“Fifty Fathoms Barakuda”
A diver's watch, the Fifty Fathoms used by the German marine in the 1960s had been delivered by Barakuda, a company specializing in diving equipment. Its civilian model introduced by Barakuda was made its return in this model. It features a smaller case of 40 mm and the color red added to the outer perimeter of the hour markers. It is particularly worth noting that the timepiece reinterpreted the original discolored radium using the modern luminescent material, Super Luminova. The hour, minute and second hands are also coated with Super Luminova, distinguishing itself from the current Fifty Fathoms watches. The timepiece is fitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel made of sapphire and a tropical rubber strap. The model is limited to only 500 pieces.
