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.
