Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 'Nageurs De Combat' Automatique 45mm Stainless Steel - Special Limited Edition #115/300
Reference #5015E-1130-B52A
Please note, this is an incredibly rare watch, we only have 1 of these and when its gone, its gone for good--First come, First Served....
Heres what makes this watch so rare and special:
- Case and Bezel: The 45mm satin-brushed stainless steel case - reminiscent of Fifty Fathoms Aqualung models. Unidirectional bezel with scratch-resistant sapphire insert and luminescent time scale for enhanced underwater visibility.
- Dial: matte black dial adorned with white lacquered hands and geometric hour markers, reminiscent of vintage military Fifty Fathoms models. A subtle black-on-black number "7" just below the 'Fifty Fathoms' script references the 7-meter safe diving depth limit when using pure oxygen rebreathers—an essential operational detail for early combat divers and also functions as a reminder of 'Memento Mori' - remember to live!
- Solid Engraved Case Back: features official French Combat Diver Qualification Badge, featuring an anchor flanked by two winged seahorses, symbolizing the unit’s naval and airborne capabilities. The individual limited edition number "115/300" is also engraved, confirming its exclusivity.
- In-House Manufacture Movement: Powered by Blancpain’s in-house automatic Caliber 1315 with 120-hour power reserve
This is a completely sold out special limited edition. A large percentage of the 300 pieces were allocated to the living descendants of the original test divers of the fifty fathoms on behalf of the French Combat Swimmers unit. Notably, only four of these watches were delivered to North America boutiques.
