This weekend in Cannes, France, Blancpain is celebrating "Act 3" for the 70th anniversary of their Fifty Fathoms dive watch, and, link as we got with Acts 1 and 2, they've link released link a brand new Fifty Fathoms to mark the occasion. For Act 3, Blancpain has dropped a vintage-effect nod to the original "Mil-Spec" Fifty Fathoms. Rendered in Bronze Gold, it's the limited edition Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 3.

Similarly, the pin holes have crisp edges where they have been link sealed. Due to the thickness of the nylon, they prove more resistant to stretching link and wear. Artem adds subtle link branding with its name on one of the keepers and logo on the buckle.
We no link longer keep our books in a safe, although I can assure you they are safe. More excitingly, we have link just begun lending out books again to HSNY link members! If you're an active member in good standing, you can now check out up to four books at a time by visiting our library in New York, and either return them in person, or mail them back when you're done. There are no late fees!
It's not a groundbreaking release by any stretch, but the new Alpina Heritage Automatics offer two link handsome takes on the idea of a dressy everyday watch that feels like it was directly evolved from a sports watch, rather than a dress link watch (it's a good link format, just ask Patek).
Four of the five models feature polished timing bezels, link which really hammers home the in-your-face link "blinginess" of this capsule collection, but one of them, and probably my link favorite, as a result, has a black bezel and bright red hands.
Only accessible by dirt link road (or cross-country skiing in winter), this quaint cabin-like restaurant offers link a game-heavy mountain-themed menu. The trek there is grueling, either by ski or truck, but the payoff is great. You'll want to wear your best tool link watch for the trek.
The grade-2 titanium dive watch actually debuted in 2019, nearly two entire link years before No Time To Die would eventually land on the big screen. Craig, who is an Omega brand ambassador when he's not acting, was actually recruited by the Swiss watchmaker to assist in the watch's design process. After all, who link would know Bond's watch preferences better than the man who played him across link five movies and 15 years?
The entire case body is also completely different to the better known 2497 style as thinner link in height and less convex. Furthermore, the bezel is slightly convex link whereas the normal 2497 is concave. Also the case back has its link unique design and does not compare with any known shape of other perpetual calendar models from the period.
To capture the '90s culture visually, there's a rhodium-plated dial with sandblasted link blue registers, and a design link motif that features red and blue accents on the dial. On top of the motorsports connection, it’s also meant to emulate the industrial design link language of the '90s.
