Blancpain X Fathoms: The epitome of the Fifty Fathoms.

Which is not Fifty Fathoms anymore, as it is 300 meters water resistant. But we have, with the X Fathoms, the most technical diving watch, for sure. You immediately noticed that we have a mechanical depth gauge, here, and that it is not a first, as mechan...  

Superb lume shot!

Did you ever have a chance to try it in your own wrist, Henrik?

Did it work on your wrist?

And: how large is your wrist? Perhaps you remember that I am looking forward to look at some FF at my AD in order to - hopefully - pull the trigger. Iโ€™m especially fascinated by these two RG iterations: And this X Fathoms, which haunts me for years, could...  

Since we have the same wrist size.

Do you also have a wrist shot from this special โ€œmeetingโ€ with the X? ๐Ÿ™

Fantastic!

Aaaaaah! You were very fast with your post, mon ami! ๐Ÿ˜Š

And very interesting details about watch history, too. I also think, that due its lug construction combined with the strap the โ€žX Epithomeโ€œ is definitely wearable (we seem to have the same wrist size). Not in the office of course. But on summer holidays, ... 

Great post! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Best technical mechanical dive watch ever made. An engineering marvel that happens to look very good. I have seen it in the boutique and I have always loved that watch. Problem is I would have no where to wear it and I also donโ€™t dive deeper than my pool.... 

For me, a diver's watch

is also a wonderful daily wearer, and I have the impression that it is generally more robust.

Same for me.

Your posts are pure evil...

Taking a second look at this ultimate diving watch. Considered the Panerai but it has...some electronic components. I understand this model has 100% fully functioning mechanical components - wonder if the dive master would allow this to be used over elect... 

On your list?
