Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique

Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms Automatique 5008 1130 B52A is a dive watch with a 40.3 mm steel case. The case measures 13 mm thick, with a lug width of 20 mm. A sapphire crystal covers the sunburst black dial, which carries central seconds and a date display. The unidirectional rotating bezel allows dive time to be tracked in the conventional manner. Self-winding calibre 1151 drives the watch and stores a power reserve of 100 hours, well beyond the industry standard. A sail-canvas strap closes with a pin buckle. Blancpain rates the case to 300 metres, in keeping with the model's diving pedigree.
