Waltham / Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Variant

In 1954 Waltham stopped manufacturing watches in the USA and partnered with Blancpain. This watch is one of those partnered watches. This is a very rare dive watch made by Blancpain but signed and retailed by Waltham in the US. This watch is identical to the early big case Blancpain 50 Fathoms. It has the very rare and original 3,6,9,12 black dial. This watch has an automatic 1361N 17 Jewel movement. The bezel insert is all original but does show some slight areas where is has separated from the bezel. This is a great collectible dive watch! From the research we have conducted,there are only about 5 known examples of this timepiece.
