Blancpain Fifty Fathoms “No Rad” – Tribute to a Dive Icon 5008D-1130-B64A
In 2021, Blancpain brought back one of its coolest designs with this Fifty Fathoms “No Radiations” edition. A throwback to the legendary dive watches issued to military units in the 60s, this version features the famous crossed-out radiation logo on the dial — a bold signal from a time when watchmakers were switching from radioactive radium to safer luminescent materials like tritium.
The watch has a perfectly sized 40.3 mm case, crafted in stainless steel with a domed sapphire bezel that gives it that unmistakable Fifty Fathoms vintage charm. The dial and lume have just the right touch of patina to make it feel like a real tool watch from back in the day — but with all the reliability and finish you’d expect from a modern Blancpain.
It’s a limited edition that speaks to collectors, history lovers and dive watch nerds alike.
