A few shots of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms - All Black

Hi,


I just wanted to share a few shots of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms "all black" with you here.

To me the black glossy case removes some of the "tool" look and feel of this watch.





On the other hand, it looks very cool and stealthy in all black.





All black - even the rotor! The only things not black is the bridges...





On the wrist - cool, if it was a bit less shiny you might think it has a military look...
Heritage from its roots...?

Some fade away... Some becomes icons! :) Not sure if black cases will ever be considered iconic. This is not the first time the industry tried this... If I am not incorrect there was a go at black cases from several brands in the 1970's. In some years fro... 

Trendy yes, but will it stand the test of time and...

It looks great on the wrist. Does the bezel have lum in it like the regular sport model?

I didn't have the chance to verify that....
