Blancpain rare vintage Fifty Fathoms LIP bezel insert Ø34mm, collectibles divers watches

lancpain quickly agreed to develop the timepiece for the Ecole des nageurs de combat (Combat Diving School) which Maloubier and Riffaud commanded.

Maloubier describes his first meeting with Blancpain:

“Finally a small watch company, Blancpain, agreed to develop our project which envi-sioned a watch with a black dial, bold large

numerals and clear markings: triangles, circles, squares; a rotatable exterior bezel which repeated the markings of the dial. We wanted at the start of a dive to be able to set

the bezel opposite the large minute hand in order to mark the time.

We wanted each ofthe markings to shine like a star for a shep-herd.

Thoses terms describe the strength and the will to make the best diver watch !
