Born in 1953, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms was the first modern dive watch—crafted not just for timekeeping, but as an essential tool for underwater exploration. The 70th Anniversary Act 1 Series II pays tribute to that pioneering spirit, combining vintage inspiration with state-of-the-art watchmaking. Limited to just 70 pieces per region, this edition honors a legacy of ocean exploration and innovation that continues to define Blancpain today. The watch features a 42.3 mm stainless steel case with a unidirectional sapphire bezel, engineered for maximum durability and clarity under pressure. Its black sunray-brushed Dial with cream-colored Super-LumiNova hands and hour markers captures a vintage aesthetic while ensuring perfect readability in deep or murky conditions. Water-resistant to 300 meters (30 bar), the case is paired with a sustainable NATO strap made from recycled fishing nets, reinforcing Blancpain’s commitment to ocean conservation. Inside, the in-house Caliber 1315 movement delivers exceptional performance, offering a five-day power reserve and advanced anti-magnetic resistance thanks to its silicon balance spring. The sapphire exhibition case back reveals the finely finished movement—a rare glimpse into the mechanical precision that powers the Fifty Fathoms. This timepiece doesn’t just mark 70 years—it embodies them, bringing history, craftsmanship, and modern utility together in one unforgettable dive watch.
