ZF factory Blancpain 5050 work farewell to fake!
Both the Blancpain Fifties and the Rolex Submariner (6202) appeared in 1953, but the Blancpain Fifties were older than the Rolex Submariner. Although the official launch of the Fifty Fathoms was also in 1953, this watch had been made a year ago, and Fichte, then the president of Blancpain, also wore it to dive. So, if it is true, from the time of its appearance, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms should be earlier than the Rolex Submariner.
As the essence of this watch, it is the most difficult. The material is made of sapphire crystal, which has the same hardness and is difficult to polish. Each formed sapphire ring has gone through layers of craftsmanship and complicated watchmaking procedures, and is finally carefully attached by ZF watchmakers in order to maintain the original thin and round body. The yield can only be maintained within 5 layers.
The new product Fifty Nine 5015 chooses titanium metal, which is popular in the medical field, and does brushing and sanding on titanium metal. It is a test for every ZF watchmaker because titanium metal is not only light, corrosion-resistant, but also very hard. The dial's blue radiation pattern is no different from the original. Contains a calm dark blue tone. After many corrections by ZF, the original charm can bloom.
The case is made of electroplated red gold, and the workmanship is very exquisite. After the top polishing and drawing processes of ZF factory, they are patiently treated by the master watchmaker of ZF factory to ensure the same charm and texture as the original.
The entire case is still polished at an angle. The ZF factory does everything with great care. At the same time, it makes the entire watch more atmospheric and luxurious. There are lettering on the four corners of the lugs, which are clear and deep. The side of the case is also a difficult place for this watch to be engraved. To make the JB logo on the crown very three-dimensional, it still needs a certain amount of skill. The lettering on the case is strong and clear.
The ZF factory Blancpain Fifty Fathoms movement uses the Seagull 2836 self-winding movement. There is no need to worry about the quality of the movement.
The strap is made of synthetic fiber, and the inside is made of calf leather, which is durable. The engraved letters on the inner calfskin are very three-dimensional. The buckle uses the folding buckle that is currently used in the new cabinet, which is very beautiful to get started.
