Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Chronographe Flyback Quantième Complet 5066F-1140-52B – Blue – Steel
The Legend in its Most Noble Form
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms has been THE diver's watch since 1953. With the Reference 5066F-1140-52B, Blancpain shows what is possible when uncompromising sportiness meets haute horlogerie.
This Quantième Complet is no ordinary chronograph. It combines a Flyback Chronograph with a Complete Calendar including Moon Phase – and all of that in a diver's watch water-resistant to 300 meters. A combination that is unique in the watch world.
The solid 45.00 mm stainless steel case is satin-brushed and polished, offering an incredible presence while remaining extremely comfortable on the wrist. Its sporty soul is underlined by the deep blue sunburst dial, which changes from deep blue to steel blue depending on the light. Completed by the unidirectional bezel with blue ceramic inlay – a true eye-catcher.
On the dial you can read everything that matters: Day and Month in windows, Date by red central hand, Moon Phase at 6 o'clock and the Flyback Chronograph function in the center – Stop, Reset and Restart with a single push.
Powering this masterpiece is the Blancpain manufacture calibre 66BF8 with automatic winding. A reliable, robust high-performance movement for daily use.
The watch comes on the original blue sail-canvas strap with a high-quality folding clasp in stainless steel – sporty, secure and extremely comfortable.
A watch for the connoisseur who is looking for a true tool watch with Grande Complication.
