The fake Fifty Fathoms Full Moon is a replica of Blancpain's lunar-phase dive watch, pairing the classic Fifty Fathoms case with a moon aperture at six o'clock. It appeals to buyers who want the complicated dive-watch look without genuine-watch money. Below is what the replica includes, how it is built, and how ordering works.
What Is the Fake Fifty Fathoms Full Moon?
It is a copy of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms with a full calendar and moon-phase display. Most versions use a steel case in the 43 mm range, an automatic movement driving a lunar disc, and a dial printed to match the original layout.
Key Features
- Moon-phase aperture at six o'clock with a rotating lunar disc
- Full calendar showing day, date, and month
- Stainless steel case with a unidirectional rotating dive bezel
- Domed sapphire or hardened mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating
- Automatic movement, with quartz options on lower-cost builds
- Screw-down crown and caseback
- Luminous hands, hour markers, and a glowing bezel pip
- Choice of rubber strap, leather strap, or steel bracelet
Materials and Specifications
Cases are normally 316L stainless steel, polished along the flanks with brushed lug tops to hide scratches. The crystal is domed and slightly box-shaped, which gives the dial the vintage distortion the original is known for. Case diameter sits near 43 mm with a thickness around 13 to 14 mm, and lug width is usually 22 or 23 mm. Lume is applied generously to the markers, hands, and bezel pip. Water resistance is typically listed at 3 to 5 ATM on replica builds, which covers splashes rather than diving.
Shipping and Returns
Most orders ship from overseas warehouses with tracking, and delivery commonly takes one to three weeks depending on destination. Sellers usually accept returns within a short window if the watch is unworn and the protective film is intact, so confirm the exact policy and the return address before you order.
Does the moon phase actually move?
On automatic versions, yes. The disc advances gradually and completes a full cycle in roughly 29.5 days. On quartz versions the lunar disc is usually decorative and does not track the moon.
Can I swim with it?
Treat it as splash-resistant only. The stated rating covers hand washing and rain, not swimming, showering, or diving.
How should I care for it?
Keep it away from strong magnets and set the calendar and moon phase only during daytime hours, when the movement is not mid-change. Store it in the box and have it serviced if accuracy drops noticeably.
