The Pacific Ocean

 

The PACIFIC OCEAN SO35P100 is the first of the creations from the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection by Blancpain X Swatch. Crafted with passion and precision, this timepiece pays homage to the first true diver's watch. Its yellow Bioceramic case and crown symbolize both durability and style. The metal dial has an eye-catching gradient effect, while Grade A Super-LumiNova® ensures clear visibility in any light. Dive into the depths with confidence, thanks to the one-direction rotating bezel and biosourced glass with anti-scratch coating. The iconic  SISTEM51 automatic movement, visible through the transparent case back, guarantees high precision and a 90-hour power reserve. Immerse yourself in the spirit of exploration and ocean conservation.

The Arctic Ocean

 

Next on the line from the new collection is the ARCTIC OCEAN SO35N100. Crafted with precision, its beige Bioceramic case and crown exude both durability and style. The dial's gradient effect is complemented by a special symbol, a tribute to the watch's radium-free heritage, a key feature in the Blancpain diver watches. With Grade A Super-LumiNova® on indexes and hands, legibility is unmatched. The rotating bezel and biosourced glass ensure durability and scratch resistance. The SISTEM51 movement, visible through the transparent case back and used in the entire collection, guarantees the high precision and convenience of an automatic movement.

The Atlantic Ocean

 

The third model in this jaw-dropping collaboration is the ATLANTIC OCEAN SO35A100. Its vibrant blue Bioceramic case and crown echo the Atlantic's captivating depths. The gradient-effect metal dial, enriched with Grade A Super-LumiNova®, ensures clear legibility under any conditions. The rotating ocean blue bezel, treated biosourced glass, and transparent sapphire back showcase the Swiss precision craftsmanship for less than the price of the new Air Pods Max. With an illustration of the Glaucus Atlanticus nudibranch, this watch embodies the spirit of the Atlantic.

The Indian Ocean 

 

The next addition to this new collection is the INDIAN OCEAN SO35I100. Its lush green Bioceramic case and crown take its inspiration from the beauty of the Indian Ocean's rich biodiversity. The gradient-effect dial, the same as on all the watches from the collection, ensures clear visibility in any setting. The distinct mascot of this model is the Nembrotha Kubaryana. 

The collaboration between Blancpain and Swatch incorporates nudibranchs as a symbolic representation of the rich biodiversity found in the world's oceans. These vibrant creatures, known for their extraordinary colors and striking forms, serve as an inspiration for the exclusive color palette and design elements of the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection, embodying a shared commitment to ocean conservation and exploration.

The Antarctic Ocean

 

Now for the ANTARCTIC OCEAN, the final masterpiece in the Blancpain X Swatch Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection. Crafted with an ice-white Bioceramic case and crown, this timepiece pays tribute to the extreme Antarctic environment. The rotating bezel and biosourced glass are treated for maximum durability, while the unique moisture indicator gives this watch a very special spark. The watch features an illustration of the Antarctic Ocean and the Tritoniella Belli nudibranch, embodying the resilience of this icy world. With a NATO strap made from recycled fishing nets, it's an example of our commitment to protecting the wonders of the sea.

 

MoonSwatch vs. SCUBA FIFTY FATHOMS - Where they differ?

 

The Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms and the MoonSwatch may share a love for innovation, but their inspirations diverge. While the MoonSwatch is a playful tribute to space exploration, the Scuba Fifty Fathoms dives deep into the heritage of diver's watches, honoring the iconic Fifty Fathoms. Crafted with Swatch's innovative BIOCERAMIC material, it marries the best of both worlds, offering enthusiasts a premium, non-limited collection. With references to the oceans and their inhabitants, this collaboration brings a new wave of attention to Blancpain's historic legacy. Don't miss out – available from September 9, 2023, at selected Swatch stores.
