Amid the Omega Swatch MoonSwatch collaboration’s immense popularity and ongoing craze, the Blancpain X Swatch collaboration has arrived! Without a doubt, it has sparked another global frenzy, with enthusiasts worldwide eagerly queuing up.
On September 9th, the designated SWATCH stores worldwide started selling the collaboration. As expected, it once again led to a rush for purchases. In some cities, disputes in the queues even led to the cancellation of on-site events.
How much is the Swatch X Blancpain?
This watch highlights the oceanic theme and is available in an unlimited number of five models. The Blancpain X Swatch Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms watches are priced at $400.
Is Blancpain owned by Swatch?
To commemorate the 70th anniversary of Blancpain as the originator of the modern dive watch, a co-branded model was produced in collaboration with SWATCH, a member of the same group.
Is the Blancpain X Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms really good-looking? Which one should you choose?
Certainly beautiful! It takes inspiration from the antique timepiece of Blancpain’s most popular model, the Fifty Fathoms, known as the “ancestor of diving watches.”
Creatively named after the world’s five major oceans (Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern), it has crafted 5 different watches with distinct colors, varied dials, and different case back designs.
Each of the 5 Blancpain X Swatch watches has its own unique charm, appealing to enthusiasts worldwide. Preferences for these watches vary across different countries, regions, cities, ages, and genders. Among the 5 color versions, the highly recommended one is gray, followed by blue, yellow, orange, and green.
Innovations of the Blancpain X Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms
The full name of this watch is the “BIOCERAMIC SCUBA FIFTY FATHOMS COLLECTION.”
The reason for calling it “BIOCERAMIC SCUBA FIFTY FATHOMS COLLECTION” is that, similar to the BIOCERAMIC material used in the collaborative models with Bvlgari and Omega, it is an upgraded version of plant-based ceramic that resembles hard plastic but offers a texture and performance far superior to regular plastic.
Composed of two-thirds ceramic components and one-third castor oil, this innovative plant-based ceramic boasts greater elasticity and toughness than standard plastic.
For instance, in terms of toughness, it is more than two to three times stronger than ordinary plastic, making it more resistant to wear and more robust.
How accurate is the Swatch Blancpain?-Sistem 51″ cum device 51 caliber
Blancpain’s collaboration model this time uses Swatch’s famous “Sistem 51” movement. Sistem 51 is the world’s first and only mechanical movement with the fewest parts and completely automated assembly.
It was introduced in 2013. Why exactly 51 components? On the one hand, it achieves the lowest number of mechanical watch components, and on the other hand, it commemorates Swatch’s famous 51-component quartz movement from 30 years ago in 1983.
How does the performance of this movement measure up?
The precision requirements for Swiss Observatory movements are a daily deviation of -4 to +6 seconds, for Swiss-made mechanical watch exports, it’s -15 to +15 seconds, and for Chinese domestically produced mechanical watches, it’s -30 seconds to +30 seconds.
This covers entry-level mechanical watches up to luxury watches in the tens of thousands or even millions.
Swatch X Blancpain Fifty Fathoms with the “51” movement achieves a precision of -5 to +15 seconds per day. Although the price of the Blancpain Swatch watch is low, it doesn’t mean low standards but high standards. Does this mean it offers excellent value for money?
Blancpain’s maritime spirit
This watch series features five color options, each named after one of the five oceans.
The transparent case back is adorned with maps of these oceans and illustrations of five marine invertebrates, creating a storytelling element on the reverse side. It follows the concept of “time on the front, stories on the back.”
The original NATO strap that comes with the watch is made from recycled fishing nets collected from the oceans.
