Description |
Excellent condition. A collector's dream. No Radiation Blancpain Fithy Fathoms.
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Aqualung “No Radiations” features a 41mm case that is fully polished. The design of the case itself is rather unremarkable: flat sides with gently down sloped lugs that feature blocked ends. While one might expect a screw down crown, Rolex still had the patent to that technology in the 1960s. So Blancpain achieved its roughly fifty fathoms of water resistance (roughly 91m or 300ft) by installing a pair of gaskets in the crown. Furthering the water resistance is a screw down case back, with the usual branding and text. Around the acrylic crystal is a knurled bezel with a Bakelite bezel nsert. Unlike many of its contemporaries, the Fifty Fathoms’ bezel is not graduated and features a combination of short and long hashes, Arabic numerals, and a triangle at 60/0. Finding an example with an intact bezel can be a challenge, as Bakelite was notoriously brittle and prone to cracking (while it was used on dive watches well into the 1970s, Rolex had already discontinued its use by 1956). The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Aqualung “No Radiations” features an automatic Blancpain R310 automatic movement, chosen to avoid the unnecessary crown and gear wear a hand wound movement would cause. The R310 was in fact a Blancpain-branded A. Schild AS1700 movement. A. Schild was a massive movement manufacture all the way through the 1970s and created exceptionally reliable calibers (it’s not unheard of to encounter an old un-serviced A. Schild movement running without issue). The Blancpain R310/AS 1700 movement features 17 jewels, a 41-hour power reserve, and anti-shock protection while beating at 18,000 vibrations per hour. Further, the movement is protected by an antimagnetic shell, hidden by the solid case back. The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Aqualung “No Radiations” is a historical piece not just as a dive watch, but on a larger scale as well: It acted as a symbol of an age when public fear of radiation was at its height and overtly marked the watch industry’s shift away from radium. Such a watch would be a perfect fit in the collection of a watch lover who not only treasures the early days of dive watches and unique dials, but also has an interest in that Cold War era. The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms “No Radiations” is perhaps the most engaging Fifty Fathoms model ever released, and obtaining one is no easy task. With its timeless design, list of firsts, and historic importance, one simply can’t go wrong. INSURED OVERNIGHT UPS DELIVERY WITHIN THE EU, 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS OUTSIDE OF EU. LOW DECLARED VALUE.
