Blancpain is the oldest watchmaking company, dating back to 1735. The brand has weathered centuries and has a rich history of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. Credited with what we know as the modern dive watch, their now iconic Fifty-Fathoms just celebrated its 70th anniversary, having been released the same year as the Rolex Submariner in 1953. Although Blancpain might not be the first name to come to mind for many, the brand is seeing more deserved attention as collectors unpack their fantastic contribution to the world of horology.

The Leman line overall is a fantastic blend of sport and dress inspired watches with the high build quality Blancpain are known for. We especially love their stepped cases with relatively short lug length which helps them feel more elegant on wrist. The Aqua Lung was produced in a limited edition of 1999 pieces and is one of their most understated designs having a completely brushed finish. The dial and hand set offer fantastic legibility and generous amounts of lume. This piece also boasts a display back to show off its high-grade movement with an impressive 100 hour power reserve. If you've been looking for something interesting and practical in the neo-vintage era, this Aqua Lung remains in fantastic shape and is sure to garner attention for those in the know.
