New 42 mm Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

The legendary diver's watch is introduced in a new diameter and two different materials.



In 1953, the Fifty Fathoms revolutionized watchmaking as the first true diver's watch, setting the standard for durability, water resistance, and functionality.


Resurrected in 2003 by President & CEO Marc A. Hayek, the Fifty Fathoms Automatique debuted in 2007, featuring the specially developed Calibre 1315.





In 2023, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the original model, the Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 1 was released, boasting the Calibre 1315 movement.


For enthusiasts seeking this high-performance movement, the manufacturer offers the new Fifty Fathoms Automatique models in a 42 mm diameter.



Made in red gold or titanium, these timepieces exude elegance and sportiness, respectively. The collection retains its sapphire-topped bezel for durability and legibility.





At the heart of these watches lies the Calibre 1315, meticulously designed and crafted in-house for precision timing. With blue or black dials and various strap options, including sail-canvas, NATO, and textured rubber, these non-limited editions promise a bright future with their long-awaited smaller diameter.
