Blancpain Diver Into History With New Fifty Fathoms No Radiations

As a pioneer in the field of diving watches, it doesn't come as a surprise that Blancpain has a rich history in this area. While Blancpain's diving watches were available to amateur divers, the brand also made these timepieces for special aquatic units of armed forces around the world. One of their most iconic diving watches was made specifically for the Combat Swimmers of the German Navy. It stood out by the 'no radiations' logo on the dial, indicating that Blancpain used luminescent materials that didn't contain radium, a radioactive substance that was initially used to make hands and hour markers visible during low-light conditions.
