Head to head Rolex Submariner Plan by Fifty Fathoms

Rolex Submariner - Plan by Fifty Fathoms
 

Build
The beginning of the middle of the twentieth century, a few years after the end of World War II, the armies realize the importance of controlling the depths of the sea, and from there comes the passion for diving, and watch companies race to get the first professional watch for divers, so it is natural to find Rolex at the forefront of companies seeking to manufacture a diving watch Professional, as in 1926 it presented the world with the first waterproof wristwatch encased in the famous “Oyster” box, and the newspapers at that time topped the image of the watch on the hand of the famous swimmer Mercedes Glitzy while crossing the English Channel swimming for a arduous task that took 10 hours spent in cold water, despite being a water-resistant watch However, it was not suitable for divers for that, and after 27 years, specifically in the year 1953, the Rolex Submariner watch finds the light to change the map of watches and become the most famous watch in history. The other side, specifically in the year 1950, John Jackie Fisher, obsessed with diving and discovering the depths of the sea, took over the presidency of Plan Ba Company, and set the goal of making a watch Diving accompanies him on his expeditions in his sights, and indeed, after only three years, the famous diving watch from Blancpa “Fifty Fathom” was produced.
 

Launch
A year after the announcement of the Submariner, the watch was displayed at the Basel Exhibition in 1954 to the public, and it became within everyone's reach to acquire the iconic watch, while Plan Ba remained confined to military uses only, but the manufacturing precedence remains unknown to this day, as each company claims to be the "first" in the manufacture of a watch Professional diving Although the majority gives precedence to Rolex as it was available to the public, there remains a small group that supports the theory of the primacy of Blanc Ba in this precedent.
 

The use
While Plan Ba Fifty Fathom was dedicated to divers of the French Army and then the US Army with limited production, the Rolex Submariner was offered to the "Petrina" and was acquired by a large segment of society, due to its high production and ease of acquisition. Within less than ten years, the Rolex Submariner found its way at the hands of the character The most famous cinematic at the time, "James Bond", to match the exciting and adventurous character, which made Rolex add the date window to its iconic watch to become a more practical watch for daily use. Plan Ba is the circle of the armies used for the Fifty Fathoms watch and has been praised on more than one occasion by the naval officers of the American and French armies.
 

70th anniversary
Blancpa celebrated the 70th anniversary of its release of the first copy of the Fifty Fathom watch with a new version for this occasion. Although the date for the announcement of Rolex watches for the year 2023 has not come yet, we are not used to Rolex celebrating special editions until after fifty years have passed (it did not witness That is, when 100 years have passed.
