Flyback

Representing another refined technical feature, the chronograph is endowed with a flyback function – one of Blancpain’s specialities, as confirmed by the 1997 launch of the very first ladies’ Flyback Chronograph. This sophisticated system enables instant restart of a new timing operation by pressing the push-button at 4 o’clock, without needing to first stop and reset the hands. The small hour and minute counters are easily legible thanks to the contrast of white indications against a black background.

The self-winding movement is protected from magnetic fields by a dedicated cage. The Fifty Fathoms Chronograph is fitted with a rugged case carved from steel. It is also available in a gold version in which the deep black of the dial, bezel and strap make a wonderful match for the warm shade of 18-carat red gold. A top-ranked chronograph that is equally in its element at a high-society evening event and in the solitude of the ocean depths.
