This month, luxury automotive giant Porsche celebrates 70 years of manufacturing prestigious sports cars.

Swiss Blancpain presented the third series of Blancpain Ocean Commitment (BOC) limited edition diving watches.

Since the launch of the Fifty Fathoms – the first modern diving watch – in 1953, Blancpain has maintained a strong commitment to exploring and preserving the world's oceans.

Four years ago, in addition to Blancpain's annual support to expeditions and major oceanographic projects, the brand introduced a first series of limited edition BOC timepieces, followed by a second series in 2016.

It’s easy with any brand’s new release catalogue to get swept up with the drama and complexity of the halo pieces.

First released in the late 1950s, and reintroduced in 2013, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms has become a regular sight these past two years. Appreciated for its vintage-inspired design, Blancpain’s new collection of diving watches is none-the-less full of modern appeal. The new Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Automatic stays faithful to the features that made the 2013 model such a great watch. As they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t change it!
