comes directly from the 1950s models. But the 2010 Tribute to Fifty Fathoms picks up a later version Fifty Fathoms
that was famous for its anti-radiation marking.
The reason for the original watch’s anti-radiation symbol was a prior military model. The military insisted upon
using radioactive materials for the luminous dial and bezel—fearsome stuff actually—but what the military ordered
in its specs, it received. For civilian models Blancpain at the time wanted to make clear that the military’s
radioactive materials were not being used, hence the dial symbol.
The 2010 Tribute has the regular Fifty Fathoms 1315 movement (3 barrels, free sprung balance, 5 day power reserve)
and is antimagnetic.
