A word from the explorer
“When you are isolated, without being able to recharge your batteries. When you are tired, and you have to organize on specific slots. When you have to react quickly, being certain that the equipment will not suffer. When the waves are there, 100% humidity, difficult progress, unstoppable shocks… Being able to count on my watch on a daily basis; whether it is a reference point day or night, has been of great help. Also a pride to wear the symbol of an extraordinary adventure through time! Back to Campana 1840-2022 – the adventure has only just begun!”
