Blancpain X Swatch honors the first true diver’s watch: the Fifty Fathoms. Created 70 years ago by a passionate scuba diver, it revolutionised watchmaking by becoming the first timepiece that successfully met all the needs of underwater exploration.

The five mechanical watches in the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection faithfully reproduce all the hallmarks of this Swiss watchmaking icon while referencing our own diving watch line, the SCUBA. Drawing inspiration from the deep seas, each model celebrates one of the five oceans and the magnificent, colourful animals known as nudibranchs, that dwell in their depths.

With its energetic green-coloured Bioceramic case, dial and NATO strap created from recycled fishing nets, the INDIAN OCEAN model evokes images of lush, dazzling water.

The contrasting colours give rise to images of coral reefs abundant with marine life, including the Nembrotha Kubaryana which can be found on the back. A date indicator between 4 and 5 o’clock adorns the gradient green dial of this timepiece which features a SISTEM51 movement.

In true Swatch fashion, every SISTEM51 movement is visible thanks to a transparent display back. All five watches in the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection feature an illustration of one of the five magnificent, colorful nudibranchs found in each of the five Oceans.
