BIOCERAMIC SCUBA FIFTY FATHOMS COLLECTION
BLUE LAGOON
This Blancpain X Swatch watch honors Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms, the first true diver’s watch. Its turquoise-blue case and crown are made of Bioceramic material. The word “Swatch” is inscribed on the outer left side of the case. The dial has a sun-brushed finish and features a date indicator between 4 and 5 o'clock. The hour indexes, hour, and minute hands, the tip of the seconds hand as well as the scale on the bezel, are enriched with Grade A Super-LumiNova® for outstanding legibility in the dark. The watch features a dark blue unidirectional Bioceramic bezel and biosourced glass. The SISTEM51 mechanical movement is visible through a transparent sapphire glass caseback and features an illustration of a lagoon and the Tambja Mullineri nudibranch in digital print. Five inspirational inscriptions can be found on the back of the watch: PASSION FOR DIVING – LICENCE TO EXPLORE – OCEAN BREATH – PROTECT WHAT YOU LOVE and IMMERSE YOURSELF. The two-piece NATO-style strap is made from recycled fishing nets and provides full visibility of the movement. The pin buckle and loops are made of Bioceramic material.

This Swiss-made mechanism features just 51 parts including only one central screw, has a 90-hour autonomy and is fully anti-magnetic thanks to its hairspring made with Nivachron™, ensuring high precision.
In true Swatch fashion, every SISTEM51 movement is visible thanks to a transparent display back. All watches in the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection feature an illustration of an ocean and a colorful nudibranch.
THE NUDIBRANCH
BIOCERAMIC
Developed and patented by Swatch, Bioceramic is a unique blend of two thirds ceramic used in high-end watchmaking and one third biosourced material derived from castor oil, resulting in a very durable, scratch-resistant product with a silky matte finish.
