Fifty Fathom Barakuda Limited Edition Watch - Model: 5008B-1130-B52A

In the middle of the 20th century, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms had equipped the French Navy with a professional watch to carry out its mission, followed by the German Navy. In the 1960s, the German Navy bought the Blancpain Fifty Diving Watch through Barakuda, a company specializing in the production and sale of diving equipment. Not only that, but the company also introduced a civilian watch for the German market.
Blancpain's Fifty Fathom Barakuda Limited Edition watch was retained and redesigned from a civilian watch that was introduced to Germany at the time. The dial of the original watch of the 1960s used a two-color rectangular time scale, a white luminous pointer and a clear display window at 3 o'clock. The new Fifty-Five Barakuda Limited Edition watch retains the classic two-color rectangular time scale. The time stamp is coated with the "Gui Ra" Super-LumiNova luminous coating. The date window at 3 o'clock is similar to the original version. The window is Surrounded by white frames. The original bezel we can see that the 12 o'clock position is a triangular logo, but Blancpain's current bezel has been changed to a diamond-shaped logo. The texture design of the strap is quite similar to the old one, but in order to match the habit of wearing the watch by modern people, the material is made of rubber, and the summer is also more suitable for wearing a rubber strap.

The movement 1151 is quite common and is one of Blancpain's main movements. It is equipped with a silicon balance spring and a double barrel, and the power reserve is 100 hours. The best replica TAG Heuer Monaco watches at captainthewatch.co.
