Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Grande Date 5050-12B30-B52A

About This Watch

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Grande Date in titanium combines a large date display with the robust dive watch platform in a lightweight case material. The titanium construction significantly reduces the weight compared to the steel versions, making the 45mm case notably more comfortable for extended wear. The grande date at 6 o'clock uses two superimposed discs with an instantaneous changeover at midnight, providing excellent legibility underwater or on land. The caliber 6918B maintains the 120-hour power reserve that characterizes the modern Fifty Fathoms collection, with silicon hairspring for magnetic resistance. The blue dial and ceramic bezel create a cohesive aquatic aesthetic. The titanium also provides enhanced corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, making this a genuinely practical choice for active divers. The sail canvas strap with titanium clasp maintains material consistency throughout. This reference bridges the gap between the entry-level Bathyscaphe and the more complex chronograph and tourbillon models, offering a practical daily diver with the added legibility of the oversized date.
