Hublot’s three new limited editions in partnership with the Argentine Football Association

Hublot loves football. The brand has been associated with the sport since 2006, and has become the Official Timekeeper of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Hublot also started a partnership with the Argentine Football Association (AFA) in September 2022 — to commemorate their union, the brand unveiled 100 Big Bang e pieces (connected watches) in honour of Argentina. The team also won the World Cup in the same year. Now, the watch brand in collaboration with the Argentine Football Association is introducing three new timepieces, which include two Big Bang Unicos and one Classic Fusion.

Big Bang Unico

Hublot Big Bang King Gold (Ref. 441.OE.2080.RX.AFA24)

There are two 42mm Big Bang Unico models - one is limited edition of 25-pieces, featuring a satin-finished and polished titanium case (Ref. 441.NE.2080.RX.AFA24) and the other is a 10-pieces limited edition with a King Gold case (Ref. 441.OE.2080.RX.AFA24). Both the watches entail a ceramic bezel in Albiceleste sky blue colour to match the official jersey of the AFA. The skeletonised dial is incorporated with a matte white small seconds counter that has a laser-engraved ‘World Cup’ won by the team in 2022 and minute counters at 9 and 3 o’clock respectively. There’s a date window inside the 3 o’clock counter, and matt white Arabic numerals and hour markers.
