Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec 5008 11B30 NABA LE for HODINKEE - Brand New
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec 5008 11B30 NABA LE for HODINKEE - Brand New
Regardless of your thoughts on HODINKEE, there’s absolutely no denying they know how to create a highly desirable collaboration, consistently showing a knack for delivering changes to pieces that elevate them to a level not seen in regular production runs.
Released in a limited run of 250 pieces in late 2020, it was sold out in a matter of minutes. In the words of Hodinkee themselves: “While similar in style to Blancpain's 2017 Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC (which was limited to 500 pieces), Fifty Fathoms devotees will note not only the brushed case finish, but also the lack of both a date display and of the brand signature commonly seen engraved into the nine o'clock case flank. Replete with drilled lugs, the Fifty Fathoms for HODINKEE presents a minimal, true-to-form expression of Blancpain's endearing early dive watch.”
The Fifty Fathoms is arguably the ultimate dive and military watch, with a rich history as a true tool watch and a cult following that remains dedicated today. Taking the essence of the classic Fifty Fathoms, this is an updated, modern version complete with some of the best of modern haute horlogerie in the form of Blancpain’s caliber 1154, manufactured entirely in-house and with a power reserve of 100 hours.
Featuring a 40.3mm brushed steel case, sapphire uni-directional bezel, and no date as per the original Fifty Fathoms.
Comes with the full kit as per new. The watch is unworn, and the sticker on the front was removed only for photos and put back on.
