Relógios Breitling apoiam tentativa de recorde de mergulho em apneia

A Breitling associa-se a um piloto da aviação civil que é também o recordista mundial de mergulho em apneia. Apelidado de "Peixe Voador", Herbert Nitsch é o primeiro e único ser humano a ter descido à profundidade de 214 metros, apenas com um único fôlego.

Agora, Nitsch propõe-se atingir a mítica barreira dos mil pés - 305 metros - de profundidade. No pulso, levará um Breitling Superocean, estanque até 1.500 metros.


O comunicado da manufactura suíça:

A longstanding partner of aviation professionals, Breitling is now associating with an airline pilot who is also a freediving world record-holder on familiar terms with both great heights and extreme depths. Nicknamed “The Flying Fish”, Herbert Nitsch is the first and only man to have descended on a single breath to the amazing depth of 700 feet (214 meters), and is now aiming for the legendary 1,000-foot barrier, meaning 305 meters beneath the sea. This exceptional athlete is capable of holding his breath for over nine minutes and is renowned for his formidable mental and physical strength.


In order to push the borders of human accomplishments and to surpass his own limits, Herbert Nitsch has now set himself the goal of reaching the legendary 1000-foot barrier – corresponding to the incredible depth of 305 meters on a single breath. A feat that will doubtless confirm his second nickname: “The Deepest Man on Earth”. With the new Breitling Superocean – a rugged, high-performance watch water-resistant to 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) – he has found the ideal companion in taking up this challenge and ensuring his security as he continues to cultivate his twin passions for great heights and extreme depths.
