Something special for Basel 2009! The new Blancpain 500 Fathoms Diver this watch is more than all other watches! Blancpain has launched this high spec and high tech watch. it is equipped with a helium decompression valve that is vital when diving the watch is rated at 1000 meters.
The case is 48 mm-diameter and titanium this an unusual size for Blancpain. This watch could be compared the to Omega Seamaster or Rolex Sea Dweller, and in my opinion look in the same league, The brand Blancpain is less known and familiar which would would be a great starter of any conversation.
The case measures 48mm x 17mm with 24mm lugs. One if the most striking features is the large phosphorescent Arabic numerals that are hollowed into the sunray-brushed metal appliques.
The luminescent is possibliy one the best I’ve seen. The movement a Blancpain in-house caliber 1315 with 35 jewels and a power reserve of 120 hours is a great selling feature most power reserves are 48 – 72 hours this out doing them all.
It also incorporates a Glucydur balance with micrometric regulating screws, this helps to prevent any jarring from disturbing the smooth running of the watch.
