This affordable diver will convince you that you need a Halloween watch

We’re going deep down the watch nerd rabbit hole here, but this is a nod to the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms “No Rad,” one of the most sought-after vintage examples of the classic diver’s watch. The watch came onto the market in the 1960s after the dangers of radium lume came to light and promoted its new model fewer radioactive tritium on the dial with a yellow-red atomic symbol reading “No Radiation.”

Although there are no ghosts on the dial, ghosts can still be seen on the 50 Phantoms No Radiations, but all 50 of them have migrated to the bezel, where they gather under the K1 mineral glass crystal. And just like their dialed brethren in the Classic version, these ghosts are fully illuminated with blue and green Super-LumiNova.

Prices and availability

One of my favorite things about watches is the sheer amount of tiny details that can be packed into these tiny little machines. And these new Spinnaker watches definitely don’t disappoint in this department. Everywhere you look there is something clever to be discovered, which makes these divers extremely interesting to me.

Plus, these are just plain fun! Who doesn’t love a watch with a sense of humor? 50 Phantoms? Come on, that’s great. And the fact that these are true mechanical diving watches with solid movements, high-quality workmanship and an attractive overall design (thanks, Blancpain) really puts them over the top.
