Blancpain 5018 Fifty Fathoms X Fathoms Titanium Black Dial

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms X Fathoms reference 5018-1230-64A boldly pushes the boundaries of professional dive watches. Released in 2022 as the brand’s most technically advanced diver, this extraordinary timepiece synthesizes Blancpain’s historic savoir-faire in underwater horology with state-of-the-art engineering. The massive 55mm brushed titanium case houses Blancpain’s automatic caliber 9918B, an exceptionally robust in-house movement purpose-built to support extreme diving complications. Notably, the X Fathoms features both a 90-minute retrograde mechanical depth gauge with memory and a 5-minute decompression timer, making it one of the most functionally rich mechanical divers ever produced for saturation diving professionals. The matte black dial and corresponding rubber strap accentuate the technical gravitas, while luminous hands and markers ensure optimal legibility in the harshest conditions. Its depth rating—reaching 300 meters—underscores Blancpain’s longstanding commitment to aquatic innovation. Fiercely coveted by collectors, the X Fathoms is not only the flagship of the Fifty Fathoms line but also a testament to the maison’s willingness to innovate well beyond conventional norms, combining technical spectacle with practical necessity. This piece stands as a modern milestone for both the brand and the broader world of luxury dive watches. Like New with Blancpain box and undated papers.
