Blancpain
Fifty Fathoms 'No Rad' Limited Edition
Limited to 500 pieces. A tribute to the original 1960s combat diver's watch.
The Fifty Fathoms No Rad pays tribute to one of the most sought-after vintage Blancpain references — the mid-1960s diving instrument used by the German Navy's combat swimmers, distinguished by its 'No Radiations' symbol at 6 o'clock (indicating the shift away from radium-based luminous material). This 2021 limited edition of 500 pieces faithfully reinterprets that icon with modern specs: the in-house Caliber 1151 with silicon balance spring delivers 100 hours of power reserve from twin barrels. The 40.3mm polished steel case with sapphire bezel insert is rated to 300 meters. Tropic-style rubber strap completes the vintage dive aesthetic. BONUS: I HAVE THE OFFICIAL BLANCPAIN BRACELET THAT WAS AN ADDITIONAL $3000 I WILL INCLUDE TO THE LUCKY BUYER! Note: Additional photos show what a strap monster this is. Sharkmesh and NATO photo's show past configurations and are not inluded.
