Swatch works in collaboration with Blancpain to create the special Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms watch, which comes in five limited-edition models. All of these are individually inspired by the five oceans of the Earth and the respective inspiration can all be seen in the dynamic teasers. This includes the Indian, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic, Antarctic, and Arctic-inspired timepieces seen on hand.
Each design is made with distinct tonal palettes and secured in place with NATO straps that are constructed from recycled fishing nets. Additionally, some of the timepieces have unique detailing including the water contact indicator on the Antarctic iteration which changes color with moisture. The collaborative timepiece has an austere face and stylized hand detailing to round it out.
