Take a look at our newest merchandise
Please don’t name it a measurement discount; it’s a totally reworked design to get completely balanced proportions. Introducing two new Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique 38mm fashions for ladies. Sure, Blancpain tells us explicitly that these new “FF” fashions are for ladies solely. That’s not very 2025, however within the model’s protection, these watches pay tribute to the ladies taking motion as a part of the Blancpain Ocean Dedication, by the Ocean Photographer of the 12 months competitors, and extra significantly, the Feminine Fifty Fathoms Award. So, that’s settled, however let’s take a look at the watches once more. That 38mm case measurement is ideal for males, too!
Okay, the brand new Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique 38mm with the shiny pink bezel on the white NATO-style strap displaying electrical and petal pink stripes matched to a pink mother-of-pearl dial with a dégradé impact (Ref. 5007-12B44R-NAFA) is undeniably female. I’ve nothing towards the colour pink or mother-of-pearl, however the way in which Blancpain presents this mix will most likely not entice many males. Additionally, this watch does have a variety of resemblance to the Blancpain × Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms Pink Ocean. Anyway, now take a look at the model on a bracelet, the Ref. 5007 12B44R. With its absolutely brushed, grade 23 titanium three-link bracelet completely matching the brushed 38.2 × 12mm grade 23 titanium case, the watch undergoes a metamorphosis that will get the creativeness going.
Two new Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique 38mm fashions
The inspiration of the Ref. 5007 12B44R is the historically sized brushed grade 23 titanium case with a delicate greyish hue and the matching bracelet. With that basis, a much less flamboyant, extra utilitarian dive watch will not be laborious to think about. Possibly one thing with a matte black dial and an anthracite unidirectional dive bezel?
The second newcomer is the pink gold-cased model with the black bezel. The ref. 5007 3644A is the one on the black tropic rubber strap, the ref. 5007- 3644A-B52 comes on a sailcloth strap, and the ref. 5007-3644A-NABA has a black material NATO strap. The polished 18ct pink gold has an intense hue — Blancpain calls it pink gold as a substitute of pink gold for a purpose — which contrasts very properly with the graduated black “MOP” dial. That dial might additionally work in an “FF” with a brushed titanium case and matching bracelet.
Keep in mind the blacked-out Sinn U50 S Mom-of-Pearl S Restricted Version with its shimmering mild blue dial? I do. And really vividly. I discovered the distinction between the darkish hardened submarine metal and the lustrous mother-of-pearl dial extremely alluring.
Again to actuality and the longer term
The 2 new 38mm Fifty Fathoms watches characteristic a case with a water resistance ranking of 300 meters. And contained in the case, you can see the in-house caliber 1153. This automated 3Hz motion of 186 elements boasts a 100-hour energy reserve and a silicon stability spring. It’s the usual FF motion, and you may see it in motion by the see-through case again.
Costs for the 18ct pink gold model vary from CHF 26,100 to CHF 29,000, relying on the buckle — a pink gold pin buckle and a folding clasp can be found. The titanium model on the white NATO-style strap prices CHF 15,500, whereas the reference with the three-link titanium bracelet prices CHF 18,200.
Fantasizing about and hoping for 38mm fashions rather less outspoken and extra in step with the practical historical past of the Fifty Fathoms will not be a waste of time. Within the press launch accompanying the 2 newcomers, Blancpain writes the next: “The brand new 38 mm case measurement opens the door to future additions throughout the Fifty Fathoms household.” You can begin holding your breath now.
