Introducing the Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 2: Tech Gombessa
Co-developed by Marc A. Hayek, President & CEO of Blancpain, and Laurent Ballesta, founder of the Gombessa project, the Tech Gombessa features a patented innovation that makes it possible for the first time to measure up to three-hour immersion times thanks to its unique 3-hour bezel and dive-time hand.
Introducing the Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 2: Tech Gombessa, a new timepiece designed to meet the needs of all extreme divers.
Unlike the bezels on conventional diver's watches, the bezel on the Fifty Fathoms Tech Gombessa has a unique three-hour scale. It is linked to a special ‘dive-time’ hand that completes one full turn in three hours.
To stand out underwater, a white luminescent coating with green emission was chosen for the bezel markings, the three-hour ’dive time’ hand, and the sweep seconds hand, all of paramount importance to a diver.
The Tech Gombessa makes it possible for the first time to measure up to three-hour dives.
At the heart of this timepiece beats Calibre 13P8. This movement features a high-performance silicon balance spring that is resistant to temperature changes and magnetic fields, ensuring that the watch is incredibly accurate, even in the most challenging environments.
A dive tool above all else, Blancpain has spared no effort in making sure it lives up to its purpose, making it the timing instrument of choice for divers looking for a reliable and high-performing technical dive watch.
