Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Editions

70 years after introducing the first modern diver's watch in 1953, Blancpain begins a year of celebration with a series of releases

Each limited to 70 pieces, the first edition is a 42 mm version in a nod to the original diver’s watch. The second edition released, named Tech Gombessa, celebrates the Gombessa project – a marine biology exploration and conservancy initiative. Fitted with a grade 23 titanium, 47 mm case, the Tech Gombessa is the first watch to measure up to three-hour-long ‘tech’ dives Linked to a unidirectional bezel with three-hour scale, the Tech Gombessa’s special dive timing hand completes one full turn in three hours

The watch is further distinguished from other models by centrally mounted lugs and a helium escape valve, which brings its waterresistant to 30 bar (approximately 300 metres)

Glashütte Original PanoInverse Limited Edition

With an uninterrupted history that began in 1845, Glashütte Original brings German watchmaking into the future with the new, 42 mm platinum PanoInverse Limited Edition

Running across laser-engraved, galvanic black rhodium skylines on the three-quarter plate and butterfly bridge, skyscraper canyons draw closer on the reverse, to reveal slogans as billboard ads. With its balance bridge and duplex swan-neck fine adjustment positioned on the dial side, the PanoInverse derives its name from a redesign that finds movement components mounted in inverse order. 50 pieces will be released.
