Blancpain created the first modern diver's watch, the famous 'Fifty Fathoms' in 1953. It was the first serious (and serially produced) watch manufactured that met the strict requirements of professional divers, explorers and engineers. In 1952, Captain Bob Maloubier and his lieutenant Claude Riffaud were entrusted by the French Ministry of Defense with creating an elite unit of military 'Combat Divers'. There simply was nothing on the market that could withstand the rigors of extreme underwater conditions.
