Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5052-1110-063A

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Grande Date, introduced around 2018, adds a highly legible large date complication to the iconic dive watch. Its significance lies in the seamless integration of the oversized, two-window date display at 6 o’clock, which maintains the dial’s symmetry and enhances daily usability. The 45mm satin-brushed stainless steel case, paired with the signature domed sapphire bezel, upholds the robust and professional character of the Fifty Fathoms. It is powered by the Caliber 6918B, which is based on the Caliber 1315 and features a 120-hour power reserve and an instantaneous date change mechanism. This reference successfully bridges the gap between a pure tool watch and a more practical, elegant daily wearer.
