BLANCPAIN X Fathoms (sneak peek3)

By TLex The latest BLANCPAIN X Fathoms TEASER #2 reveals what looks very much like a depth gauge divers watch; could this be what the new X Fathoms is? And could this explain the mystery honeycomb mesh 'no radiations' thingamabob; a possible depth sensor? It would make sense for BLANCPAIN to release a mechanical depth gauge to head up their diving series as have Jaeger-LeCoultre with their Master Compressor DIVING Pro Geographic or IWC with the DEEP TWO. Whatever the X Fathoms may be, it's quite a departure from the classic Fifty Fathoms, but one that promises to deliver something truly exceptional.

BLANCPAIN X Fathoms (sneak peek)

By TLex BLANCPAIN are to launch their new divers model, the 'X Fathoms' at an exclusive unveiling event in Dubai on October 25th. Here's a sneak peek at what looks to be the X Fathoms' caseback complete with 'No Radiations' depression in honeycomb mesh. I really want to be excited about this, but from this first teaser, which shows a black molded case, I can't help thinking CHANEL J12 Marine or worst still TechnoMarine; I hope I'm wrong. The name at least hints at something exciting. Stay tuned for lots more soon . . .

Vintage VDB 2011 DUALTIME (prototype)

By TLex The Vintage VDB 2011 is shaping up very nicely. That's a really nice solid looking case and serious looking bezel teeth. The shrouded lugs are pretty cool, but I'm really starting to find myself attracted to VDB's now signature 12-sided caseback design. Stay tuned for more soon . . .
