Steel Edition of Blancpain's 42mm Fifty Fathoms Diver Now Available
New Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique in Stainless Steel Joins Permanent Collection
Blancpain has expanded its iconic Fifty Fathoms collection with the introduction of a new stainless steel version of the Automatique. This latest addition offers a refreshing update to the collection, marking the first non-limited 42mm version available.
The new watch boasts a 38.2mm diameter case, crafted from durable stainless steel. The dial is a striking black sunburst, adorned with lumed hands, Liquidmetal hour markers, and a date window neatly positioned at 4:30. The diving bezel features a ceramic insert and a satin-brushed steel exterior, adding to the watch's robust design.
The watch is powered by the in-house Caliber 1315 automatic movement, known for its impressive 120-hour power reserve. This movement also houses a blackened gold rotor, which can be admired through the caseback. The watch offers 300m of water resistance, making it suitable for diving enthusiasts.
In terms of dimensions, the stainless steel watch measures 42mm across and has a thickness of 14.3mm. It comes with a variety of strap options to suit different styles, including Tropic, NATO, sailcloth fabric, and a stainless steel bracelet, each with either a pin buckle or folding clasp.
The stainless steel Fifty Fathoms Automatique does not possess the trendiness of titanium or ceramic, but some purists argue it looks better. The watch is priced starting at $15,500 and up to $18,000 for the steel bracelet version.
