Feb 12, 2008

A new Blancpain Fifty Fathoms timepiece enriches an iconic Blancpain sports watch collection. With its striking white dial, canvas strap, and a matching white unidirectional bezel crafted from synthetic sapphire, Reference 5015-1127 brings a distinctively fresh aesthetic to this dive watch classic, which first made its mark in 1953.
This new Fifty Fathoms timepiece measures 45mm in diameter, and is crafted from stainless steel. It is driven by the new Calibre 1315 movement, an exclusive Blancpain mechanism composed of 222 parts; among other details of note, it features a sophisticated weighted balance wheel, and three serially-operating mainspring barrels which offer a 5-day power reserve. Despite being water resistant to 300 meters, this new Blancpain watch features a sapphire crystal exhibition caseback--a first within the Fifty Fathoms collection.
