Swatch Quietly Drops Another Scuba Fifty Fathoms - Meet the Blue Lagoon
Last January, Blancpain X Swatch released the black "Ocean of Storms" Scuba Fifty Fathoms. Like the standard collection, the sixth model of the collection had been heavily teased to the public before its launch. For the seventh variant, however, Swatch apparently decided to just have it literally appear out of the blue in selected Swatch stores:
The 42.3-mm turquoise-blue case, unidirectional bezel and crown of the Scuba Fifty Fathoms "Blue Lagoon" (Ref. SO35L400) are made of Bioceramic material (derived from castor oil), the dial features a date indicator between 4 and 5 o'clock, the water resistance is 91 meters. The hour indexes, hour, and minute hands, the tip of the seconds hand, as well as the scale on the bezel, are filled with grade A Super-Luminova. Movement is the brand's Sistem51 mechanical movement (with a power reserve of 90 hours), visible through a transparent sapphire glass caseback. Fittingly, the movement features an illustration of a lagoon and the Tambja mullineri nudibranch in digital print.
