Hublot creates the Big Bang Maradona

Published: 10 March 2010

Legendary Argentine footballer Diego Maradona is well-known for his love of watches - often wearing two at once - and will now be able to sport a chronograph bearing his own name on each wrist! Hublot has created a limited edition model in black ceramic bearing the champion's signature in sky blue on the dial, as well as his lucky number - 10.

In 1995, he was awarded the Golden Ball for his whole career. Hublot's tribute to this remarkable player, now the selector for the Argentine team, is the Big Bang Maradona. A watchmaking icon and a footballing icon - two stories in which passion, success, excellence and creativity combine.

The matt black ceramic case surrounds a black dial bearing Diego Maradona's signature in blue, with his lucky number 10 on the 3 o'clock
counter. This same blue is used for the indices and the seconds hand, and for the special 45-minute counter (to count down to half and full time!) at 9 o'clock. The alligator strap is sewn with matching thread, and the case back features a portrait of the Argentine footballing legend, arms raised in victory!
