Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Military 3H Bund Issued Dive Watch lug-width-in-mm-19 The 33mm case looks likeThis is a very rare and interesting Blancpain Fifty Fathoms that was made for the German Bundeswehr frogmen in the 1970s. These watches were never commercially available, only issued. You will notice this watch doesn't look like your stereotypical Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, due to the bezel insert. The Bund divers were using re breathers so didnt need the gradiated dive bezels we know from Rolex Subs and so the insert was plain, without numbers minute
