Canvas Strap for Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5000,5015 – 23mm

Description

Quick answer: This canvas strap for Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is an aftermarket strap cut to exactly 23mm for the Fifty Fathoms 5000 and 5015. It comes in black or blue canvas and gives the watch a rugged, military-inspired look.

Which watches does it fit?

It fits the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5000 and 5015. These models use an unusual 23mm lug width, so most 22mm or 24mm straps either rattle or will not fit.

Why choose a canvas strap

Canvas is light and breathable, and its woven texture gives the Fifty Fathoms the look of a vintage military dive watch, the kind of watch the Fifty Fathoms was first made to be. Black is the low-key choice; blue picks up a blue dial or bezel. If you want the same look with a softer underside, compare our leather-lined canvas strap for Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, which also offers more colours and a folding buckle.

How to fit it

1. Lay the watch face down on a soft cloth so the case and crystal are protected.
2. Use a spring bar tool to compress the spring bar at each lug and remove the current strap.
3. Seat a spring bar in each end of the new strap, place one tip in the lug hole, compress the other tip and let it click into place.
4. Pull gently on both sides to check it is locked in. Never open the case back: the strap attaches only at the lugs.

Frequently asked questions

Why 23mm and not 22mm?

The Fifty Fathoms 5000 and 5015 have a 23mm gap between the lugs. A 23mm strap fills it without gaps or rattle.

Which colours are available?

Black and blue.

Will it fit the Fifty Fathoms Barakuda?

No. The Barakuda takes a 20mm strap; see our 20mm rubber strap for the Barakuda.
