Paying homage to its rich diving history, Blancpain unveils the 40mm stainless steel Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC. It is powered by the in-house automatic caliber 1151 with silicon balance spring. The watch is equipped with a unidirectional rotating sapphire bezel, and the black dial features a circular water-tightness indicator similar to the designs of the 1950s. If liquid were to leak into the case, the disk would change color from white to red. The watch is water resistant to 300 meters and built in a limited edition of 500 pieces.
