It certainly shows the signs of that history\u2014specifically, the wear and tear from rigorous diving operations by the German Navy\u2019s combat swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>The case clearly reflects this history of active use, yet impresses overall with its excellent condition and appears to be unpolished. The caseback features a perfectly preserved Bundeswehr engraving. I have had the privilege of offering three of these watches previously and the engraving on this particular piece is the best yet. Definitely untouched!<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;No Radiation&#8221; dial is a visual beauty,with minor imperfections. The &#8220;No Radiation&#8221; symbol stands out beautifully with sharp print and excellent color. The zinc sulfide lume material is fully intact and displays a lovely patina.<\/p>\n<p>As is common with these dials, the minute track between the 8 and 9 o&#8217;clock positions show some wear, and the &#8220;SWISS&#8221; print has faded slightly.<\/p>\n<p>The set of hands is, of course, original to the dial and in excellent condition for its age.<\/p>\n<p>The bezel is superb\u2014specifically the original early version featuring darker numerals and 5-minute markers. This is exceptional, as many bezels were replaced over time due to cracking. This example is wonderfully preserved and enhances the watch&#8217;s immense charm.<\/p>\n<p>This Blancpain &#8220;Bund&#8221; comes with comprehensive service documentation from Blancpain dated 2024. A full service costing over \u20ac4,000 was performed and documented. This provides the assurance that the watch requires no maintenance for the foreseeable future and confirms that all components are authentic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: Character, history, and a comprehensive service from the manufacturer. This is what makes a vintage \u00a0watch a true joy to own.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brand:\u00a0Blancpain Model:\u00a0Fifty Fathoms No Radiation BUND Year:\u00a0ca. 1962 Serialnumber:\u00a02084XX Material:\u00a0Steel Bracelet:\u00a0Canvas Diameter:\u00a041 Millimeter Condition:\u00a0very good Box&amp;Papers: service papers Blancpain Fifty Fathoms &#8220;No Radiation&#8221; Bundeswehr, with Blancpain Heritage service papers.
