Laurent Ballesta and his team discovered an underwater landscape that reveals volcanic activity over time: areas marked by recent lava flows, intermediate zones and places spared by the lava flows. Each of these areas has its own particular ecosystem, sometimes capable of achieving a balance in this volcanic chaos.

The self-winding chronograph movement beats at a frequency of 5 Hz, enabling each second to be divided into 1/10th intervals. This high frequency guarantees increased accuracy, particularly when timing events. The F385 movement is equipped with a vertical clutch and a chronograph mechanism controlled by a column-wheel. It has a flyback function that enables the chronograph to be reset to zero and restarted instantaneously by simply pressing the push-piece located at 4 o'clock.
Featuring a textured mother-of-pearl dial set with 70 diamonds, each timepiece is adorned with colourful midnight blue, peacock green, forest green, lilac or turquoise Roman numerals, matching the colour of its strap.
The visual balance characterising the new Ladybird Colors models is subtly ruffled by an asymmetrical touch found on all the dial elements. The offset Roman numerals are underscored by an inner ring adorned with delicately tapering gemsetting that continues on the small seconds and moon-phase indicators. Yet another means of asserting the individual nature of these colourful timepieces.

Among the Blancpain Ocean Commitment stands the Brand’s partnership with deep diver, underwater photographer and biologist Laurent Ballesta. Blancpain has been supporting his Gombessa Expeditions since the very first mission in 2013.
Laurent Ballesta’s Gombessa project focuses on studying some of the rarest, most elusive marine creatures and phenomena on Earth. Ballesta and his team use electronically controlled closed-circuit mixed gas rebreathers to reach extreme depths and bring back unique scientific data, photographs, and videos.
Their activities are consistently marked by triple challenges of a technical, scientific and artistic nature. To date, there have been six major Gombessa expeditions and several other missions, all underwritten by Blancpain.

An iconic timepiece that marked the history of watchmaking and encouraged underwater exploration.
Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary
Act 1
Launched in 1953, the Fifty Fathoms is the first modern diver’s watch. Created by a diver to meet the needs of underwater exploration, it was chosen by diving pioneers and elite marine corps around the world as a professional timekeeping instrument.
Throughout the years, the Fifty Fathoms has been established as the archetypal diver’s watch and continues to define the identity of such timepieces for the entire watch industry.
Bearing witness to the past while simultaneously looking firmly to the future, contemporary Fifty Fathoms models incorporate modern movements renowned for their robustness and reliability, derived from Blancpain’s longstanding experience in the field of diving.
Measuring 43 mm in diameter and water resistant up to 30 bar (approximately 300 m), this edition combines a red gold case, hands and hour markers, with a blue sunburst dial and matching bracelet, forming a striking harmony.

Brooke Pyke, 1st place
Celebrating inspirational women in ocean photography. Here’s to the boundary-pushers and innovators; the pioneering spirits and the resolute; the forward-thinkers and the cause-committed. Here’s to femininity, without compromise. Which female photographer most inspires you? Local or international, amateur or professional, famous or not. Let’s raise them up. Let’s inspire the next generation of ocean women through their example. Let’s push for parity.
The Ocean Photographer of the Year
Ben Thouard, 1st place
This award will be given to a young photographer who shows photographic ability beyond their years as well as clear ocean literacy – an understanding of what their subject matter is, why their photograph is important and the message the images is trying to convey.
__
Steve Woods, 1st place - Human Connection Award: People and Planet Ocean
The Human Connection Award: People and Planet Ocean is a celebration of our species being a part of nature, not apart from nature.
Submissions should highlight an individual's connection with the ocean (photographer or subject), whether that be an image of a marine biologist hard at work in the field, an image of an Indigenous person fighting for the protection of their ancestral coastline or any other instance of a person connecting with our blue planet.
Awarded to the photographer who most convincingly showcases a long-held commitment to ocean conservation through a striking body of work – strong enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the judges. A total of ten images must be submitted, taken at any time during the photographer’s working life.
Awarded to the photographer who most successfully translates our species’ love and fascination of life in, on and around the ocean. The ocean is full of adventure, whether you’re sailing across vast expanses of it, surfing in tight barrels on remote reefs or diving on pristine drop-offs. What does ocean adventure mean to you? And how have you effectively captured that through imagery?
Awarded to the photographer who most powerfully communicates stories of hope and recovery. This could focus on a particular species, a wider ecosystem or human endeavour in finding solutions to the problems we face.
Impact - Simon Lorenz, 1st place
Awarded to the photographer who most powerfully communicates any of the many perils facing the ocean today. This could focus on the plight of a particular animal, species or wider ecosystem.
Awarded to the photographer who creates imagery of particular aesthetic power. Beautiful, imaginative, creative, elegant. Colour and black and white submissions are both encouraged.
