Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Calendar Complete Flyback Chronograph
Jun 03, 2017,09:13 AM
Ok this a diver with a complicated personality.
But really appreciate the symmetry of the dial and as a collector that loves complications this fills a unique niche.
Standout features include the blue guilloché dial and high-polished reflective moon face in the classic Blancpain style.
Has interesting under the lug corrector system that allows adjustment of calendar and astronomical complications without using a corrector pin.
C3 Luminova is a torch at night with full lume on the dial and bezel indices given sapphirine crystal on both.
The watch is 45 mm but don't let the size scare you off—the sailcloth (kelvar) watch band and case angles allow for a a snug and flush fit against the wrist making it wear smaller.

Agree - this is an amazing watch that is both unique and functional. I also like the central sweep month indicator - an easy way to see the day of the month without an aperture. Do you have a lume shot by chance?
Wow!

You weren't kidding. Even the sub dial hands are illuminated. Thank you very much for taking the time to post this.
