How is the workmanship of the ZF Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5008b Barracuda replica watch?

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Omega Seamaster are the earliest diving watches, born in 1953, specially made for the military. In the 1960s, the German Federal Marine Corps ordered Blancpain Fifty Fathoms through a diving equipment supplier called “Barakuda Barracuda”. The biggest appearance feature of this batch of watches is that it uses a two-color scale, the inside is off-white and the outside is red, to improve the recognition of reading time. Therefore, this watch is also commonly known as “Barracuda”.

Watch review: Blancpain launched a Fifty Fathoms Barakuda with a global limited edition of 500 pieces last year, nicknamed “Barracuda”. The prototype of this watch is the Fifty Fathoms watch purchased by the Federal German Navy through the diving equipment manufacturer Barakuda in the late 1960s. The watch is made of stainless steel with a diameter of 40.30 mm. Compared with the ordinary Fifty Fathoms 45 large diameter, the Barracuda is more suitable for daily wear. From the appearance, the sapphire unidirectional rotating bezel has excellent texture. There is a calendar display at 3 o’clock on the dial. The time scale follows the original version with a beige and red two-color luminous scale with an old effect. The beige and white two-color pencil-shaped hands make the watch look full of age. The movement is equipped with a Blancpain 1151 automatic winding movement, with a power reserve of up to 100 hours and 300 meters of water resistance. The watch also adopts a back-through design, which can be used to watch the movement under the sapphire crystal glass back, adding a different feeling to the retro diving watch. With such a beautiful appearance and outstanding performance, the Fifty Fathoms watch can be said to contain Blancpain’s passionate feelings for the ocean world.

I especially praise this plastic strap. I like it so much, and the feel is invincible in all aspects!

ZF factory one-to-one replica, made of 316L stainless steel, watch size 40.3mmX13.23mm. The case details are polished and restored very well, with sapphire curved mirror and sapphire crystal glass bezel.

From the appearance, the texture of the sapphire unidirectional rotating bezel is very good, the time scale follows the original version with a beige and red two-color luminous scale with a distressed effect, and the Swiss imported luminous paint brings an amazing luminous effect. The beige and white two-color pencil-shaped pointer makes the watch look full of age.

In terms of movement, it uses the Dandong version of the customized CAL.1151 movement, the deck polishing effect is good, and the overall simulation degree reaches more than 90%. There is basically no psychological burden for online social networking and daily wear.

The strap is synchronized with the genuine one, and the natural rubber strap is not afraid of water. It is comfortable, light and breathable to wear, which is very suitable for the upcoming hot summer. The polished details of the buckle and the logo engraving are also of high quality.

In general, compared with the ordinary 45mm large diameter of the Fifty Fathoms, the Barracuda is more suitable for daily wear. Moreover, the 40mm size is more suitable for the wrist size of most Chinese people. The black dial + old beige and red two-color scale + white hands have a retro feel of the Burberry checkered pattern, which is very tasteful and is a sports watch worth recommending.
