Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 50th Anniversary.
The first modern evocation of the icon.
Gone but not forgotten.
The 70th anniversary is more an evocation of the 50th anniversary than the vintage, to me.
Best,
Nicolas
The FF 70th Anniversary Act 1 was introduced as a 20y celebration of the 2003 watch…
… Act 2 was to celebrate 10 years of the Gombessa expeditions and only Act 3 was directed at the 70th anniversary of the FF.

One of the all time most beautiful watches IMO.
Their press release at end of last year last year seemed to suggest that there might be a new Ocean Commitment watch this year but it looks like we will have to wait.
“Timepieces and exclusive experiences will punctuate the next 12 months, orchestrated around the key number 70, as well as 20 and 10: 70 for the 70th anniversary of the Fifty Fathoms; 20 for the 20th anniversary of the contemporary Fifty Fathoms and the Blancpain Ocean Commitment; and 10 for the 10th anniversary of the Gombessa expeditions.“

I know, just felt 42mm looked good on me, 🤷♀️🤷♀️
What you think of the first milspec on my wrist?
Perfect! And keep in mind that the traditional lugs of the vintage, that you can see on the Act 3, are quite long.
Right! I do like the size of the Act 3 and the long lugs! The $$ is killing me for the Act 3
But I guess they think because the Act 1 was 19 and the Act 3 is bronze/gold and a faithful size reissue, the Act 3 can be 13k more🤷♀️
You don’t have to answer counselor!
But would you pay 32 for the Act 3? Just curious, and I know you want it in steel!
Don’t need to answer.
