Blancpain introduced the new 42 mm-diameter Fifty Fathoms Automatique models in red gold and titanium, expanding on 2023’s steel case edition. The Fifty Fathoms, originating in 1953, revolutionized dive watch design and functionality with features like water resistance, secure rotating bezel, anti-magnetism, and legibility. President & CEO Marc A. Hayek revitalized the line in 2003 and further expanded it in 2007 with the 45 mm Fifty Fathoms Automatique. The new 42 mm models house the caliber 1315 movement, known for its accuracy and five-day power reserve. Available in red gold and grade 23 titanium, these watches maintain elegant proportions and boast a sapphire-topped bezel for durability and legibility. Calibre 1315 offers precise time-setting with its stop-seconds function and is beautifully decorated with an 18K red gold oscillating weight. The watches come with various strap options, including sail-canvas, NATO, and textured rubber, as well as a titanium bracelet option. These editions are non-limited edition.
