The 42mm steel Fifty Fathoms on a sail-canvas strap with pin buckle ($20,500 with folding clasp, $22,000 on the steel bracelet). Chosen over the 45mm 5015 because the homages are 38–42mm. Lug width is Blancpain's "width between horns". The Barakuda, MIL-SPEC and No Radiations variants aren't linked here.
