Blancpain provides a tactically nautical selection of timepieces with the Fifty Fathoms selection, all of which have the sleek elegance wrought of innovation and precision that still holds true to elements of tradition. Painstakingly precise complications provide classic yet contemporary time measurement against a sleek black dial, punctuated with Liquid metal hour markers. Luminescence coated hour, minute and second hands provide a central display of time while the date is displayed in an aperture to the 16h30 mark. The unidirectional bezel provides an added complication for those who know the value of accurate measurement. Every moment is carefully metered out by the 1315 caliber housed in the satin-brushed black ceramic case with a diameter of 43.60 mm. The see-through sapphire case-back provides an insight into the intricate inner workings of the timepiece comprising of 227 components and 35 jewels that are all protected by 30m water resistance. This commanding watch is held to the wrist with a NATO strap, which is fastened by a tang buckle.
