Descrizione del modello
Blancpain introduced the Fifty Fathoms in 1953, setting the standards and characteristics for contemporary diving watches. Commissioned by the French Navy, Captain Robert Maloubier and Lieutenant Claude Riffaud provided technical specifications for a combat diver’s timepiece. The name “Fifty Fathoms” derived from the British unit of measurement, representing 50 fathoms or approximately 91.45 meters—the maximum depth achievable by a diver with the available oxygen mixture at that time.
