Hublot unveils two timepieces commemorating the champion Usain Bolt during the SIAR - Mexico's trade fair for fine watchmaking. Presenting the Hublot Big Bang Sapphire Chronograph Unico Limited Edition Usain Bolt Victory Set - limited to eight pieces.

The watch is limited to eight pieces as it represents the number of Olympic medals won by Lightning Bolt. Its 45-mm diameter case is made from polished transparent sapphire, which allows you to appreciate the complexity of its construction.

The very exclusive second model will only be made in one edition. Its sapphire case is covered with gold plate, a great first! Etched with “Unique Piece” (Single Edition) on its back.

Each of these eight watches shall be delivered in a box including a pair of Puma Gold sprinting spikes, the same shoes worn by Usain Bolt during his final Olympic Games in 2016, and personally signed by the great champion.

The sale of this watch shall give rise to a donation to the Usain Bolt Foundation, a charity launched by the champion to raise funds for schooling and cultural education for disadvantaged children.

The number of the limited edition is engraved on the sapphire glass back using a highly delicate procedure. The seconds hand on the black dial with golden markings is shaped like lightning, in reference to Usain Bolt’s nickname. The crown and push buttons are in 18 carat gold—the colour of victory.
