Fifty Fathoms Barakuda 40mm 5008B-1130-B52A – Steel, 500 Pieces

✓ Available Upon Request

The Timepiece

The Barakuda recreates the 1960s Fifty Fathoms built for the German combat dive company Barakuda — syringe hands, red accents, and a tropic rubber strap that screams vintage dive culture. The 2019 boutique-only reissue is limited to 500 pieces in the wearable 40.3mm case, and it trades at a premium precisely because Blancpain nailed the details.
