Hublot has been a proud sponsor of Juventus F.C., a soccer team from Italy, for a few years now and they have recently created a limited edition timepiece to celebrate the team. Hublot often creates unique timepieces for the various soccer clubs and teams that the sponsor, and since Juventus is currently the Coppa Italia cup holder, it makes sense for them to create this timepiece.
Based on their popular Big Bang series of watches, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Juventus was crated specifically with soccer in mind. The watch is set up in a way where it can easily time the 45-minute halves of soccer games.
The watch features Hublot’s bi-retrograde Unico movement and an automatic winding mechanism. The 45 mm case is made from black and satin ceramic, it has sapphire crystal glass, titanium screws and buttons, and the Juventus logo which is found throughout the piece.
Hublot unveiled the timepiece at Juventus’s stadium in Turin where coaches, the president, and members of the team were present. In total, only 100 units will be available for the public to buy. So far a price has not been announced, but we can infer that a limited edition Hublot won’t exactly be cheap. The CEO of Hublot, Ricardo Guadalupe, said in a recent press release:
We’re proud to renew our relationship with Juventus and to house our iconic Big Bang in black and white livery. Football is one of Hublot’s passions, and to celebrate this partnership in the magnificent setting of the Juventus Stadium was an emotional moment. Today is the kick-off of a new chapter in our partnership with one of the clubs that have marked the history of the sport internationally. Hublot loves football!
