First Zimbe Limited Edition watch was introduced in 2016. Since then, 11 Zimbe editions have been released. The term “Zimbe” comes from the Japanese name “Jinbe Zame”, meaning “whale shark”. Therefore, on one side, Zimbe series is all about protection of whale sharks. The other side of the game follows their nature - which brings us to the short lesson about sharks:
Some species of sharks have to swim all the time in order to stay alive. As well as other fishes, sharks take oxygen from the water that passes through their gills. Small blood vessels extract the oxygen from the passing water and carbon dioxide is excreted the same way. What differs in different species is how the water is forced through the gills. The fishes that are not active swimmers, for example bullhead sharks, use buccal (mouth) muscles to draw the water into their mouths and through their gills, which allows them to breathe while they are still. Additionally, they have small respiratory openings behind their eyes that help them draw the water in when they are buried in the sand. Some other species, for example tiger sharks, have the ability to switch between buccal pumping and “ram ventilation”, which is a way of pumping water through the gills by swimming fast with their mouths open. The third group of sharks are called “obligate ram ventilators” and those have lost the ability to pump the water through their gills while remaining still. They can only breathe when they are swimming, therefore they have to move constantly. This group includes great white, mako and whale sharks, among others.
