\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Paying homage to one of the first \u2018true\u2019 diver\u2019s watches, the new collection takes inspiration from Blancpain\u2019s Fifty Fathoms model. Designed by a devoted scuba diver, the original Fifty Fathoms is widely regarded as the first watch to meet all the needs of an underwater expedition. This year, the original model celebrates its 70th anniversary, making this launch impeccable timing for Blancpain fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst retaining the iconic design of the Fifty Fathoms, the new models also exhibit some classic Swatch touches. For example, part of their design uses elements from Swatch&#8217;s own diving range, the SCUBA. Moreover, made from Bioceramic, each piece boasts a physically and visually powerful build.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Distinctive Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of distinctive features to love about these new models. For instance, in keeping with the new collection\u2019s diving roots, each of the five watches takes its name from a different deep sea. Additionally, their namesake also informs the baseline colour scheme for each model. So, whilst the Antarctic model boasts a snowy-grey silhouette, the Indian Ocean piece incorporates colours from the Indian flag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"959\" height=\"639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Swatch Releases Blancpain Collaboration\" class=\"wp-image-57040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1.jpg 959w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sistem51_960x960_d_v3-1-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mechanically, the Blancpain x Swatch collection also excels. Its SISTEM51 mechanical movement is Swiss-made and impressively only features 51 parts. One of these 51 parts is a Nivachron balance spring, which protects the watch from magnetic interference. Moreover, this calibre also gives the watch its outstanding 90-hour autonomy and exceptional precision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overleaf, this movement is viewable through each watch\u2019s sapphire crystal exhibition case back. But, in typical Swatch style, it has a playful twist. The movement\u2019s components feature an illustration of each model\u2019s namesake ocean, as well as an additional motif of an underwater sea creature.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This non-limited range is now available to purchased from selected Swatch stores. However, please note that the sale of the Blancpain x Swatch models has the restriction of one watch per person, per store and per day.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In exciting news, this weekend Swatch released its Blancpain collaboration.
