In his review for Hodinkee, TanTan praised the warmth of the collection’s brown dials and red gold cases, along with hidden under-lug correctors which allow the wearer to adjust the calendar at any time without risk of damaging the movement.
The panel delved into the collection’s history as a showcase for Blancpain’s watchmaking excellence, from the introduction in 1983 of the smallest complete calendar moon phase of its time to today. Kingston, whose official history of the Fifty Fathoms is required reading for Blancpain fans, added additional historical context as well as his perspective as a devoted collector.
