Different Styles They adhere to
Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms are luxury diving watches or tool watches, but they adhere to different styles.
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Titanium 5000-1230-B52A
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms looks simple and low key, but in essence, it’s a real luxury model, because its designs and craftsmanship reflect high end quality and refined details. Black gold-plated rotor stands out throughout sapphire back, while the other two models aren’t fitted with the component. The narrower bezel and smaller hour markers on the simple-style dial make the Fifty Fathoms look like a dress watch. In general, the line is equipped with canvas straps and rubber bands. It reflects s stronger sense of luxury.
Rolex Submariner date Black Ref. 116610LN
Rolex Submariner is the most standard diving watch all over the world, whose details achieve the best balance points, like Oyster case, Oystersteel, accuracy, iconic look. Rolex never highlights some feature on purpose, and exterior look of the Submariner changes a little from starting to today.

Different Fittings
Of three diving watches, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5000-1230-B52A has the best fittings. The 60-minute scale on ceramic bezel is filled with liquid metal, so it presents different colors under different rays. Cal.1315 is better than Cal.3135 and cal.8900, supplying 120-hour power reserve. With the help of the black gold-plated rotor, silicon hairspring and delicate decorative grain, Cal.1315 is outstanding. Because Blancpain and Omega both are branches of Swatch Group, Omega Seamaster 215.30.44.21.01.002 also is fitted with a liquid metal ceramic bezel. One fourth of the bezel is filled with orange rubber, so the technology for Omega ceramic bezel is higher than Blancpain’s. I have introduced its performance below, and I won’t repeat. As for power reserve, Rolex Submariner 116610LN only has 48 hours, less than the other two models. But, Rolex has a strong advantage-accuracy. Rolex Cal.3135 is honored as a superlative chronometer. Daily error ranges in +2/-2s. Oyster Bracelet with Extension System helps a lot when divers are wearing thick diving suits.
