Blancpain 500 Fathoms Is Hot Diver Watch For 2009 a post by www.examiner.com
With tradition, style, and pure functionality, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms line of diving watches has always been extremely well regarded among dive watch enthusiasts. The newest version of the watch has a totally redesigned face and is now water resistant to 1000 meters. Thus the name has been changed to 500 Fathoms (actually not a proper measurement in fathoms, but that is ok). Inside the watch is a totally in-house made Blancpain automatic movement which is simply incredible. Not only does the movement have several days (5) worth of power reserve, but it is also extremely accurate, of the most accurate mechanical movements on the market.
The 500 Fathoms has a face richly applied with lume and large hour indicators, that coupled with the thick hands, make for really easily legibility in all conditions. The rotating diver's bezel is actually topped with a sapphire crystal that makes it look great and very rugged. The titanium cased watch is also big at 48mm wide. Wow! Attached to the watch is the traditional treated canvas strap, which adds to the diving theme. A metal bracelet is also available. Price will be in excess of $10,000.
