About This Watch

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Ocean Commitment III is a limited edition of 250 pieces created to support Blancpain's ongoing ocean conservation initiatives. The plasma grey ceramic case, processed through a special thermal treatment that gives it a unique warm grey tone, sets this apart from standard ceramic watches. At 40mm, it uses the more compact case size seen in the MIL-SPEC, providing excellent wearability. A portion of each sale is donated to ocean conservation projects worldwide. The blue dial references the deep ocean that Blancpain is committed to protecting, while the caliber 1315 provides the 120-hour power reserve and silicon hairspring. The ceramic construction offers scratch resistance and extreme lightweight — just 88 grams including the strap. Limited production and the association with ocean conservation have driven secondary market prices significantly above the original retail. For collectors who value both mechanical excellence and environmental consciousness, the Ocean Commitment series represents Blancpain at its most purpose-driven.
