Blancpain and Swatch have joined forces to pay homage to Blancpain’s iconic Fifty
Fathoms, a model cherished by true diving enthusiasts. The result is the extraordinary
Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms collection, blending innovative materials with a tribute to
marine life. Let’s dive into the details of these unique timepieces.
Under the transparent sapphire crystal, the SISTEM51 mechanical movement takes center
stage. Digitally printed images of the Atlantic Ocean and the Glaucus Atlanticus, a
captivating sea creature, adorn the movement. Flip the watch, and you’ll find motivational
inscriptions such as “Passion for Diving,” “License to Explore,” “Ocean Breath,” “Protect
What You Love,” and “Immerse Yourself.”
The NATO strap is a product of sustainability, made from recycled fishing nets pulled from
the sea. The buckle and loops are crafted from bioceramic, ensuring a harmonious blend
of aesthetics and eco-friendliness.
The Swatch SISTEM51 mechanism, known for its Swiss quality, comprises a mere 51
components secured by a single central screw, offering precise timekeeping thanks to the
antimagnetic properties of the Nivachron™ spring.
Traditionally, Swatch provides a peek into the SISTEM51 mechanism through a transparent
case back. Each of the five models in the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms collection
features an image of a unique and vibrant sea slug, representing the diverse marine life
found in the corresponding oceans.
Blancpain and Swatch have successfully created a masterpiece with the Bioceramic
Scuba Fifty Fathoms collection. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the use of bioceramic, a
patented material by Swatch, adds durability, scratch resistance, and a silky matte finish.
These watches not only pay tribute to the art of horology but also contribute to
environmental sustainability, making them a must-have for watch enthusiasts with a
passion for both style and eco-conscious living.
