Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique | Blue Sunburst Dial Ref. 5015-12B40-052A | 45mm | Approx. 2024 | Complete Set

About this watch

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique stands among the most historically significant dive watches ever created. Originally introduced in 1953, the Fifty Fathoms is widely regarded as one of the first modern dive watches, setting the benchmark for professional underwater timepieces long before the category became mainstream. This contemporary titanium reference preserves that legendary DNA while embracing modern materials and elevated finishing.

This example features the highly sought-after blue dial and bezel configuration, pairing a rich blue sunburst dial with a striking blue sapphire/craft ceramic bezel insert. The dial shifts beautifully under changing light, revealing vibrant tones and remarkable depth, while oversized luminous hour markers and hands ensure excellent readability in all environments.

Crafted from lightweight titanium, the 45mm case offers substantial wrist presence while remaining surprisingly comfortable for everyday wear. The unidirectional bezel is both highly functional and visually captivating, combining durability with Blancpain’s signature high-end finishing. Paired with a matching blue sail-canvas strap, the watch maintains a sporty yet refined aesthetic befitting one of luxury watchmaking’s premier dive models.

Inside beats Blancpain’s renowned Caliber 1315, an in-house automatic movement celebrated for its robustness, precision, and impressive five-day power reserve. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement showcases refined finishing and a beautifully executed rotor, highlighting Blancpain’s commitment to haute horology.

This modern Fifty Fathoms offers an exceptional balance of history, performance, and luxury craftsmanship, making it a compelling alternative to mainstream luxury dive watches while remaining one of the most respected names in the category.
