The brand has weathered centuries and has a rich history of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. Credited with what we know as the modern dive watch, their now iconic Fifty-Fathoms just celebrated its 70th anniversary, having been released the same year as the Rolex Submariner in 1953. Although Blancpain might not be the first name to come to mind for many, the brand is seeing more deserved attention as collectors unpack their fantastic contribution to the world of horology. This particular Villeret reference boasts an impressive 100 hour power reserve which is displayed by an indicator on its' dial. There is also a sub-seconds register but per perhaps most notable is the raised set of gorgeous Breguet style numerals. We love this modernized take on a classic dress watch and the slim case dimensions feel extremely elegant on wrist. This example has remained in top condition with a mint dial and strong case. It comes as a complete set and is ready for many years of enjoyment to come. Dial: Is mint with no blemishes under magnification. All of the lume plots are full and have aged evenly. Bezel: Nice shape with no dings. Hands: Are matching and their lume is stable. Case: The lugs remain thick and even in proportion. Correct signed crown. Bracelet: Two piece calf leather strap in brown. Crystal: Clear. Accessories: Warranty papers, booklet, inner and outer box es and deployant. All functions of the watch operate flawlessly. The movement is running well on our timegrapher and comes with our 1-year mechanical warranty.
