In 2023, Blancpain released the 50 Fathoms Automatic Watch as part of its 70th-anniversary limited edition Act 1. Now, the brand has introduced a 42mm stainless steel case version, and it is joining the current lineup with 18K red gold and grade 23 titanium case versions.
The new 42mm Fifty Fathoms Automatic Watch maintains the harmonious proportions of the classic 45mm Fifty Fathoms Automatic Watch and is available in 18K red gold and grade 23 titanium. The 18K red gold embodies an elegant and exquisite appearance, while the grade 23 titanium injects a sporty style into the watch. The sapphire bezel is a classic hallmark of the Fifty Fathoms series, symbolizing its robustness and providing a clear and legible display that can withstand any test.
This watch is equipped with the 1315 movement, which offers unparalleled chronometric performance and is designed, manufactured, assembled, and adjusted in-house. The movement features a stop-seconds function for precise time setting. It adheres to the tradition of high-end watchmaking for its decoration, equipped with an 18K red gold oscillating weight coated with NAC, inspired by the classic automatic watch of 1953.
The red gold and titanium versions are available with blue or black dials and are offered with a variety of strap options to match the dial color, including canvas straps, NATO straps, and "Tropic" pattern rubber straps inspired by the 1953 model. The titanium version also offers a titanium bracelet option.
