Borna Bošnjak

• With a brand new nudibranch on the caseback, the Inexperienced Abyss Scuba Fifty Fathoms brings a inexperienced tinge to the gathering.
• Its format is an identical to the preliminary Antarctic colourway, the spotlight being a nod to the moisture degree indicator at 6 o’clock.
• The Inexperienced Abyss remains to be cased in Bioceramic, with a 42.3mm diameter, and is releasing on the seventh of June 2025.

After a couple of days of teasing, because it tends to go as of late with any Swatch collab, the model has unveiled its newest addition to the Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathoms assortment. Sporting a inexperienced case, and as its identify suggests, impressed by the unknown, murky depths of the world’s oceans, the Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathoms Inexperienced Abyss turns into the second member of the gathering to sport this dial format after the Antarctic Ocean. Equally to the Pink Ocean and Blue Lagoon, nonetheless, it contains a two-piece material strap as an alternative of a single-pass NATO-style. Listed below are all the small print you should know.

Beginning off with the general dimensions, not a lot has modified. The matte inexperienced Bioceramic case remains to be 42.3mm huge, 14.4mm thick, and 48mm lug-to-lug. Searching via the feedback on the teaser posts, many had been hoping for a smaller variant, although it looks as if we’ll have to attend for that to materialise. Perhaps a particular variant referencing one of many 38mm Bathyscaphes? That one’s without spending a dime, Swatch.

The dial doesn’t function the Fifty Fathoms’ signature set of numerals on the cardinal factors, as an alternative choosing printed indices all-round. They’ve a sure puffiness to them that provides them a three-dimensional impact, which is neat on an in any other case fairly flat dial. The Blancpain and Swatch branding is proudly displayed at 12 o’clock, and is admittedly fairly obtrusive because it takes up many of the higher dial portion, whereas the decrease half sports activities the bi-coloured moisture indicator circle nodding to the mannequin’s previous.

Round again is the place issues often get a bit of extra funky with the Scuba Fifty Fathoms, and the identical will be stated right here. The motion remains to be Swatch’s all-plastic, single-screw Sistem51 with its 90-hour energy reserve and difficult-to-service parts. I’m truly fairly a fan of this seaweed inexperienced colourway, particularly with tinges of black and beige operating via it. The printing on the bridges of the Sistem51 motion retains the scheme cohesive, and sports activities a brand new nudibranch species – the felimare picta. Although, for those who ask me, I a lot favor its non-Latin identify – regal sea goddess simply sounds a lot cooler, doesn’t it?
