Swatch is at it again with another exciting collaboration, this time partnering with prestigious dive watch brand Blancpain. Dubbed the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection, the line pays homage to Blancpain's iconic Fifty Fathoms design through five non-limited edition models inspired by ocean realms.
• Arctic Ocean: Features a special red trefoil logo and beige dial colors inspired by the Dendronotus Frondosus nudibranch.
• Pacific Ocean: Vibrant yellow-orange case and black/white gradient dial, drawing inspiration from the Chromodoris Kuiteri with date window between 4-5 o'clock.
• Atlantic Ocean: Deep blue shades pay tribute to the Glaucus Atlanticus "blue dragon" sea slug with date window between 4-5 o'clock.
• Indian Ocean: Energetic green case, dial and strap honoring the lush reef environments and Nembrotha Kubaryana nudibranch with date window between 4-5 o'clock.
• Antarctic Ocean: Cool grey tones pay homage to the Tritoniella Belli "iceberg slug" and feature a water contact indicator.
This project comes on the heels of Swatch's blockbuster collaboration with Omega earlier last year - the MoonSwatch collection. That collection saw 11 watches inspired by Omega's Speedmaster instantly become a worldwide phenomenon, with some models still difficult to find months later.
With the immense success and viral excitement generated by MoonSwatch, expectations are sky high for what Swatch may achieve teaming up with prestigious brand Blancpain. Though only debuting September 9, 2023, early indications suggest the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection is poised for a similarly super hit status and getting shared rapidly across social media platforms. In this videio, let's take a closer look at what all the hype is about.
Let's take a closer look at what all the hype is about for the Swatch X Blancpain Scuba 50 Fathoms Pacific Ocean timepiece. Five inspirational inscriptions - PASSION FOR DIVING, LICENCE TO EXPLORE, OCEAN BREATH, PROTECT WHAT YOU LOVE and IMMERSE YOURSELF - can be found on the watch's back. Priced at just $400, this collaboration perfectly captures Blancpain's iconic diving heritage in an accessible and sustainable package with its recycled fishing net NATO strap and bioceramic details. Under the hood, Swatch's dependable Sistem51 automatic movement powers the timepiece. Its transparent caseback offers a peek at the engineered caliber contrasted by the luxury exterior finishes. The Pacific Ocean model exemplifies the blending of form and function with its vibrant yellow-orange case and black/white sunray dial drawing inspiration from the local Chromodoris Kuiteri slug. Impeccable craftsmanship is on full display for this affordable price point.
Where MoonSwatch popularized customized straps, the Fifty Fathoms watches take it a step further. Their standardized NATO straps can be effortlessly swapped for a world of aftermarket options. Coupled with moderate pricing, this allows enthusiasts to evolve their look endlessly through colorful strap play as tastes change over time. The Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection has highly adaptable 22mm NATO straps that are approximately 1.0mm thick. This standardized strap width allows the watches to accept a huge variety of readily available aftermarket NATO strap options. All five models are equipped with durable NATO straps made from recycled fishing nets. However, the strap's modular design means owners can easily swap them out to customize their look. Early adopters have been seen experimenting with various colorful Nato combinations to match any outfit or occasion.
A wealth of NATO strap options are available in every color imaginable, whether plain or mixed striped "James Bond" styles. Nato straps are able to match the main or accent color hue allowing owners to modify the aesthetic as a subtle homage to each ocean realm. Some examples that would look awesome include military grey, military green, or Grey/Black striped Bond straps to match this Pacific Ocean edition. The vast NATO aftermarket ensures endless strap-swapping possibilities as tastes change over time. With the moderate asking price of these Fifty Fathoms watches, enthusiasts can build an impressive strap collection alongside their timepieces. This highly customizable element underscores Swatch's goal of making luxury accessible.
