Today, Blancpain has announced a reissue of the original Barakuda, which retains many of the aesthetics of the original but provides numerous technical upgrades. The reissue features a stainless steel 40mm case (actually slightly smaller than the original’s 41mm) depth-rated to 300m, the classic two-tones hour indices of the original, and “aged” lume. You also get a unidirectional, sapphire dive bezel and a vintage-inspired, “Tropic”-style dive strap, the type on which an original Barakuda likely shipped.
