Rolex said it is now supporting two wildlife photographers in their efforts to document the issues facing the world’s oceans through visual storytelling.
Award-winning photographers Cristina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen — who cofounded SeaLegacy, a non-profit that brings together filmmakers, photographers, marine and climate experts to build engagement and protect the oceans — are the latest addition to Rolex’s expanding portfolio of partnerships.
Rolex said it helped Ms. Mittermeier and Mr. Nicklen produce two films featuring the ocean as a place of discovery and exploration that supports all life on earth.
In recent years, Rolex has increasingly moved from supporting exploration for the pure sake of discovery to exploration for protecting the planet, as part of its Perpetual Planet Initiative launched in 2019.
