History
Introduced in the early 1960s, the Blancpain Aqua Lung “No Radiation” model was created in response to public concern over the use of radioactive materials in luminous watch dials. Instead of radium, Blancpain used a safer luminous compound and prominently displayed the “No Radiations” symbol on the dial to emphasize this safety feature. Designed for professional and military divers, the watch retained the robust engineering of the original Fifty Fathoms—including exceptional water resistance, a reliable automatic movement, and a clear, high-contrast dial. Today, the “No Radiation” Aqua Lung remains one of Blancpain’s most collectible and historically significant dive watches, representing both technical innovation and a shift in mid-century watchmaking safety standards.
