In 1954 Waltham ceased to produce watches in the United States and began partnering with Blancpain. Under the Fifty Fathoms line, the present watch was produced in an extrememly small number of examples where less than a handful have ever been seen in the market.
These watches have the signature Fifty Fathoms aesthetic, showcasing a large and thick case, popular luminous 3-6-9-12 dial style which is signed by Waltham, and wide luminous bakelite bezel. The case back is engraved; Waltham, Automatic, Antimagnetic, Waterproof, Shockprotected.
