What Makes the Fifty Fathoms Automatique 42 Special:
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms holds an legendary status in horological history as the archetype of the modern luxury dive watch, originally developed in 1953 by Jean-Jacques Fiechter for elite naval combat swimmers. For years, the core Fifty Fathoms collection resided predominantly in a standard 45mm case diameter. Reference 5010 addresses years of collector demand by re-proportioning the iconic silhouette into an infinitely versatile 42.3mm case size without sacrificing its robust technical capabilities.
Constructed from Grade 2 titanium, the 5010-12B30-B52A offers an ultra-lightweight, highly corrosion-resistant feel on the wrist while showcasing a dark, technical satin-brushed aesthetic. The curved sapphire bezel insert pays homage to the epoxy bezels of vintage 1950s models while providing virtually scratchproof protection over Super-LumiNova dive markings. Through the sapphire display back, the automatic Calibre 1315 reveals exquisite haute horlogerie decoration, including a heavy density winding rotor and fine beveling across the bridges.
Boasting a remarkable 5-day power reserve driven by three mainspring barrels, alongside anti-magnetic silicon hairspring technology, this timepiece represents the absolute pinnacle of contemporary dive watch engineering. Dated June 2026 in like-new condition, this reference bridges historic military heritage with uncompromised daily wearability.
