Blancpain Fifty Fathoms ‘Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung’

After last year’s update of their Fifty Fathoms model with the Fifty Fathoms ‘Tribute to Fifty Fathoms’, Swiss watchmaker Blancpain  are releasing an updated version of their iconic Aqua Lung. The equally-awkwardly named Fifty Fathoms ‘Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung’ includes a simplified bezel, a subtly textured black face, and a larger case. Also incorporated into the redesign is a new strap with circular holes, which is reminiscent of the original 1950s Aqua Lung design. Though pricey, the model is worth consideration, though consider quickly – the tribute model is limited to 500 pieces.

Allow us to make a few suggestions to set you on the path to full sartorial enlightenment, or at least get you to dinner on time.
