Description

Blancpain 50 Fathoms “Dark Knight” All Black Dlc 45mm 
Ref # 5015-11C30-52

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. The two officers went to Blancpain with a specific set of requirements which were as follows:

– watertight up to 50 fathoms (91.45m)
– self-winding movement
– stainless steel case with screwed exhibition sapphire case back and crown
– large luminous numerals and hands
– unidirectional rotating bezel displaying markers to help divers calculate their bottom time while under water

And what emerged was the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (name derived from the fact that it was water resistant to 50 Fathoms).

Features

  • 45mm Stainless Steel coated DLC case
  • Automatic self winding movement with date indication
  • Water resistant to 300m/1000ft
  • Gorgeous black dial with sapphire crystal and matching all black,
  • uni-directional rotating bezel
  • Sapphire exhibition case back
  • Full size nylon Blancpain strap with matching tang buckle

Condition

Watch is pre-owned in LNIB – Like New In Box condition. Just several weeks old and never worn.

It comes 100% complete with all presentation boxes, booklets and warranty information…

Please feel free to contact our sales office with any questions.
