Usain Bolt and Hublot to release new limited-edition watch
Usain Bolt and Hublot have partnered to release a limited-edition timepiece bearing tributes to the legendary sprinter.
Only 200 versions of the Hublot Big Bang Reloaded Usain Bolt will be produced, bearing the sprinter’s mantra: “Anything is possible, don’t think limits.”
Described as a manifesto in motion and created with the fastest man in history, the watch will be a 44 mm signature edition crafted in black ceramic and carbon, crowned by a polished 18K yellow gold bezel.
The Big Bang Reloaded Usain Bolt is part of a collection unveiled recently, which also features the Big Bang Reloaded Kylian Mbappe, which is engraved with “Trust yourself” and features white ceramic.
In a video on Instagram promoting the timepiece, Bolt said, “This is my watch, can you believe it? Believe it.”
The piece carries yellow and green, along with the black and gold features reminiscent of the Jamaican flag; a second hand shaped like a distinctive lightning bolt and another golden lightning bolt on the back of the watch.
The dial of the Usain Bolt features the numbers 6 5 8 in succession, which, when flipped, reads 9 5 8, a callback to Bolt’s still-standing world record of 9.58 seconds in the 100 metre set on August 16, 2009, at the World Athletics Championships.
The watch will cost around 29,000 Euros or US$30,000.
