Everyone can take a peek behind the scenes to check out the aquatic depths of this year's Greenroom or, this year, what should be referred to as the "Blue room." Guests are invited on a journey to the bottom of the sea as presenting sponsor Rolex links the design to its Perpetual Planet campaign Rolex-which has sponsored the Greenroom since 2016- is also the exclusive watch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Founding Supporter of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, which aims to preserve film history Rolex's connection to the oceans started with the creation in 1926 of the world's first waterproof watch, the Oyster.

Rolex set to work creating "Tool" watches that could go ever deeper and could track immersion time, vital for diving safety In 2012, an experimental watch, the Rolex Deepsea Challenge, went to the deepest point in the oceans with filmmaker and explorer James Cameron, strapped to the outside of his submersible on a robotic manipulator arm Rolex also pays homage to the pure theater of filmmaking through a mise-en-scène in an aquarium that is framed like a cinema screen from the days of old Hollywood.

The actual Rolex Deepsea Challenge watch that accompanied James Cameron to the deepest point of the oceans is displayed among the stylized fish that are depicted among seaweed and shells, all exquisitely sculptured by hand and covered in leather. . Source
