The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Tech Gombessa dive watch is poised as a first-of-its-kind timepiece for avid divers to help them spend extended periods below the surface.
The watch features a bezel with up to three hours of measurement over the traditional single hour increment to help divers monitor longer periods below the surface. This is tracked with a fourth hand on the dial that makes a full rotation once every three hours. The watch is constructed with a grade 23 titanium case that's 47mm in diameter to further increase visibility, while also delivering impressive durability. A see-through case back lets users take a glimpse at the movement powering the timepiece.
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Tech Gombessa dive watch is available now and is priced at $28,000.
