In the movie, Li Bingbing plays Chinese oceanographer Zhang Suyin, and wears a Carl F. Bucherer time-piece in every scene. The sporty and elegant Patravi ScubaTec diver’s watch is distinguished by its technical sophistication and high degree of reliability even under extreme conditions, and is the perfect companion for her character in the action-packed movie.

With her ability to take on new challenges that take her out of her comfort zone, the international actress demonstrates true professionalism. She is one of the lead actresses in The Meg, and her character, Suyin, works together with Jonas Taylor ( played by Jason Statham ) to save a group of scientists who are trapped in the depths of the ocean and keeps them safe from a megalodon – a 75-foot prehistoric shark.

Talking about her role in the movie, Li Bingbing said : “ It was very exciting and challenging. My character is a female scientist who is faced with a lot of challenges in deep waters. During filming, we had to make full use of our imagination to act out reactions and be at the peak of our physical fitness to create the best scenes. It was a great honor for me to wear a Carl F. Bucherer watch in a setting in which I was able to do things I thought I would never be able to do. When I look at my Patravi ScubaTec, I always sense a great feeling of accomplishment. ”
