Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Watch

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms was a pioneering watch: one of the first true modern watches designed for SCUBA diving, with a rotating timing bezel and the general look and feel we now instinctively associate with dive watches. 

Originally designed for the French "combat swimmers" by Captain Robert Maloubier and Lt. Claude Riffaud, it was famously worn by Jacques-Yves Cousteau in the Louis Malle film, The Silent World, in 1957. 

Blancpain has a number of vintage Fifty Fathoms watches in its museum collection, but the one actually worn by Cousteau doesn't seem to be there, and we can't help but wonder where it ended up.
