This Blancpain X Swatch watch honors Blancpain’s Fifty
Fathoms, the first true diver’s watch. Its beige case and crown are made of
Bioceramic material. The word “Swatch” is inscribed on the outer left side of
the case. The metal dial is printed in several layers of color for a gradient
effect. A special symbol can be found on the bottom part of the dial: a red
trefoil on a yellow background with a white cross cutting through it. The words
“NO RADIATIONS” below the logo, are a nod to the legendary Fifty Fathoms
heritage and rich history of diver’s watches in the sixties. The hour indexes,
hour, and minute hands, as well as the scale on the bezel, are enriched with
Grade A Super-LumiNova® for outstanding legibility in the dark. The
one-direction rotating beige-colored Bioceramic bezel, and biosourced glass are
treated with an anti-scratch coating. The SISTEM51 mechanical movement is
visible thanks to a transparent sapphire glass and features an illustration of
the Arctic Ocean and the Dendronotus Frondosus nudibranch in digital print.
Five inspirational inscriptions can be found on the back of the watch: PASSION
FOR DIVING – LICENCE TO EXPLORE – OCEAN BREATH – PROTECT WHAT YOU LOVE and
IMMERSE YOURSELF. The NATO strap is made of recycled fishing nets that were removed
from the sea. The pin buckle and loops are made of Bioceramic material.
