Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC 40mm 5008-1130-B52A – Steel, 500 Pieces

The Timepiece

The MIL-SPEC is the Fifty Fathoms collectors speak about in hushed tones — the 1950s US Navy-issue legend with its moisture indicator disc at six. Blancpain's 2017 tribute keeps the 40.3mm proportions, the humidity indicator, and the sterile military dial, limited to 500 pieces. This is the vintage grail you can actually dive with.
