This timepiece is Blancpain's new interpretations of the Fifty Fathoms in a groundbreaking flyback chronograph version, designed specially for diving and other water sports. With a sophisticated system of connections inside the case Blancpain ensures water resistance of the chronograph pushers and guarantees their functionality to a depth of 300 metres. The automatic winding mechanism is protected from magnetic fields by a special cage. The Fifty Fathoms Chronograph Flyback comes with a robust 18 K pink gold case and its warm hue blends perfectly with the deep black of dial, bezel and strap.
