blancpain fifty fathoms vs. cartier calibre diver

This is where, however, I have to repeat my plea to Blancpain to please re-introduce smaller versions of the Fifty Fathoms. Thanks to the ceramic case, this is a very easy watch to wear, even at 43.60mm x 13.83mm. What I was curious about was whether, being a Fifty Fathoms in name, it was, if not in physical details, a Fifty Fathoms in spirit as well. The Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Plasma Grey Ceramic is a Fifty Fathoms in name, but it's a thoroughly modern dive watch in materials, design and execution. There being many ways to skin a cat, however, manufacturers nowadays often start with the ISO and end up in an almost infinite number of different destinations. Therefore, whatever else a diver's watch has or does, we expect it to conform to what, to dive watch enthusiasts, is Holy Writ: that series of specifications known as ISO 6425, and its commandments. Though I'd be comfortable betting heavily that the majority of diver's watches will never dive, the non-divers who buy them do so for a reason, or reasons – among these, that they want something that has all the technical properties of a real diver's watch, including toughness, reliability, accuracy, and of course, a no-frills style that says, I'm such a man's man I can't be bothered with style.
