It shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that Hublot is actively involved as a sponsor in the continuing exploration of the famous Antikythera shipwreck – especially since the brand has already launched different watches based on the legendary, ancient mechanism.

Apart from that, Hublot also introduced a dedicated version of its 4,000-meter-water-resistant dive watch, the Hublot Oceanographic, shortly after the first tests of its branded exosuit (below) were conducted — even though such a suit is much more like a man-sized submarine than a traditional diving suit, and thus the person operating it wouldn’t need an external dive watch at all.

The real surprise, however, comes in the form of a yellow underwater drone that Hublot specifically developed for the last scientific expedition to the shipwreck. With it, the Swiss brand becomes a much more integral part of the exploration than if it were merely providing funds in exchange for a logo placement.

Mathias Buttet, Head of Research and Development at Hublot, was kind enough to explain some of the design features of this remote-controlled drone, which has helped reduce the number of manned dives significantly and counts among its many functions the capability of removing sediment with a water jet.

The drone is equipped with several cameras, which should allow a much more thorough exploration of the wreck as well as more focused planning for manned dives.
