Blancpain X FathomsUploaded with
ImageShack.usBlancpain’s X Fathoms watch combines elements of its famous Fifty Fathoms ancestor with a modern mechanical depth gauge. Though “only” water resistant to 300 meters, Blancpain calls it the most high-performance mechanical diving watch ever made with several world firsts, including:
- Measured depth up to 90 meters
- Maximum depth reached memory
- Separate indication on the 0-15m scale with an +/- 30 cm precision
- Retrograde 5-minute counter for decompression stops
The 55.65-mm case made of satin-brushed titanium is water-resistant to 300 meters. It features a helium decompression valve for saturation diving and the characteristic unidirectional rotating bezel. The strap comprises 14 articulated parts to ensure a perfect fit on the wrist.
