There's no denying that the Zenith Replica Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC, introduced this year at Baselworld, was one of the home runs of the show. Inspired by a military specification 50 Fathoms from 1957, issued to the French Navy (aka the MIL-SPEC 1), this timepiece has it all a greatsize, a fantastic look and theperformance to back it all up.

The Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC is updated to 40mm, with Super-LumiNova markers on the bezel, which itself is covered with a sapphire ring. Despite the overall update to modern-day technology,Replica Rolex Submariner including the Zenith Replica manufacture caliber 1151 automatic movement, the water-ingress disc that wasoriginally used to let a diver know ifwater had gotten inside the case is stillthere. The new watch is water-resistant to 300 meters, so the disc is a design nod to the past in a thoroughly contemporary timepiece.
