Blancpain supports Gombessa V "Planet Mediterranean" adventure

Blancpain continues to work with Laurent Ballesta to support the fifth Gombessa expedition,urwerk ur-110 replica, a new exploration mission that will take place in the Mediterranean region of the French coast in July. For the first time in history, the expedition used a closed loop respirator to combine saturated diving with scuba diving. Our goal is to reveal the secrets that the Mediterranean is still well preserved. We believe that we know these secrets, but they are still full of mystery.

Laurent Ballesta is a marine naturalist, a famous underwater photographer and a pioneer in the use of innovative diving equipment. Since 2012, Blancpain's support has enabled him to leverage his talents within the framework of the Gombessa Expeditions project, with the aim of promoting a deeper understanding of the deep ecosystems, which until now are inaccessible and unknown. The project has undergone four major missions, as well as other missions to Reunion Island, the Philippines and Polynesia. As a result, Laurent Ballesta has made significant contributions to the Blancpain Ocean Commitment (BOC) event worldwide.

Every Gombessa adventure is characterized by scientific mystery, diving challenges and unprecedented image commitment. Gombessa V is no exception.perfect replica watches, To allow time to execute a series of scientific protocols commissioned by the research center and to demonstrate these deep ecosystems, the Gombessa team developed the world's number one: using closed-circuit rebreathers to combine saturated diving with scuba diving. Saturated diving allows professional divers to work on underwater construction sites, attaching the umbilical to the surface, providing breathing gas to the umbilical cord and allowing them to communicate.

The time they spend underwater is theoretically unlimited, but they can only move a few meters around the area where they work. Scuba diving, as the name implies, allows for free movement, but is characterized by strict time limits. In fact, taking a few minutes in depth, it is necessary to decompress for several hours to avoid any accidents. The combination of these two technologies makes it possible for the first time to avoid the need for decompression during the expedition and to have a four-day meeting at the end of the mission. As a result, Laurent Ballesta and its three companions will be able to explore for eight hours a day to achieve their ambitious goals.

Like previous expeditions, Gombessa V will be the subject of a documentary, an exhibition and a book that will reveal the discoveries made by the Laurent Ballesta team to audiences around the world in 2020. In the presence of undisputed evidence of climate change and the extinction process, new wealthy and unspoiled territories have been found to provide a promising message.HUBLOT MP-02 Key of Time 902.ND.1190.R
