Key Features
- White Dial with Luminous Hands – The crisp white dial offers excellent legibility, enhanced by luminous hands that ensure visibility in low-light or underwater conditions. This practical feature maintains readability during night use or in dimly lit environments, adding both functionality and a touch of modern elegance.
- Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Case – Crafted from high-grade stainless steel with a refined silver finish, the case provides durability and resistance to corrosion. Its 38mm diameter strikes a balanced profile—compact enough for smaller wrists yet substantial enough to convey presence and quality.
- White Fabric Band – The watch is fitted with a white fabric strap that complements the dial and case, offering a lightweight, breathable, and comfortable fit. The fabric material is ideal for active wear and resists wear over time, while maintaining a clean, contemporary look.
- Automatic Movement – Powered by an automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement, this watch eliminates the need for battery replacements. The movement is wound naturally through the motion of the wearer’s wrist, combining traditional horology with everyday convenience.
- 300 Meters / 1000 Feet Water Resistance – Engineered for serious water exposure, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. Its high water resistance rating reflects Blancpain’s legacy in professional dive watches, ensuring reliability even in challenging aquatic environments.
- Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel – A functional dive bezel allows for tracking elapsed time underwater, a critical safety feature for divers. The uni-directional rotation ensures that accidental movement can only shorten the measured time, enhancing safety during dives.
- Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal – The front crystal is made from sapphire, one of the hardest materials used in watchmaking. It offers exceptional resistance to scratches and maintains clarity over years of daily wear, preserving the watch’s pristine appearance.
- Transparent Caseback – The exhibition caseback reveals the intricate automatic movement in action, offering a glimpse into the craftsmanship and engineering that power the watch. This detail appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate mechanical artistry.
- Tang Clasp – The strap is secured with a reliable tang clasp, providing a secure and adjustable fit. It’s simple to use and ensures the watch stays comfortably in place during active use.
- Screw-Down Crown – The crown is screwed down to enhance water resistance and protect the internal mechanisms from moisture and dust. This feature is essential for maintaining the watch’s integrity during water activities.
