Hublot Celebrates Argentine Football with Three Limited-Edition Timepieces
Hublot is proud to unveil three exclusive timepieces in collaboration with the Argentine Football Association (AFA): two Big Bang Unicos and one Classic Fusion. These watches commemorate Argentina’s victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and Hublot’s growing partnership with the AFA.
A Tribute to a Historic Victory
The year 2022 was a landmark for football fans, especially for those supporting the Argentine team. On December 18, 2022, Argentina clinched their third World Cup title with a dramatic win over France, finishing 4-2 on penalties. This historic event marked a significant moment for both Argentina and Hublot, who began their partnership with the AFA just four months earlier.
Celebrating Argentine Football with Limited Editions
Hublot’s passion for Argentine football dates back to 2010 with the release of the Big Bang Maradona. This legacy continues with the new limited editions: two Big Bang Unicos and one Classic Fusion, each designed to celebrate the Argentine team’s success and Hublot’s role as the Official Timekeeper of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Unique Designs and Features
All three special editions share common features:
- Limited Editions: Big Bang Unico Titanium (25 pieces), Big Bang Unico King Gold (10 pieces), and Classic Fusion AFA (140 pieces).
- Chronographs: Each model is a chronograph, designed for sporting excellence. The Big Bangs are powered by the HUB1280 movement, while the Classic Fusion uses the HUB1143 calibre.
- Argentine Blue: Each watch features blue tones, reflecting Argentina’s national colors. The Big Bang Unicos showcase sky blue, while the Classic Fusion is adorned in navy blue.
