n
