AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a rare vintage 1950s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung watch.
Features: The dial bears the “Aqua Lung” logo; the watch was originally sold through Jacques Cousteau’s diving equipment stores.
Technical details: It is fitted with a Bakelite bezel, known for its fragility, and a dial with radial markers, typical of military and professional versions of the period. The period bracelet is not original, but in my opinion it suits the model quite well. It fits wrists up to 19 centimeters.
Condition: The watch shows signs of age, including the distinctive “No Radiations” marking on the dial, often indicated by a yellow and black symbol.
Value: As a historically important piece in the development of dive watches, it is highly sought after by collectors. Watch diameter: 41 mm, excluding the crown.
It will be shipped by insured mail from Spain.
