Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5015E-1130-B52A

This 2019 limited edition of 300 pieces is the “Nageurs de combat” (Combat Swimmers), a tribute to the elite French commando frogmen unit. Its significance is rooted in history, as this unit was one of the very first to adopt and test the original Fifty Fathoms in 1953. The watch features several unique details: the caseback is engraved with the French Combat Diver Qualification Badge, and the black dial discreetly bears the number ‘7’. This number symbolizes the maximum depth in meters a diver can reach using pure oxygen before it becomes toxic. Built on the standard 45mm stainless steel 5015 platform with the Caliber 1315, this edition honors the crucial military partnership that cemented the Fifty Fathoms’ legendary status as a professional tool watch.
