In the realm where haute horology meets celestial exploration, Blancpain X Swatch collaboration adds a new gem to its Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection: the Ocean of Storms. Embarking on a lunar-inspired journey, this timepiece pays homage to the enigmatic Oceanus Procellarum, known colloquially as the Ocean of Storms, nestled on the moon's near side.


A Lunar Ode to Timekeeping Excellence: The Ocean of Storms joins its predecessors – Arctic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Antarctic Ocean – in a symphony of elegance and innovation. Crafted with precision and finesse, this timepiece stands as a testament to Blancpain's iconic Fifty Fathoms legacy, which revolutionized dive watch engineering over seven decades ago.


Innovative Craftsmanship Meets Lunar Majesty: While not as vast as its lunar namesake, the Ocean of Storms exudes celestial allure with its sleek black hue, reminiscent of the New Moon's mysterious visage. Powered by the Swatch mechanical movement, SISTEM51, this timepiece boasts unrivaled anti-magnetic prowess and a remarkable 90-hour power reserve, embodying the pinnacle of automated watchmaking excellence.


A Nod to Nature's Wonders: Adding a whimsical touch, the Ocean of Storms features a delicate nudibranch motif, Okenia Luna, adorning its rotor. As the wearer's wrist moves, this enchanting sea creature comes to life, symbolizing the harmony between terrestrial elegance and lunar mystique.


A Tribute to Ocean Conservation: In an ode to marine preservation, the Ocean of Storms proudly flaunts its Bioceramic construction, crafted from a blend of ceramic and biosourced materials derived from castor oil. Complementing this commitment, its NATO straps are ingeniously repurposed from recycled fishing nets, echoing a shared dedication to sustainable luxury.


Embrace the Depths, Preserve the Seas: With a water resistance of up to 91 meters, the Ocean of Storms pays homage to its namesake and Blancpain's maritime legacy. Each stroke of the hands whispers tales of adventure and exploration, urging wearers to protect and cherish the oceanic wonders that inspire us all.


Available for Exploration: Set your course for discovery as the Ocean of Storms makes its debut worldwide on January 11, 2024, coinciding with the New Moon's celestial dance. Embrace the spirit of adventure and indulge in this exquisite timepiece, available exclusively at selected Swatch boutiques. Immerse yourself in the elegance of the Ocean of Storms – a timeless tribute to lunar splendor and maritime heritage.
