Blancpain X Swatch FIFTY FATHOMS ANTARCTIC OCEAN

Celebrating one of the most extreme environments on our planet, the ANTARCTIC OCEAN model features a bicolor water contact indicator that detects the presence of water. Positioned at 6 o’clock on its cool gray gradient watch dial, this sensor is an important feature in military diving watches, and a highly sought-after detail among watch collectors. 

Equipped with a SISTEM51 movement, the back of this timepiece features the Tritoniella Belli whose mysterious shape resembles an iceberg battered by storm waves. The animal’s muted colours inspired the colour of the watch’s Bioceramic case, gradient dial, and NATO strap created from recycled fishing nets.
