From military to classic: The success story of the Fifty Fathoms

France in 1953: The renowned military unit of combat divers required a functional watch which could far surpass the water resistance of previous editions. After numerous rejections from bigger companies, a small Swiss manufacture finally accepted the challenge and was able to impress the whole industry with the outcome. This was due to the fact that the new Fifty Fathoms - the name emphasises its original water resistance of fifty fathoms (91.45 m) – turned out to be a pioneer of its time with its screw-down caseback, an antimagnetic automatic movement and a special crown seal. Shortly after, the watch was utilised by German, US-American and Israeli military units.

The following decades enriched the variety of models of the timepiece immensely while the watches continued to surpass existing boundaries. The highlight is the current diver family from Le Brassus which was introduced in 2007 for the first time. Consequently, not only the famous Bathyscaphe but also a high-end model with tourbillon belong to the exclusive range of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.

Handicraft meets topmost individuality

The centre point of the series is still the classic Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique which embodies an unmistakable character with its broad ceramic bezel and an impressive size of 45 mm. Optionally available in 18-carat rose gold or as gigantic 48 mm limited edition "500 Fathoms", it contains the renowned sport calibre 1315. The calibre not only convinces with its robust construction but, thanks to three spring barrels connected in series, also provides a spectacular power reserve of 120 hours.

As luxury watches of the highest class, all Fifty Fathoms editions are produced in well-versed handicraft and look back on more than 280 years of company history. Since its establishment in 1735, the manufacturer has relied on supreme innovative capacity combined with low quantities up until today and regularly impresses with elaborate complications like perpetual calendars, minute repeaters and carrousels.
