Blancpain expands its signature dive watch collection with a full lineup of 38mm models in the Fifty Fathoms Automatique range, now offered in three sizes 38mm, 42mm, and 45mm. The collection gains versatility without sacrificing its bold, high-performance character. Available in stainless steel, Grade 23 titanium, or 18k red gold, and paired with sunburst blue or black dials, these new references are thoughtfully proportioned for smaller wrists while preserving the distinctive aesthetic and technical excellence that define the Fifty Fathoms legacy.
Blancpain expands its Fifty Fathoms Automatique collection with the addition of a new 38mm case size, joining the existing 42mm and 45mm formats. Offered in stainless steel, Grade 23 titanium, or 18k red gold, the new models feature reworked proportions to ensure visual balance and comfort across various wrist sizes. Signature elements of the Fifty Fathoms design remain intact, including a unidirectional rotating bezel with a domed sapphire insert, a defining feature of the line.
Flipping the watch over reveals the automatic Blancpain Calibre 1153, framed beneath the sapphire exhibition caseback. Its elegant architecture is highlighted by polished chamfers, Geneva stripes, and a gold rotor shaped like a wave. The movement fills the 38mm case well, underscoring the watch’s premium finish and technical refinement in a compact format.
It comes equipped with a screw-down crown nestled between discrete crown guards. All topped by a scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal, ensuring the collection’s diving pedigree is preserved. Water-resistance can reach up to 300 meters (1,000 feet).
The dials of the new 38mm Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique models uphold the collection’s bold and legible aesthetic. Available in classic sunburst black or deep sunburst blue, each dial is adorned with large applied Arabic numerals at the quarter-hour positions and luminous hour markers.
Framed by Blancpain’s iconic unidirectional bezel, the dials are protected beneath a domed sapphire insert that adds both a vintage flair and durability. The bezel’s 60-minute diving scale enhances the utility and reinforces the watch’s tool-watch pedigree.
The signature sword-shaped hands are filled with Super-LumiNova for maximum readability, and the date aperture is discreetly placed at 4:30 without disrupting the visual symmetry. In low-light conditions, the lume glows brightly, ensuring reliable performance underwater or in the dark.
Whether paired with the blue or black dial, each watch delivers a crisp, sporty elegance. The overall execution, especially the interplay between polished markers and sunray-brushed surfaces, elevates the simplicity of a time-only diver, offering a refined alternative to the more utilitarian look of larger models.
