The Fifty Fathoms is the original dive watch, with a history dating back to 1953 where it created the first dive watch for the Frogmen of the French Navy. Fast forward to 2017, and we have one of the most highly finished, robust and stunning dive watches on the market, the Fifty Fathoms in Titanium. While some folks like to compare these to Subs, they're a different watch in our opinion. This is a luxury diver, with proper dive watch credentials should you wish to use them, but occupies a space that sits in a different niche with it's high finishing levels and beautiful movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is crafted in titanium, and measures in at 45mm, with a 51mm lug-to-lug and 15.6mm thick with a satin finish throughout. Yes, it’s large, but the Titanium brings the weight right down and the size gives it fantastic legibility, and room for the absolutely gorgeous lumed sapphire bezel. Combine that with the brilliant in-house 1315 movement with triple barrels and a 120 hour power reserve, and the striking and highly detailed sunray blue dial, and you’ve got a watch that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the very best dive watches in the business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reference is matched to a titanium bracelet, which is superbly constructed, and adds another dimension to this dive watch icon. It also comes with the fantastic Blancpain Nato-style strap, and the best-in-the-business textile strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular watch was initially purchased in June 2020 and presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition. Has clearly been worn sparingly, and as such the case shows only the very lightest signs of careful use. No dings, dents or deep scratches present. Bezel is perfect. Please see images for full condition details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet is in the same condition as the case, with barely any hint that it's been used. It's a couple of links short we believe, and will fit roughly a 7.2in wrist as a guesstimate. The fabric strap is in amazing condition, and the nato looks almost unworn. Buckle on the fabric strap shows some minor desk dive marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo service history, but a little young for that. Keeping COSC time at 300+ degrees of amplitude measured dial-up on a timegrapher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with outer box, inner box, travel case, technical booklet, Blancpain register, diver log, warranty card (expired), titanium bracelet, and textile strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an AUD RRP of $33,300 without the extra straps, save big on this superb example of one of the worlds great luxury dive watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand: Blancpain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference Number: 5015-12B40-98B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCirca: 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Dive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Material: Titanium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase details: 45mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBracelet: Blancpain Blue Sail Cloth, Blancpain Textile, Blancpain Titanium Bracelet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement: Blancpain in-house 1315 self-winding automatic movement with 120 hour power reserve\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial: Blue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHands: Lumed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParaphernalia: Outer box, inner box, travel case, technical booklet, Blancpain register, diver log, warranty card (expired), titanium bracelet, and textile strap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTZ Grading: Near Mint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch Vault utilises the TZ grading system.
