If the watch has been jeopardized (as most watches were likely to back then), he had to rely on alternate means for timekeeping, or abort the dive to prevent decompression illness (or worse). It’s also probably worth pointing out that such a shield is admittedly somewhat silly within an ultra-modern dive watch that’s already water-resistant to a crushing 300 meters (and costs $14k), but the charm of this Blancpain Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec isn’t its utility, but its commendable devotion to the origin material.Speaking of source material, although the situation size to the Blancpain Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec has been increased from 37mm to 40mm, it’s still a merciful decrease from the last time we saw a Tribute to Fifty Fathoms, that was able to actually wear bigger than its sacrilegious 45mm situation width. This 40mm case is really the sweet spot for Blancpain divers like the Mil-Spec, which eventually strikes that nice balance between taking the highly polished visual burden of being a modern “luxury diver” while still staying true to Fiechter’s original vision. If that is a harbinger of what is to come for the next generation of Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms collection, think about us fans.
