Fifty 噚 series of great birth, thanks to the integration of the two behind the inheritance: on the one hand from former CEO Blancpain Mr. Jean-Jacques Fiechter (Mr. Jean-Jacques Fiechter), he is the brand 1950-1980 At the helm, he was even more of an avid diving master; on the other hand, Robert "Bob" Maloubier, the naval colonel and founder of the French frogman's diving commando, Claude Riffaud, who was struggling to find a reliable watch capable of diving for military purposes.
Jean-Jacques Fichte, a diving community pioneer of the early 1950s. Based on his rich experience, he became more aware of how crucial a lifeguard of a diver was for a reliable timepiece, which was not found on the market at the time. As a result, he, at the helm of the Blancpain Group, laid the key for the watchmaking team to tackle the challenges that timepieces face in the diving environment. Bear the brunt of the watch's waterproof performance. To this end, he developed a double sealed crown. The crown is not a tightly attached part, so the watch easily seeps when it is suddenly pulled out under water. At this time, the second internal seal to play to prevent the infiltration of the role. Mr. Fichte patented the invention. Another patent relates to the back-to-back sealing system. In previous designs, the "O" ring seals used to seal the front and back could twist, distort, and sometimes distort when tightening the front and back of the meter. In response to this problem, Mr. Fichte designed and developed another system to secure the O-ring in the groove with an additional metal disk.
Then he tackled the third issue: a rotating bezel that safely measures the duration of a dive. According to Mr. Fichte, at the beginning of the dive, the zero scale of the rotating bezel is rotated to the position indicated by the minute hand so that the diver can read the length of the run-in according to the bezel graduation indicated by the minute hand. And security once again became the primary factor of concern for Mr. Fichte. Notice, any accidental rotation of bezel, will lead to timing errors, and then lead to serious consequences. Therefore, Mr. Fichte developed a locking system to prevent the bezel from accidental rotation, and also applied for a patent for this technology. Later, Blancpain launched the first one-way rotating bezel for the protection of diving safety.
In addition, timing readability is also a key element of diving watches, especially when diving in muddy waters. Fichte will be given a large dial dial 50 F, watch, more bold black dial with a contrasting white fluorescent scale and pointer. The automatic winding of the movement is also an important part of this concept, minimizing manual wear of the crown and its seals.
Just as Mr. Fichte devoted himself to the development of the dive watch, Naval Colonel Bob Marubité and lieutenant Claude Riddle were also looking for diving watches suitable for military diving. From 1952 onwards, they envisioned finding a watch as a standard equipment for members of the diving commando. Together they list a list of specifications and specific requirements. The first test is a French waterproof watch, but unfortunately the result appalling. These watches are too small to read underwater and unusually difficult. Worse, the watch is water resistant and can not be used for diving, far from the idea.
The good news is that the two sides have different industries and people who "see the same attitude" eventually meet. In 1953, Blancpain succeeded in creating a watch sample submitted to the French test, according to the requirements of Marrubier and Reedford. The watch performed exceptionally well in all tests, becoming the standard equipment for the French frogman's diving commandos and was later adopted by naval forces of various countries. This unique world watch, that is fifty 噚.
In the face of such achievements, Jean-Jacques Fichte has not stopped, but continues to study further the most concerned security issues. Soon, he added a new highlight for the watch - a circular hygrometer. If moisture infiltrates the watch, the small disc at 6 o'clock on the dial will turn red from white to warn the wearer. This humidity indicator is applied to fifty 噚 MIL-SPEC 1 watch. This watch was 1957-1958 year to meet the harsh demands of the military specially designed. Since 1958, the U.S. Navy has tested numerous watches in the hope of creating a standard diving watch that can be used to pick out watches that are capable of underwater military missions. After a series of tests, the fifties watch not only became the standard equipment for American divers, but also became the reference standard for the production of diving watches in the United States. In the meantime, Blancpain also signed a contract with the U.S. Navy Seismic Burst (UDT) and Navy Seals to equip its members with the MIL-SPEC 1 watch. By the early 1960s, the MIL-SPEC 2 50-Watt watch was available and continued to serve in the United States with the TR-900 "Tornek-Rayville" model. Humidity indicator also became the United States Navy diving watch a large specification, was applied to all MIL-SPEC 2 50 噚 watch.
2017 Fifty 噚 series MIL-SPEC replica watch
2017 Fifty 噚 series MIL-SPEC replica watch, equipped with Blancpain self-winding 1151 movement. The movement consists of a total of 210 parts, equipped with two main barrel in series, with up to 4 days of power reserve. Watch equipped with 40 mm diameter steel case. The back of the watch through the back of the sapphire crystal back, movement and coated with NAC (a platinum alloy) gold Tuojituo Ran, Tuo Tuo Po Blancpain logo also panoramic view. Movement with anti-magnetic silicon hairspring. Silicon material has many important properties: First, the density of silicon is low, so light and therefore earthquake-resistant; furthermore, silicon is able to withstand magnetic field disturbances; finally, silicon hairspring can be made into an almost perfect geometry, which increases the isochronism of the movement , Improve watch accuracy.
Launched in 1953, the original Fifty 噚, laid the modern diving watch industry standards, to become the benchmark for the entire industry. Adhering to the tradition of diving watches, the new MIL-SPEC replica watch inherits all the technical features of the dive, comes with a black dial and a dial indicator covered with a Super-LuminNova luminous coating. Dial also has a humidity indicator, style and 1950s introduced MIL-SPEC 1 watch exactly the same. The arched sapphire crystal on the unidirectional rotating bezel is Blancpain's innovative technology introduced on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 50th anniversary of 2003, providing complete protection for the fluorescent scale on the bezel.
The new MIL-SPEC replica watch waterproof up to 30 bar (about 300 meters depth). Limited edition of 500 watches, equipped with NATO NATO military strap, canvas nautical strap or steel buckle with a safety bracelet.
