Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 1 Watch
Blancpain introduced its first Fifty Fathoms dive watch in 1953. To celebrate its 70th Anniversary, the company is releasing a series of special watches, with the Act 1 representing the first. It has a 42.3mm polished stainless steel case, paired with a black bezel insert covered by domed sapphire, and a black sunburst dial. The markings of both the bezel insert and the dial are heavily lumed for underwater readability, as are the hands, which are powered by a manufacturer caliber 1315 movement. Finished with a date window at 4:30 and a screw-down crown for water resistance to 300m, it sits on a black NATO strap made from recycled fishing nets and is limited to 210 examples.
