In 1952, Captain "Bob" Maloubier and his lieutenant Claude Riffaud were entrusted by the French Ministry of Defence with creating an elite unit of "Combat Divers". Upon finding no existing watch capable of withstanding the extreme conditions of underwater missions, the two officers came to Blancpain with an extremely specific set of technical specifications, including the revolutionary unidirectional bezel. Building on their expertise and their visionary spirit, the watchmakers and engineers of the Manufacture developed a mechanical masterpiece that was to assert itself as the archetypal diver's watch. The original model was launched in 1953; its water resistance was guaranteed to a depth of 50 fathoms (91.45 m), hence its names. Fifty Fathoms soon earned a reputation for reliability and sturdiness among the special forces of several different countries. It was adopted by specialists in the field of ocean exploration including the famous French Navy's GERS (Groupe "Etudes et de Recherches Sous-Marines, or Underwater research group). It also accompanied the crew of Jacques Cousteau and Louis Malle during the shooting of the World of Silence movie. In 1997, Blancpain increased the water resistance of the Fifty Fathoms to a depth of 300 metres, and in 2003, the Manufacture celebrated the 50th anniversary of this legendary model by issuing a limited edition with a new black domed scratchproof sapphire bezel." ## Appearance - **Colors:** Black - **Materials:** Gold, Fabric ## Variants - **In stock:** 1 of 1 - **Available:** Black | Color | SKU | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | | Black | 5015 3630 52A | In stock | ## Categories - **Categories:** New ## Additional Attributes - **GTIN:** 7613297301328 - **Type:** Strap - **tags:** Fifty Fathoms - **Color:** Black - **Glass:** Sapphire - **Hands:** Luminous - **Shape:** Round - **Gender:** Men's - **vendor:** Blancpain - **Caseback:** Sapphire - **Material:** Fabric - **Warranty:** 5 Year - **Condition:** New - **Functions:** Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Date - **Thickness:** 15.5mm - **Buckle Type:** Pin buckle - **Dial Markers:** Luminous - **product type:** New - **Movement Type:** Automatic - **shopify handle:** blancpain-fifty-fathoms-5015-3630-52 - **Case Description:** 18kt Rose Gold - **Dial Description:** Black - **Reference Number:** 5015 3630 52A - **Water Resistance:** 300m (30 ATM / 990 ft) — suitable for Professional diving - **Case Diameter ⌀:** 45mm - **Strap Description:** Fabric/Satin/Sail Canvas Strap - **Movement Description:** Calibre 1315 Automatic ## Enrichment - **Type:** diver watch - **Type Synonyms:** wristwatch, dive watch - **Gender:** unisex - **Age Groups:** adult - **Tags:** analog display, rotating bezel, date window, luminous markers, fabric strap, gold case, water resistant - **Styles:** luxury, sporty, classic - **Colors:** black - **Color Families:** Black - **Category Path:** Apparel & Accessories > Jewelry > Watches > Fine Watches - **Band color:** Black - **Band pattern:** Solid - **Case color:** Rose Gold - **Case pattern:** Solid - **Dial color:** Black - **Dial pattern:** Solid - **Watch case shape:** Round - **Watch display:** Analog - **Watch features:** Date Display, Luminous Hands, Luminous Markers, Rotating Bezel, Waterproof - **Watch material:** Metal - **Watch movement type:** Automatic - **Canonical Brand:** Blancpain ## Images - ![Image 1](https://cdn.storerouter.ai/d55c03c2dd843226ac73ea9ea9869910/76a8fc40b6df7aad49ccd58bf31065a3.webp) --- *Source: cosimo.shop | Product ID: f235c549-5d41-546a-998d-a6843bd0d4d2 | Canonical URL: https://cosimo.shop/product/blancpain/blancpain-fifty-fathoms-5015-3630-52-8b21635e-b87c-46c9-a3c2-5bd236b08195*
