EDITOR'S REVIEW
Hublot celebrates the extraordinary achievements of Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt with this 45mm yellow gold Big Bang Unico, a metal with which the fastest man on earth is all too familiar with. This virile example, with its openworked dial, references the living legend with a lightning bolt-shaped central chronograph hand and a silhouette of the athlete in his famous “lightning bolt” position placed in the chronograph subdial at 9 o’clock. Other details that fans of this six-time Olympic gold champion will appreciate are the green and gold hues on the dial, a nod to Usain Bolt’s signature colours, and the shiny gold calfskin strap embossed with the Jamaican flag. For a man whose career is forged on split-second timing and speed, a chronograph to measure elapsed times is the most fitting complication. Equipped with a mechanical in-house flyback chronograph movement with calendar display at 3 o’clock, this bold and highly symbolic yellow gold Hublot Big Bang watch is limited to just 100 pieces.
