Luxury watch brands have started their own bit of competition within the already competitive sport of freediving. The prestigious watch brand Breitling just announced that Herbert Nitsch is singed as its new ambassador. Who is Herbert Nitsch? Let’s discover it together.

 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), is now aiming for the legendary 1000 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.

Since 2001, Herbert Nitsch has already set around 30 world records in the eight official disciplines approved by the International Association for the Development of Apnea (AIDA), the supreme free diving authority: constant weight; constant weight without fins; free immersion; variable weight; no limit; static apnea; dynamic apnea; and dynamic apnea without fins. In April 2010 in the Bahamas, he established three new records: two in free immersion and one in constant weight. Nonetheless, Nitsch achieved his most glorious feat to date on June 14th 2007, off the Greek island of Spetses, when he reached the depth of 700 feet in the “no limit” category. This prodigious record put him well ahead of his main competitors and is still unequalled to date. An innovative, self-taught athlete, Herbert Nitsch has developed his own breath-holding techniques and his own sometimes revolutionary equipment, including a small balloon that helps him balance his breathing. Nitsch gives top priority to safety issues and cooperates loosely with scientists and doctors in studying the effects on the human body of apnea and deep-sea diving.

This guy no doubt is the right guy Breitling needs as Ambassador.

Breitling has added the Bentley Supersports to its Breitling for Bentley collection. As a tribute to its advanced sports car, Bentley Continental Supersports, Bentley Supersports is a perfect combination of top technology and outstanding performance.

Extravagant yet sporty, Bentley Supersports is limited to 1000 pieces in the world. Protected by the double-sided anti-reflective convex sapphire crystal, the black dial features a center 60-counter, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock and 60-second counter at 3 o’clock, a small calendar at 6 o’clock. There are 10 stick polished markers and minute/hour hands coated with luminous material for better time reading in poor light places. The knurled bezel is another eye-catching point which definitely adds more charm to the overall design.Currently, large sizes in watches are quite popular. Bentley Supersports will never disappoint you with its durable and solid case measuring 48.7mm. It comes with a fine brushed and polished Speed bracelet that really matches the timepiece in full steel design. Clean lines and solid sense. This timepiece fully expresses the metal power and charm. And it is water resistant up to 100m.

On top of its impressive appearance, it comes with inner beauty. Breitling Supersport is powered by an exclusive automatic, 26B caliber, COSC-certified chronometer movement with 38 Jewels and high frequency (28,800 vibrations per hour). Needless to say, a movement counts a lot for a timepiece. With such stunning movement, Bentley Supersports will provide you precise time for years to come.

This Breitling Supersport watch is really great that I would mark it as luxurious, class and sporty.
