Rolex meets Mission Blue Rolex and its Perpetual Planet partner Mission Blue recently unveiled a new Hope Spot in the Galapagos Islands. Hope Spots are protected marine areas that have been identified as critically vulnerable as a result of declining ocean health. The archipelago has long fascinated conservationists and was one of the initiative’s first-ever Hope Spots in 2010, but mounting evidence has recently highlighted the need for further conservation efforts. A 2022 expedition led by marine biologist Sylvia Earle – the founder of Mission Blue, who first visited the islands in 1966 – uncovered new data on deep-sea species and assessed the efficacy of conservation efforts to date. The partnership marks Rolex’s near century-long support of expeditions and the spirit of explorers, from the Rolex Oyster summitting Mount Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953, to ascending to the deepest depths of the ocean in 1960 and again in 2012.
