2010 sees an interesting release from replica Blancpain Watches. Replica Blancpain Tribute To Fifty Fathoms Watches is a model in the Fifty Fathoms collection called the "Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Watch." It is modeled after one of the original Fifty Fathoms watches from the 1950s. If you want to know more about the history, the go here watchbeef.org.

Blancpain had officially released anything regarding this replica watch yet. They often wait a long while to do so. which is frustrating. This is more or less the same Fifty Fathoms watch you know and love, but with a special "re-issue" dial. The original Fifty Fathoms watch replica has that interesting atomic label on there that actually meant to indicate that the watch was radiation free. Why? Well, luminant for a long time was radioactive. Radioactive waste is portrayed as glowing green and so does most luminant. Coincidence? Not exactly.When people started to realize that luminant was radioactive, they needed to find non harmful alternatives - and luminant is pretty darn important for dive watches. Thus, this fake timepiece back in the 1950's proudly advertised right on the dial that it had "No Radiations."

The case is in steel, and it is the exact same as on the current Fifty Fathoms replica watch model. Inside the piece is a replicas Blancpain in-house made calibre 1315 automatic movement with 5 days of power reserve. The retro dial is more minimalist (aside from the no radiation stamp), but it has the same hands as the standard Fifty Fathoms. Is it enough to call it a while new model?More like a different dial version of the Fifty Fathoms - so that is why it is called the replicas "Tribute To Fifty Fathoms" (Fifty Fathoms) watch.
