Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC

[Daft_Punk]

Dump your fifties now ....40mm and perfect

Blancpain re-interprets one of its vintage pieces from the 1950s, the Fifty Fathoms with a water-tightness indicator.

Good read here on the history

What a nice easy watch to rep, same bezel markings as the regular fifty fathoms..

Has to be shrunk .. from 45 to 40 !

It'll be repped in a week

Whiter/Cream on the bezel also means easier to use noob v2 setup tooled down mm size

I hope they make this one

Very nice looking and a lot more "my size" for a 5'8 person with 7" wrists. If they make a reasonable rep, I would be in.
If they were to actually do a reintroduction of the original Mil-Spec using modern materials and newer movements, I would really be all over it.

Hoping to see this rep'd.

Shut up and take my money!!!

I truly hope this will be repped since the 45mm is too big in my (and I'm sure many other peoples') opinion. Unfortunately no news yet. The factories aren't to keen on repping it. A pity..

I wish they made that mil spec old one

I never wear my fathoms no rad anymore because I'm into smaller watches now. But I can't seem to get rid of it.

I'd pick this up.

This DSN milspec will just have to tide me over. Just got her in need to find a DSN no rad now.

Thses really are the quintessential vintage diver.

It's a DSN build, TD here. But I got in M2M, I'm sure jack will chime in.
