This watch probably needs no introduction, it's that rare Blancpain Mil-Spec special edition timepiece that rarely comes onto the market. This is the 2017 limited edition of 500 pieces comes in the most rare and expensive steel bracelet version. It also features the historically significant moisture indicator dial. Diameter is 40.3mm. Please visit Blancpain's website for more details on this piece.
The caliber 1151 is beautifully finished to a high standard. The rotor is made of 18K gold, but is blackened to coincide with the professional tool watch aesthetic. It's almost ironic that a genuine diver's watch has such a high horology movement inside.
Condition: Watch has been worn, it is in good condition. Some superficial scratches.
No major damage. Never dropped. Watch runs well, very accurate,
achieves its full power reserve of 100 hours (I recently tested the
power reserve and I stopped counting at 96 hours). Sapphire crystal has
no chips, no major scratches, in very good condition. Bezel sapphire
is also in very good condition. All bracelet links are present,
bracelet is in very good condition.
Provenance: Timepiece was purchased at a Blancpain authorized dealer in USA approximately 2 years ago, making the watch about 2 years old. Watch is missing its box and papers.
