Blancpain Fifty Fathoms - Rotomatic incabloc

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms , born in 1953 to meet the needs of combat swimmers in the French Navy, is considered the first true professional diving watch . This version from the 1950s, with the words "Rotomatic Incabloc" on the dial, is one of the first civilian models put on the market after the military adoption of the model.
