Introducing Blancpain X Swatch Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Ocean of Storms

In the heart of the Swiss Jura, a story began in 1735. A story of precision, innovation, and a deep-seated passion for the art of watchmaking. This is the story of Blancpain, the world’s oldest watch brand.

Over the centuries, Blancpain has played a pivotal role in the development of underwater diving and the exploration of the ocean world, forging strong ties with the ocean community.

Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves at the intersection of tradition and innovation. A collaboration between Blancpain and Swatch, two titans of the watchmaking world, has given birth to a new timepiece that honors Blancpain’s iconic Fifty Fathoms – the first true diver’s watch.

The Collaboration

This collaboration has already produced five stunning versions, each named after an ocean: Arctic, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Antarctic. Today, we introduce the sixth watch in the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection – the Ocean of Storms.

Introducing the Ocean of Storms

The Ocean of Storms is a testament to the spirit of exploration and discovery. Its black case and crown, made of Bioceramic material, exude a sense of rugged elegance.

The dial, with its black sunbrushed finish, features a date indicator nestled between 4 and 5 o’clock. The hour indexes, hour, and minute hands, as well as the scale on the bezel, are enriched with Grade A Super-LumiNova® for outstanding legibility in the dark.

Underneath this robust exterior lies the heart of the watch – the SISTEM51 mechanical movement. This Swiss-made mechanism, visible thanks to a transparent sapphire glass, features just 51 parts, including only one central screw. It boasts a 90-hour autonomy and is fully anti-magnetic, thanks to its hairspring made with Nivachron™, ensuring high precision.

The Inspiration Behind the Design

The back of the watch is adorned with five inspirational inscriptions: PASSION FOR DIVING – LICENCE TO EXPLORE – OCEAN BREATH – PROTECT WHAT YOU LOVE and IMMERSE YOURSELF. These words serve as a constant reminder of the spirit of adventure and the love for the ocean that this watch embodies.

The NATO strap, made of recycled fishing nets, and the pin buckle and loops, made of Bioceramic material, add to the sustainable ethos of this timepiece. The Ocean of Storms is not just a watch; it’s a statement, a commitment to protecting what we love.
