The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique 5010-1130-B52B represents the perfect fusion of dive-ready function and Swiss luxury craftsmanship. This model is a modern expression of the original Fifty Fathoms, the watch that defined professional diving timepieces in the 1950s. Built with a 42.3mm stainless steel case, it strikes a refined balance between presence and comfort. The brushed and polished surfaces give the watch an understated elegance, while its professional-grade specifications ensure it's ready for the most demanding environments. Its Sunburst Black Dialoffers excellent contrast, with oversized Super-LumiNova® hour markers and hands that glow bright in low light or underwater conditions. The Dial also features a neatly integrated date display between 4 and 5 o'clock—visible when needed, yet subtle enough not to distract from the watch’s clean layout. Surrounding the Dial is a unidirectional rotating bezel, fitted with a black ceramic insert and Liquidmetal™ numerals that resist fading and scratching, making it both aesthetically sharp and practically resilient. Powering this timepiece is the in-house Blancpain Caliber 1315, an automatic movement engineered for performance and reliability. It delivers a remarkable 120-hour (5-day) power reserve, supported by three barrels working in series, and is protected against magnetic interference thanks to its silicon balance spring. The movement is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, revealing its meticulous finishing and the 18k gold rotor, coated in a dark NAC finish for a modern look. Built to withstand the rigors of deep diving, the watch is water-resistant to 300 meters (1,000 feet) and comes equipped with a black sail-canvas strap, a rugged yet comfortable material inspired by maritime traditions. The strap is fitted with a stainless steel folding clasp, providing a secure and adjustable fit whether worn over a wetsuit or directly on the wrist. Altogether, the Fifty Fathoms 5010-1130-B52B is more than just a tool watch—it’s a luxury timepiece that honors a rich legacy of underwater exploration while standing out in everyday wear.
