There are a number of possible reasons for the omission but it was intentional. The watch that followed this one, the Ocean 2000, was also without any numbers on the bezel. <img src="http://www.porsche-design.com/live/upload/Ocean_Kopie_4522.jpg"> Technically one doesn’t need numbers on the bezel but they are helpful.

Can anybody explain the "blank bezel" to me? Is it used only as a minute count-down? Did they forget to put numbers on it? :-) Brian,

Found this photo on the web, in case anyone's interested - the original Blancpain Bund from the 70s - http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-9/1211364/OriginalBlancpainBunddiver.jpg I’m stoked, this one looks really cool.

This is being done for one primary reason....this version will be "too close" to the original if that mark were added (especially with the plastic insert planned). This might pose a risk that consumers may be confused as to whether they are buying a homage, which is what this is, or an original BP Fifty Fathoms. This version will not be offered with a 3-H mark.
