brang1 3,993 Posted March 30, 2017 harking back to the early 50s, when the Fifty Fathoms watch was released. At 6 o'clock is a moisture indicator, just like the 1950s original, and the watch houses the self-winding calibre 1151 with a silicon balance spring and 4 days of power reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted March 30, 2017 Lovely watch but I'm trying to imagine a silicon balance spring, would have thought it to be too brittle. Off to google "silicon balance spring" Found one, Omega has em as well. https://vimeo.com/50302015 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brang1 3,993 Posted March 30, 2017 Well, maybe it's the new bench mark, if Omega and Blancpain are onto it, the rest will soon follow I assume Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
