Blancpain's new Fifty Fathoms Tech 45 watch officially joins the ranks of new deep-sea dive watches.
1. The new Fifty Fathoms Tech 45 inherits the essence of the Tech Ocean Commitment IV, featuring a 45mm x 14.1mm case crafted from grade 23 titanium. This lightweight material is hypoallergenic and highly corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for a dive watch. It features a helium escape valve for saturation diving, a unidirectional 120-position rotating bezel with a ceramic insert, and a sapphire crystal on the caseback. Water-resistant to 300 meters, it's more than enough for professional wear.
2. The dial features a "pure black" finish that absorbs up to 97% of ambient light, which is crucial for legibility during low-visibility diving. Large, square-shaped applied hour markers, with numerals at the cardinal positions, are filled with Super-LumiNova, radiating a dazzling glow beneath the dial. The central seconds hand and the "TECH" logo above the 6-minute mark are accented in bright orange, adding a practical touch and complementing the new strap design.
3. Equipped with a replica Blancpain caliber 1315A movement, it offers a power reserve of up to 72 hours (3 days). It oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the traditional, meticulous finishing.
4. High-quality rubber strap; choose from classic black, refreshing white, or vibrant orange for a bold summer look that perfectly complements the dial accents. While white is a must-have, black and orange are also a must-have.
