Fifty Fathoms, one legend for every wrist
A Significant Move for the Fifty Fathoms Collection
The arrival of the new case size represents an important evolution for Blancpain’s iconic diver's watch. This isn’t simply a scaled-down version. Proportions have been carefully reworked to ensure balance, harmony, and presence on any wrist, whether slim or substantial. The result is a refreshed, versatile silhouette that remains unmistakably Fifty Fathoms.
A Legacy Continues
Created in 1953 under the leadership of then-CEO Jean-Jacques Fiechter, a passionate diver and an early adopter of underwater exploration, the Fifty Fathoms was the world’s first true diver's watch. It debuted pioneering features such as a lockable rotating bezel, enhanced water resistance, a contrasted dial with luminous markers, an automatic movement, and anti-magnetic protection. These characteristics not only set the template for professional diver's watches but remain fundamental to the Fifty Fathoms today.

Fifty Fathoms Complete
Three Sizes. One Iconic Collection.
New 38 mm additions complete the Fifty Fathoms Automatique line, now offered in three case sizes designed to suit every wrist, style, and preference.
With the introduction of these new 38 mm references, the Fifty Fathoms Automatique line now stands as a complete, coherent family — offering 38, 42, and 45 mm options. No longer defined by gender or wrist size, the Fifty Fathoms is, more than ever, a watch for all.
“The Fifty Fathoms is much more than a diver's watch, it’s a symbol of exploration and innovation [...] It’s a natural and important evolution for a watch born underwater, made to be worn anywhere.”
Marc A. Hayek, President & CEO of Blancpain
