Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5100B-1110-NABA

This is the Fifty Fathoms Barakuda, a 500-piece limited edition from 2019. This specific reference is for the model delivered on a NATO strap. The watch is a highly faithful tribute to a rare 1960s civilian Blancpain diver, distinguished by its 38mm steel case and unique dial with two-tone rectangular markers and red accents. Its significance comes from its direct historical connection, limited availability, and classic proportions. It is powered by the Caliber 1151 with a 100-hour power reserve. The “NABA” suffix differentiates it from the identical watch head sold on a tropic rubber strap, offering a more utilitarian aesthetic.
