The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms No Rad Limited Edition is a tribute to the brand's pioneering dive watch heritage. Released in 2021 as a limited edition of 500 pieces, this model reimagines the iconic "No Radiations" Dial from the 1960s, which was introduced to indicate the absence of radioactive lume. The bold "No Radiations" marking at 6 o'clock serves as a distinctive feature, paying homage to the original design while adhering to modern standards. Housed in a 40 mm stainless steel case, the watch features a matte black Dial with vintage-inspired luminous markers and hands, reminiscent of the original model. The unidirectional sapphire bezel, lumed to match the Dial's patina, ensures legibility and durability. With a water resistance of 300 meters, the timepiece is equipped for professional diving activities. The watch is secured with a black rubber strap and a stainless steel pin buckle, combining comfort with functionality. At its heart lies Blancpain's in-house Caliber 1151, an automatic movement offering a 100-hour power reserve and resistance to magnetic fields. The exhibition case back showcases the intricately finished movement, highlighting Blancpain's commitment to horological excellence. The 5008D 1130 B64A stands as a testament to Blancpain's enduring legacy in dive watch innovation and environmental stewardship.
