Blancpain’s connection to the ocean runs deep. The Maison pushes its diving legacy into a new chapter with the Fifty Fathoms Tech 45 mm—now a permanent collection piece with a sharper lifestyle edge.
The watch stays true to its professional roots: a Grade 23 brushed titanium case, 300-meter water resistance, a helium escape valve, and a unidirectional 120-click ceramic bezel built for gloved hands. Its absolute black dial absorbs up to 97% of light, ensuring maximum contrast with the luminescent block-shaped markers. Beneath the sapphire case-back, the calibre 1315A automatic movement delivers a robust 120-hour power reserve, proving the Tech still has the heart of a serious diving instrument.
But this is a diver with a fresh attitude. Blancpain introduces a tool-free interchangeable strap system, letting wearers switch looks in seconds. Options now include classic black, crisp white, and a vibrant orange. It echoes the central seconds hand and TECH inscription on the dial. Available in multiple sizes, the straps fit as comfortably over a wetsuit as they do on a bare wrist.
The result is a watch as ready for coral reefs as it is for summer city streets. It is the perfect union of precision engineering and modern style—a piece that bridges the worlds of high horology, professional diving, and everyday elegance. As Blancpain CEO Marc A. Hayek puts it: “A serious diver’s watch can also have a lifestyle side.”
The Fifty Fathoms Tech 5029 retails at RM 96,900.
