This is a collaboration between Swatch and Blancpain called "Swatch X Blancpain Fifty Fathoms."
The watch pays tribute to Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms, which was the first true diver's watch. It has a blue case and crown made from a special Bioceramic material. The word "Swatch" is engraved on the side. The metal dial has multiple layers of color for a cool gradient effect. The hour markers and hands, as well as the bezel scale, glow brightly in the dark thanks to Grade A Super-LumiNova®. The bezel is one-directional and ocean blue in color, also made from Bioceramic and resistant to scratches. The watch features a transparent sapphire glass on the back, revealing the SISTEM51 mechanical movement with an Atlantic Ocean illustration. The back of the watch has inspirational inscriptions related to diving and the ocean. The NATO strap is made from recycled fishing nets.

Blancpain, founded in 1735, is known as the world's oldest watch brand and has a strong connection with the ocean community, particularly through the Fifty Fathoms watch, which has played a significant role in underwater exploration.
