Titanium Fifty Fathoms !
I'm a massive fan of the Fifty, this new iteration in brushed titanium with blue, sunburst dial, bezel and Nato has distracted me from my Bathyscaphe love fest... If it were to come on a matching titanium bracelet... |

Yup, still a full blooded 45mm, but a very comfortable one...
It looks like a monster next to my Explorer : still wears well, on my wrist at least... As regards dates, I do like one on my watches and I'd take a discreet window at 4:30 with dial matched date wheel, over a cyclops at 3 and a contrast datewheel...Still, horses for courses.... |

Beauty. I do agree I'm not a fan of the date placement but that's my only quibble.

That looks very well done but I'd rather have the more original Flique on a blue FF.

Awesome. Do have a guess on the weight of it on bracelet?

Haven't seen any hint of a bracelet for it, just the sailcloth and Nato options.
I'm normally a big fan of Natos, Blancpain does exceptional hardware on theirs, but this particular one appears to have fabric keepers ? |

It's a great blue, a little darker and more subdued than that of the bathy. I much prefer it over the previous FF with the blue sunburst which was a bit flashy for me. And the brushed titanium is super light!
