Sporting Spirit

Blancpain innovates by interpreting the Fifty Fathoms in a chronograph version. This choice will delight professional divers, as well as all nautical and water sports enthusiasts. It called for some impressive feats in terms of its construction, particularly with regard to the pushers. Most chronographs cannot be handled while diving, but thanks to a system of special joints concealed within the case, Blancpain has succeeded in making the push-buttons perfectly water-resistant and operational at depths of 300 metres. The Fifty Fathoms Chronograph can thus truly be used in oceans or lakes, and not only above water level.
