Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique

Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms Automatique 5007 36B40 O64A is a dive watch cased in red gold at 38.2 mm. The case measures 12 mm thick, with a 19 mm lug width suited to the rubber strap fitted to it. A unidirectional rotating bezel surrounds the sunburst blue dial, which sits under a sapphire crystal and shows a date window. The self-winding calibre 1150 drives the watch and stores 100 hours of power reserve, well above what most automatic movements offer. Central seconds complete the display alongside the date. A pin buckle closes the rubber strap. Blancpain rates the case to 300 metres, a figure that suits its diving origins.
