Press release:


RETURN TO ANTIKYTHERA

Will technological advances lead to more discoveries?

 

It's every archaeologist's dream adventure. In 1901, the "Antikythera" treasure was discovered in Greek waters, where the remains of what is probably the oldest "astronomical calculator" in the world were uncovered.

 

Today, a scientific expedition led by Brendan Foley (diver and archaeologist) is returning to the Antikythera site off the coast of Kythera to carry out a second historic dig, this time equipped with a latest generation dive suit designed for extremes:

The EXOSUIT, which is sporting Hublot colours for this special event.

 

To support and mark this occasion, Mathias Buttet, Hublot R&D Director attended the dives, and presented the OCEANOGRAPHIC EXO4000 dive watch, also designed for extremes, and which pays tribute to the scientists involved in this incredible adventure.
