After two limited edition releases, the Fifty Fathoms Tech is now part of Blancpain’s permanent collection. The new 45-mm Fifty Fathoms Tech 5029 features a titanium case, helium escape valve, and unidirectional ceramic bezel optimize for use with gloved hands. Conceived as a serious diving instrument, the watch is water resistant to 300 meters. Its absolute black dial absorbs up to 97% of light, while sporting fully luminescent hour/minute hands and block-shaped markers. This Tech variant runs on the Blancpain Manufacture calibre 1315A, a 4 Hz movement admired for its robust 120-hour power reserve and decorative finishing.
For 2025, the Fifty Fathoms Tech introduces a new interchangeable strap system. The straps are available in three colors and multiple lengths, crucial for divers who wear the watch over a wetsuit. Options include classic black, crisp white or vivid orange. The latter matches the Tech’s orange central seconds hand and Tech inscription on the dial. Wearers can switch styles in seconds, no tools required.
