En 1953, Blancpain introduced the first modern diving watch, the Fifty Fathoms (the same year, Rolex introduced its famous Submariner at the Basel Fair).
In 2003, fifty years after the birth of this great classic of deep-sea watchmaking, Blancpain unveiled in Thailand a limited anniversary edition of three series of 50 watches, bringing the Fifty Fathoms, then a “sleeping beauty” known only to a few connoisseurs, into the 21st century.
Twenty years ago, Marc A. Hayek, newly at the helm of Blancpain, rediscovered the Fifty Fathoms by analyzing the brand’s archives.
As a fervent scuba diving enthusiast – a sport he has been practicing since a young age – he immediately fell in love with this watch and decided to breathe new life into it.
