Inspired by the enchanting hues of pink lakes, beaches, and bays, PINK OCEAN captures the essence of nature's most delicate shades, creating a truly unique design.

BLUE LAGOON celebrates the serene beauty of lagoons, aquatic environments often linked to oceans. Mirroring the enchanting hues of a tropical lagoon and the striking colors of the lagoon-dwelling nudibranch Tambja Mullineri, this diving watch features a harmonious blend of turquoise-blue and complementary deeper blue tones that exude tranquility.
OCEAN OF STORMS is dedicated to Oceanus Procellarum, the largest lunar mare or "sea" on the moon, spanning over 2,500 kilometers from north to south. Inspired by the New Moon, also known as the Black Moon, this timepiece features a black Bioceramic case and NATO strap and a dial with a black sun-brushed finish. This model showcases the nudibranch Okenia Luna and the Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms) region of the moon in a digital print on the movement’s rotor, capturing the mysterious allure of the lunar landscape.
Celebrating the icy waters of the smallest ocean on Earth, the ARCTIC OCEAN model features a special symbol on its contrasting soft beige-colored dial: a red trefoil on a yellow background with a white cross cutting through it. The words “NO RADIATIONS” placed boldly below the logo are a nod to the legendary Fifty Fathoms heritage and the rich history of diver’s watches in the sixties. A coveted detail among watch collectors today, this symbol was used by Blancpain when it launched the world’s first ever diver’s watch without radium. The Dendronotus Frondosus, which lends its colors to the NATO strap, Bioceramic case, and gradient dial, features in a beautiful illustration on the back of the timepiece.
The PACIFIC OCEAN model draws inspiration from the vibrant colors of the Chromodoris Kuiteri, a nudibranch found in the largest and deepest of the five oceans. This timepiece features a bright yellow-orange Bioceramic case, a NATO strap, and a black-and-white gradient dial, capturing the essence of the Pacific's dynamic beauty.
The deep and intense blue shades of the ATLANTIC OCEAN model pay tribute to the powerful waves of the Atlantic. Inspired by the Glaucus Atlanticus nudibranch, also known as the blue dragon, this timepiece features a Bioceramic case and a gradient dial that beautifully capture the essence of the ocean's powerful and mysterious allure.
With its vibrant green Bioceramic case, gradient dial, and NATO strap, the INDIAN OCEAN model evokes the lush, dazzling waters of its namesake. The contrasting colors bring to mind coral reefs teeming with marine life, including the striking Nembrotha Kubaryana nudibranch, which is beautifully depicted on its caseback.
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. The back of this timepiece features the Tritoniella Belli, whose mysterious shape resembles an iceberg battered by storm waves. The animal’s muted colors inspired the color of the watch’s Bioceramic case, gradient dial, and NATO strap.
