B L A N C P A I N T he Fifty Fathoms family welcomes its new 42 mm-diameter Fifty Fathoms Automatique models to this prestigious range. After presenting its first case of this size in steel on Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 1 limited edition, the Manufacture now offers it in red gold and titanium. The elegance and sophistication of gold makes the appearance alluringly chic, while grade 23 titanium endows a sporty look. Reputed to be the purest of its kind, this metal is lightweight and highly resistant to scratches and corrosion, alongside its anti-allergenic properties. The collection’s characteristic sapphire-topped bezel is also synonymous with robustness and ensures impeccable legibility. The red gold and titanium versions come with a wide choice of straps (in matching colours) ranging from sail-canvas to NATO and a Tropic textured rubber iteration inspired by the 1953 model, while the titanium bracelet rounds off the range dedicated to the case in the same material. They are welcome additions to the Fifty Fathoms Family, which has played an essential role in the development of scuba diving and the discovery of the ocean world. It has enabled Blancpain to forge close links with the ocean community that have been consistently strengthened for more than 70 years. 132 | Simply Abu Dhabi
