Monochrome Watches
--------------------
One of the earliest dive watches ever created (back in 1953), the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms has since become an icon of sports watches. Revived by the brand some years ago, the Fifty Fathoms is a modern, robust but also luxurious aquatic model with all the attributes of a professional instrument - water-resistance, rotating bezel, superior contrast - as well as high-end features - in-house movement, superb execution, sapphire insert. Already available in mutliple versions, with several complications and in different materials, this year the brand adds full titanium versions to its Fifty Fathoms collection, including this Grande Date model, with its robust and lightweight titanium bracelet. All the details about this new Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Grande Date on Titanium Bracelet in the video!

SS would be preferable.

BP50F true beauty & provenance...closest i came in my decade frenzy is BOREALIS homage ESTORIL....

truth imho would prefer STERILE OF DATE...and big date a big turn off JMHO

as to whether I would prefer ti or SS on a BP50F ...well being able to pay is a condition precedent so for me the metal is a moot point... if I was a truly rich man might like the angel wing weight of ti and rich enough to laugh off the blemishes... if I was that rich my butler would take out the garbage- do the laundry- shop for groceries-gas the car- get the mail from the box... so my ti could stay blemish free and I could stuff my pie hole with BON-BONS and time thunder claps with my elapsed tyme bezel
