The passion for football for which the Swiss watchmaker Hublot is well-known has inspired a number of premier watches. With the UEFA Euro Championship currently underway, sports fans are in for a contest on a spectacular scale – and Hublot has created a stunning piece in commemoration of the event.
Hublot Official Watch of the UEFA Euro 2016™
The meticulous design of the Unico Chronograph Retrograde UEFA Euro 2016™ endeavours to pay homage to the spectacular sporting event that is the Euros. A red, blue and white colour scheme takes inspiration from the French flag as the host nation. Even the stitching complements this theme; the red and white stitches stand out attractively on a dark blue and black alligator strap.
For those wishing to support their own country, Hublot is also releasing a range of straps which celebrate some of Europe’s most integral football nations. These will include England, Germany, Italy, Spain and of course the Swiss colours.
The piece is powered by Hublot’s in-house developed and manufactured Unico movement – made up of 330 hand-assembled components. This distinguished movement is finished with a chronograph complication and ceramic case. It is simple elegance at its best.
FC Bayern München
The partnership between Hublot and FC Bayern München was born of a similar adherence to the “Art of Fusion” – the art of combining traditional values with innovative visions. This creed has seen the team send ten outstanding players to represent their countries in the Euro. The football club and watchmaker have a number of common goals – such as international growth and longevity. Their partnership is founded on the belief that together they can make these goals a reality.
The King Power Bayern München piece announces itself with a prominent 48mm titanium case, with one black and one red rubber pusher, offset by a black ceramic crown. The black, red and blue skeleton dial and black rubber strap take influence from the teams colour scheme to create a stunning aesthetic. It is powered by a calibre HUB 4245 and an automated chronograph movement.
