Introducing GREEN ABYSS, the latest model in the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection which celebrates Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms, the first true diver’s watch launched in 1953. The new timepiece takes inspiration from the ocean’s depths and nature’s most elusive ecosystems and is created for those who are drawn to exploration and the unknown.
Boasting a unique combination of deep green hues with a touch of sandy beige and black, GREEN ABYSS evokes the mystery of the ocean’s depths which remain largely unexplored. This unique color combination was made possible thanks to Bioceramic, a one-of-a-kind, composite material derived from castor oil that gives the case and loop unparalleled strength and softness.
On its black dial with a dark green hue, GREEN ABYSS features a genuine water contact indicator that detects the presence of water, a highly sought-after detail among collectors. Since 1954, Blancpain has incorporated this distinct complication into select models designed for diving clubs and military units. Positioned at 6 o’clock on the dial, the sensor ensures the watch’s water resistance remains uncompromised by prior dives. A change in the sensor's color signals the presence of moisture. Several Fifty Fathoms models equipped with this dual-color sensor bear the name 'MIL-SPEC,' in accordance with US Navy specifications.
GREEN ABYSS, embodies all the hallmarks of Blancpain’s iconic Fifty Fathoms, including exceptional water resistance, anti-magnetic protection, a secured rotating bezel, outstanding legibility and a mechanical movement.
